Immension Rising - An interview with Jake Kearsley

Immension are fast emerging, with their sophomore EP 'The Enemy Within' being released on 12th August.

The unsigned UK metal scene is rife with bands that want to be the new Maiden, or the new Sabbath.

GRiMMoRTaL -- Execrating Normality (Frameshift Initiatives)

India's new wave of extreme metal personified in this deathcore outfit's debut album Execrating Normality.
