LIVE FROM THE PIT: The Big Outbreak X All Points East Review

ALL POINTS EAST has teamed up with OUTBREAK to bring one of the heaviest lineups the London-based festival has seen. With DEFTONES set as their headliner and a stacked roster full of punk and metal bands coming from all over the planet. We were invited by OUTBREAK to come along and review the madness, so here’s how our day went. SHOW ME THE BODY Opening up the day at the North Arena were SHOW ME THE BODY, and there is no way you would've guessed they were first on by the crow

GET TO KNOW: As It Is

AS IT IS is a band that never fails to make you feel something. They have the ability to snap you straight back to the first time Dial Tones made your chest tighten, or when Okay. felt like a mirror held up to every messy, unspoken feeling you’d been carrying around. They were the band you found through Tumblr posts, YouTube rabbit holes, or in the sweat‑heavy crush of a tiny venue where every lyric felt like it was being shouted directly at your ribs. Brighton might be wher

REVIEW: Sigh - Goh-ka

The Japanese black metal icons are back and ready for business. SIGH have been masters of the genre for three and a half decades now, and have never failed to leave an indelible mark on anyone who’s spent time listening to their unique brand of heaviness. Alongside the trio of Mirai Kawashima, Dr Mikannibal and Nozomu Wakai this album sees them joined by Frédéric Leclercq of KREATOR on bass and drummer Mike Heller of FEAR FACTORY and MALIGNANCY. The album title Goh-ka has thr

REVIEW: Circumvent - Feel The Cold

Bristol hardcore upstarts CIRCUMVENT are on the cusp of releasing their debut EP, Feel The Cold, and it’s a great start to recorded life for the dancey punks. Releasing on the fantastic Betrayed By Life Records, the five-track release is short, to the point, and plenty of fun. Opening with a self-titled sub-two minute rager, it’ll be side to side on this call to arms from beginning to end. The customary location namedrop of “Bristol hardcore!” is prominently featured within t

The Big ArcTanGent Review 2026

ArcTanGent is a festival built for its community. For 3 days or 4 (if you’re really up for it) you will be surrounded by likeminded music fans who enjoy a good mix of everything heavy, experimental and well written. It’s a music festival where the music shines louder than anything else possibly could. Platforming many artists who wouldn’t typically get a place at a festival in the UK, the biggest strength of the festival is curation. You can enter the festival knowing no one

LIVE FROM THE PIT: Desolated, Not Without Punishment, Concrete Jungle, Curfew, Hypnotize and Full Clip

Nothing says a gig is a hardcore gig more than a performance in an unexpected place. Tucked away in Southampton is the Edmund Kell Unitarian Church. An unassuming building from the outside, but a transformative space that is perfect for a hardcore show. The show was everything that a UK hardcore fan could dream of. It gave the reminiscing feel of a basement gig whilst showcasing talents of the present and future. With no barrier, a homemade set up of amps and cabs, and the h

LIVE FROM THE PIT: AFI and TR/ST

It’s been almost a decade since Californian four-piece AFI has graced the UK with their presence, and sixteen years since they last embarked on a headline tour here. In that time they have released four new albums – including 2025’s synthwave and post-punk tinged Silver Bleeds the Black Sun... – signed two separate record deals and constantly evolved their sound. Now, fans pack into Birmingham’s O2 Institute to see how those sixteen years have worn on them. But first, the sta

Rage Reviews: Recent Releases, August 26th 2026

In the two weeks past, the music world has given us the shoegazey indie-rock of BEABADOOBEE, the queer emo rage of ÓMOIA, the melancholic gothic metal of LACRIMAS PROFUNDERE, and so much more. Here's what we've been listening to lately: Track of the Week: Noahfinnce - Too Sensitive In Too Sensitive, political frustration and personal vulnerability come together into one of NOAHFINNCE’s most entertaining tracks yet. Packed with a punchy, energetic pop-punk rhythm, it is the be

REVIEW: 156/Silence - From A Distance

Following the breakthrough success of 2024’s People Watching, 156/SILENCE return with From A Distance, a record that finds the Pittsburgh quintet further refining the dark, cinematic identity that has become central to their sound. While their previous releases have often thrived on unpredictability by jumping between metallic hardcore, mathcore chaos, and experimental detours, their sixth album feels like a band narrowing their focus. Rather than throwing every idea at the w

REVIEW: Chat Pile - Who Loves the Sun

To most, it’d seem like CHAT PILE have risen to relative ubiquity extremely quickly. You’d be strapped to find a modern noise rock or sludge metal band that haven’t been compared to them at some point. As quick as their rise might feel, frontman Raygun Busch, for example, has been in various bands over the past 20 years, only finally seeing some success with CHAT PILE. This is also in spite of the odds being against the group from the start, with them struggling to book any g
