Alestorm - The Curse of the Crystal Coconut
Starting off “The Curse of the Crystal Coconut” is the first single of the album “Treasure Chest Party Quest”.

The music video for this turns the weirdness up to...

GWAR - The New Dark Ages
If you’ve been active in the heavy metal scene then you would probably have seen a band dressed in sci-fi esc outfits tear the skin of unfavourable politicians of the past or even introduce crowds to their “Little Friend” who happens to be at the exact height of a human man’s… y’know! That band goes...

Skarlet Envy - Nemesis
I think it’s safe to say that female-fronted rock and metal outfits are really starting to break out into the scene as of late and Skarlet Envy will be hoping they can follow suit with their unique blend of melodic metal. Releasing ‘Invidia’ back in 2019 to a decent amount of fanfare, Skarlet Envy will...
