I never had the privilege of seeing MOTÖRHEAD live. They were my brother’s favourite band, my parents were fans and a number of close friends enjoyed them live too. But I never saw them live. They are a band with a legacy that is quite unlike any other. A legacy that is best summed up … Continue reading ALBUM REVIEW: Motörhead – Louder Than Noise… Live in Berlin
It’s been a few years since I joined a Power and Symphonic Metal Appreciation group on Facebook. It’s been a great way to discover new bands whilst making new friends. One group that often popped up were FROZEN CROWN, I had heard the odd song or two and liked what I heard. I had never … Continue reading ALBUM REVIEW: Frozen Crown – Winterbane
Cambridge Hard Rockers THE TREATMENT have been on my radar for the past ten years, blimey ten years. I was at university when I first listened to them and saw them live. AC/DC meets AEROSMITH were my first thoughts when listening to their debut album This Might Hurt. Fast forward to the present day and … Continue reading ALBUM REVIEW: The Treatment – Waiting For Good Luck
When a band I respect and admire releases a new song this is what usually happens; I instantly share it on social media with maybe one or two sentences explaining what it is. I always make sure to include a message stating about how you should check out the band in question. With ANGEL NATION's … Continue reading NEW SINGLE: Angel Nation – Fly Away

But I'll rarely go for the genre itself. There have been bands that have held my fascination before and I'm sure there will … Continue reading ALBUM REVIEW: Cannibal Corpse – Violence Unimagined
When I was offered to review ESCAPE THE FATE’s newest album, I could picture my teenage-self bursting with excitement! The newest record, Chemical Warfare, from Nevada’s post-hardcore outfit is to be released on 16th April. To quote singer Craig Mabbit: ‘We want people to connect deeply with the music and disappear in it. Get lost … Continue reading ALBUM REVIEW: Escape The Fate – Chemical Warfare
I had the pleasure of reviewing Sisyphus by THE MEDEA PROJECT last year. The release was pleasing and yet, at the end of my review I noted that the ”...album isn’t stereotypical doom metal and I think that works in its favour. It doesn’t seem afraid to step out of the bounds of the usual … Continue reading ALBUM REVIEW: The Medea Project – Southern Echoes
With Eleutheromania, its title tells a story to all of us. It depicts to us not to give up on our irresistible want and need for freedom which now more than ever is important to all of us at such a crucial time of its release. However, to all of us this means a unique … Continue reading ALBUM REVIEW: Trope – Eleutheromania
NAD SYLVAN is a bit different to what many of our Rock Out Stand Out readers would usually listen to. Ok, maybe quite a bit different, but before you scroll on to the next review, please bear with me a moment. Variety is the spice of life right? As long as it's of a good … Continue reading ALBUM REVIEW: Nad Sylvan – Spiritus Mundi
I have a loose understanding of the story of Final Fantasy. I use the word loose here in the same sense of a droplet of water having a loose understanding of being the ocean. The sum of my knowledge of the series can be put on the back of a matchbook with enough room left … Continue reading ALBUM REVIEW: No Hope For The Lost – The Pilgrimage
