LIVE FROM THE PIT: Behemoth, Dimmu Borgir and Dark Funeral

Dark clouds gathered over Brixton Academy in London as BEHEMOTH, DIMMU BORGIR, DARK FUNERAL joined forces to unleash a night of black metal fury. It's a powerful testament to the sheer pedigree of the lineup that a band of DARK FUNERAL's calibre was the opening act. The Stockholm five-piece has been Sweden's loudest answer to Norway's iconic second wave sound for more than 30 years. And with only half an hour to liven up our rain soaked crowd they get to work immediately. Fan

LIVE FROM THE PIT: All Points East X Tyler The Creator

One Headlining festival spot is enough, but two shows packed full of pyrotechnics, production and immense presentation? TYLER, THE CREATOR has officially left his mark in London’s biggest summer festival, All Points East. With a weekend takeover, the best Rap, R&B, genre-blurring multi-instrumentalists pack the lineup. From up-and-coming artists on the X-Stage to headliners taking over West and East stages respectively, there truly is something for everyone. LA REEZY New Orle

LIVE FROM THE PIT: Metric, Broken Social Scene and Stars

There was something special, something fitting about three of Toronto’s most enduring musical exports sharing a stage together. All three bands had spent decades orbiting the same venues, they had members collaborating and moving between projects as well as real friendships running through each other bands’ foundations. The ‘All the Feelings Tour’ brought all of their tangible history together on one stage and proved to everyone just how much warm, ear-happy noise can come fr

LIVE FROM THE PIT: Evanescence, Poppy and K.Flay

For so many millennials, EVANESCENCE has been a lifeline, a band whose fusion of vulnerability, theatrical darkness and raw catharsis offered a language for emotions they didn’t yet know how to name. With their songs shaping adolescence, survival and identity in ways that still echo through the people who grew up with them, seeing them perform over twenty years since they arrived on the scene is something special. An EVANESCENCE live show does not ease you in, it hits like a

Halloween is looming ever closer. Here at Out of Rage, we're all ready for the spookiest of nights - we've got our costumes, our horror movie marathons underway, and most importantly, no tricks and all treats with these new tracks we've been spinning. Here's what we've been listening to lately: Track of the Week: Calva Louise - La Promesa CALVA LOUISE continues to defy expectations with La Promesa, a wildly creative collision of flamenco, Venezuelan Joropo, period drama and b

REVIEW: Blind Channel - Painstream

After taking a step back from the spotlight, Finnish band BLIND CHANNEL returns with Painstream, their sixth studio album released through Century Media Records on October 30th. With it, they take a new turn. Not because the band has suddenly abandoned their signature sound but because they have something new to say. As lead singer Niko Moilanen explains, “We're not singing that much about ourselves but more of a world and how it affects us and what we see around us.” That ch

REVIEW: DIIV – ZIRP!

It’s no question that we exist in tumultuous times, fuelled by a seemingly insatiable lust for wealth and power, and Brooklyn based four-piece DIIV continue to commentate upon this with potent depth on their newest record, ZIRP! (standing for ‘zero interest rate policies’). Two years ago, the band released Frog In Boiling Water, a record that anxiously reflected on capitalism’s products of greed through a dystopian-feeling shoegaze sound, themes and tones that evolved from th

REVIEW: Polyphia - Be Not Afraid

While music fans debate genres and which bands fit the boxes, POLYPHIA pay no mind to anyone else's rules as they push the experimental boundaries further on new album Be Not Afraid. The Texas band take contrariness and stylise it into eclectic rhythms and mind-scrambling samples, combining futuristic metal with hip-hop bites, without a single organic word uttered by the band themselves to take away from the sonical exploration. Be Not Afraid on paper shouldn't work as well a

REVIEW: popfree - Overt

POPFREE’s next EP Overt covers all bases in rock and emo - self hate and growing pains with breakups and a sprinkle of anti establishment sentiment. Over seven tracks of dancing chords and building drums POPFREE resign themselves to the frustrations and laments of the world around them; the resulting EP making the perfect listen on the bus home from work as the nights get dark. Overall, Overt enjoys a resigned lamenting within its lyrics, with opening track Giving Up painti
