London symphonic metallers Tales of Perdition are no strangers to this blog - I'm a big fan of the sort of music that makes me feel ready for an epic quest. And now, the album is here, fusing symphonic metal and the New Wave of British Heavy Metal together with a healthy dose of grand theatric flair.

I think if there's one thing we can all agree on, it's that social media isn't, well, very social. And with their new release 'Social Suicide', Spalding metalcore outfit KEEP THIS UP have approached this the way they know how to - with a relentless barrage of heavy riffs and angry breakdowns.

"What happens in Cambridge stays in Cambridge", DEADLY CHANGES vocalist James Clay teases when I ask what this track is about. The follow up to the Lincoln band's debut release, 'Ride or Die', sees the quartet deliver even more classic heavy metal goodness.
