BABYMETAL “METAL FORTH” Album Review

METAL FORTH is BABYMETAL’s way of pushing metal forward while showcasing the many forms it can take today. The collaborations are the album’s heartbeat, each drawn from bands they’ve toured with over the years. It’s wholesome to see those connections blossom from tour friendships into fully formed tracks, becoming the driving force behind one of BABYMETAL’s most ambitious records yet.

Rise Against “Ricochet” Album Review

Rise Against’s Ricochet has perhaps arrived at the most crucial time. For over a quarter century the Chicago punk quartet have remained a rebellious stronghold in pop culture, and with nine studio albums to their name, it seems they’re on track to keep it up.

Fit For A King “Lonely God” Album Review

Lonely God closes with more than volume — it leaves a mark. Fit For A King sound more focused and unflinching than ever before, pushing each track with intent rather than repetition.

Spacey Jane “If That Makes Sense” Album Review

If That Makes Sense is a slight departure from Spacey Jane’s usual brand of frenetic indie rock - it’s a bit slower in overall tempo, there’s more space in the songs. It lends well to the loose thread of confronting one’s past, and all the emotion that comes with that.

Sleep Token “Even In Arcadia” Album Review

Even In Arcadia doesn’t just peel back the mask — it burns it. Sleep Token’s most vulnerable, genre-defying record to date trades ritual for revelation, offering a raw confrontation with fame, identity, and the cost of being seen.
