Forged in North London in 2021, SECREUM has spent the last nine years building a loyal following in their local scene. In that time, the band suffered from common pitfalls of all young bands from line-up changes to conflict of interest. These factors led to the band taking a brief hiatus in 2014. Luckily, three … Continue reading EP REVIEW: Secreum – Embrace

ALBUM REVIEW: Ecryptus – Kyr’am Beskar
For a franchise that is so well known for its musical content Star Wars has an alarmingly small repertoire of original music made in tribute to it. Now obviously some styles are more fitting than others. For example I doubt easy listening tribute to Tatooine’s finest would go down overly well but a death metal … Continue reading ALBUM REVIEW: Ecryptus – Kyr’am Beskar
EP REVIEW: Ravenlight – Intermission
For me, the best cover songs sound like the artists own creation. To the point where you are shocked to find out they covered the song and it wasn’t their own.

Until recently, I wasn’t familiar with the works of MALACODA. I was originally intrigued with their genre label of Goth Power Metal as I hadn’t really heard that being done before.

EP REVIEW: The Ramshackle Army – Highflyer
I have been writing for Rock Out Stand Out for approximately 6 months now, and although a few great albums have come close, I am yet to give a 10 out of 10...well that's about to change! The only reason I would not have given this full marks is because it's an EP, not an … Continue reading EP REVIEW: The Ramshackle Army – Highflyer
