Coming hot on the heels of 2020’s masterful studio album ‘Metal Commando’, German power metal legends Primal Fear return with 5-track EP ‘I Will Be Gone’. Those who already have a copy of ‘Metal Commando’ will recognise the title track, but this new version up’s the ante on the original …

Hailing from Bowling Green, Kentucky (60 miles from Edmonton, Kentucky – the home of Black Stone Cherry, fact fans), rock outfit Kiss Kiss Bang managed to work around the restraints placed upon them through the pandemic and create sophomore EP ‘Hungry, High & Seeing Things’; a title that might just …

The Heat Inc. (“London’s loudest Rock ‘n’ Roll band”) have released their self-titled debut EP and for less of your hard-earned money than a chicken legend meal (cool mayo, natch) you can treat yourself to twenty minutes or so of riff-laden, garage rock ‘n’ roll. Fancy the CD version? Well, …
