THE SISTERS OF MERCY is 40 this year and will play 3 special shows at London’s Roundhouse.
It howls, it’s grindingly beautiful, and it’s probably heading your way.
New and hence unreleased songs make up half of any Sisters’ set these days, although the classics get a good thrashing in rotation. Having derived their light show from the Big Bang (gleefully inventing rave lighting in the process), the Sisters see no reason to tone it down, and will be exploding in all their usual glory at the next suitable opportunity.
It is official, ARCHITECTS have claimed the UK number 1 spot on the album charts, beating out competition from the likes of Maximo Park, Alice Cooper and Digga D.
The band are actually number 1 on (all UK):
The Official Album Chart The Official Record Store Chart The Official Download Albums Chart The Official Vinyl Albums Chart AND the Official Rock And Metal Albums Chart (their fifth number 1 on this chart)
The Savonian occult rock behemoth Jess and the Ancient Ones have emerged with a new album! Their brand of heavy guitar and organ-led swagger has progressed from the twin guitar metal blast of yesteryear to Jess and the Ancient Ones’ very own take on soulful late sixties garage psychedelia. Titled Vertigo, the new record is set for release on Svart Records on May 21 this year with a foreboding sound of lysergic doom.
Download Festival 2021 has unfortunately been cancelled for the second year in a row due to the on-going coronavirus pandemic.
The 2021 event, which was set to take place at Donington Park from June 4-6, with Kiss, Biffy Clyro and System Of A Down as headliners. With the event cancelled the organisers did offer some good news in the form of confirming the headliners for 2022 with Kiss and Biffy Clyro re-confirmed to headline and with the addition of Iron Maiden as one of the headliners now instead of Sytem Of A Down.
For Those That Wish To Exist, the ninth studio record from England-based post-metalcore quintet ARCHITECTS, is out now via Epitaph Records.
The self-produced record finds ARCHITECTS tackling the biggest questions facing the future of our planet with their grandest, most expansive sonic offering yet building upon the band’s hallmark post-metalcore sound by layering a burgeoning influence of electronics and orchestral strings, horns and choirs. The result is a rich tapestry that transcends the limitations of genre and rewards exploration and immersion in its journey.
