"Much of Sub Rosa In Æternum is music to imbibe bedecked in a ruff and cape...and it's delicious." Tribulation's sixth album is the perfect goth rock digestif to wrap up spooky season

Oct 27, 2024 | loudersound.com | Alec Chillingworth

If you slipped into a coma during Feliciano López and Gilles Müller’s 264-minute match at the 2009 Australian Open, we’re glad you’re back. We have important news. You remember Tribulation, right? The Swedish death metallers who released their debut, The Horror, on the same day as that tennis showdown? They’re basically Fields Of The Nephilim now. Unbelievable, yeah. Like, imagine if Morbid Angel went industria- another conversation for another time. Point is, shit happens, people change.
"Top-shelf Pete Steele, sans any Playgirl spreads." Unto Others have crafted the goth rock album of the year with Never, Neverland

Sep 10, 2024 | loudersound.com | Alec Chillingworth

When Unto Others said ‘OOWAGH! HOOWAGH!’, we felt that. The Oregon four-piece don’t just play classic heavy metal, they mainline it with full-throttle, broken-bottle adrenaline matched only by Jason Statham in Crank. Their first two records were zip-locked bags of lightning – can they strike thrice? No. Yes. Sort of? Never, Neverland isn’t immediate like Mana or Strength, but as with termite infestations and Zumba classes, it spreads.
Every Bring Me The Horizon album ranked from worst to best

Aug 5, 2024 | loudersound.com | Alec Chillingworth

Deathcore dickheads. Heavy metal’s whipping boys. Trailblazers. Bona fide festival headliners… Ed Sheeran collaborators? Bring Me The Horizon’s career arc is like no other band’s. Forming in 2004, the Sheffield feather-rustlers clambered to the top of the tree by setting trends, then scampering off before everyone else snaffled up the fruits of their labour. But which of Bring Me’s experiments paid off, and which earned them a Sunday headline slot in Download Festival’s portaloos?

"This is Sabaton for shaggers." New Powerwolf album Wake Up The Wicked is epic, catchy and brilliantly daft - like all the best power metal should be

Jul 22, 2024 | loudersound.com | Alec Chillingworth

Power metal. The subgenre’s greatest bands bewitch listeners with sonic tapestries of battles, bravery and biceps. It’s life-affirming magick, more than just the soundtrack to noodle-armed youths pwning n00bs on Fortnite. This music thrives on oomph. It needs, in the words of soul icon Seal, fuckin’ wolves. Enter Powerwolf, an act for whom the word ‘subtlety’ is an affront.
"It’s just a marginally horny karaoke booth." Lord Of The Lost cover everyone from Judas Priest to Lady Gaga on Weapons Of Mass Seduction - but if you're tackling such legends, you just have to do better

Jan 1, 2024 | loudersound.com | Alec Chillingworth

Germany's Lord Of The Lost lived up to their name at Eurovision 2023, limping home in last place. And that’s fine. The five-piece thrust their sparkling gimp-sticks into millions of homes, driving curious ears toward eight records packed with gothic industrial, symphonia and lovelorn litanies. Never to waste an opportunity, they’ve since lapped stadiums supporting Iron Maiden, now consolidating their gains with... a covers album. Are they flushing all that blood and glitter down the shitter?

“When the metal community heard a Metallica song with acoustic guitars, they lost their lunches.” How Metallica beat the gatekeepers and turned tragedy into an immortal ballad with Fade To Black

Sep 25, 2023 | loudersound.com | Alec Chillingworth

The year was 1984 and everything was fast. Metallica tore from the Bay Area’s womb with their ripsnorting debut, Kill ‘Em All, the previous year; Dave Mustaine was complaining about his former bandmates doing so, licking his wounds and shopping Megadeth’s demo about; and Exodus were sitting on their classic Bonded By Blood, tangled in label nonsense. The path was clear for Metallica to consolidate their gains with Ride The Lightning. It’s a classic. You know the spiel.
