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.

Melodic and moody in equal measure, Sheffield's FRACTURE are standouts in their local scene. Taking a more atmospheric approach to the deathcore sound, the band have recently released "A Change In What May Come", their first full EP since 2022.

Stoke-on-Trent trio THE REVENANTS have recently released their latest single "Hard Rock Mutt". A reworking of their 2019 track of the same name, the band have upped the standard in pretty much every way whilst still capturing the spirit of the original: tighter production, a stronger performance, and a newfound punchy energy.
