Hey Lindsay, I just happen to see that the birthday massacre is playing in Glasgow! If you’ve never seen them before I would highly recommend.

Primal Fear – Domination came out the 5th.
I hadn't heard anything about AFI in years…

AFI é uma banda que muda a cada album. Posso dizer que eles são a primeira banda de gênero fluído.

I keep coming back to Orbit Culture because I feel I should like them given the groove aspect (huge Lamb of God fan) and some Gojira elements, but something doesn't connect. So I'm seeing them live next year and that should settle it 🤘

I love the new Hooded Menace album. The inclusion of Heavy metal elements really ramp up their sound imo. Their previous release The Tritonus Bell was great aswell!

Orbit Culture is one of the best albums this year.

A lot of newer bands have multiple vocal styles in any given song, I’m not really a fan of that, not sure why. I prefer 1 vocal style, just pick 1 and stay with it. I like black metal vocals, death metal vocals, harsh clean vocals, and just clean vocals as long as they aren’t too high pitched, but I just can’t get into bands that do multiple vocal styles on each song.

Great reviews again 👍
Orbit Culture are one of my must see acts @ Bloodstock ‘26
Hooded Menace – great album, WODE never heard these guys before but what a great sound, AFI are still amazing, Bloodred Hourglass need to check out their back catalogue 👍

Really surprise that I enjoyed Orbit Culture that much since it's usually not my style. Very good album!
