There is a lot on the EP that feels like an homage - dashes of early Metallica, hints of 80s Iron Maiden, especially in the solos and lead guitar work - yet it still feels fresh. This is present especially in the title track, "Cradle To Grave", the dual guitars often complimenting and harmonising with each other, emphasising the the theatrical nature of it all whilst still blending with the vocals to produce a bold, layered sound.

Spalding based KEEP THIS UP are back with brand new single "Fever Dream". A follow up to last year's "Ghosts", the track centres people who are sick of the pressure of the world, social media, and higher powers. Clearly now is the perfect time to release it.

Southampton's finest power metallers SKULLMAIDEN have released their latest track, "Killer Chipmunk", which grapples with the notion that a chipmunk could, theoretically, wield a knife and do considerable damage with it.
