    Infected Dead Interview: Rebirth - Talking 'Invicta'

    The five-piece technical death metal band that is Infected Dead are reborn and this rebirth is heralded by the release of their brand-new EP, ‘Invicta’, out now. Impressively blending death metal rawness with expressive and mature progressive detail, Infected Dead’s modern incarnation is delivering some of the band’s strongest tracks to date. Where instrumental complexities meet the appealing sound of guttural heaviness, and the resulting outburst is delightfully vibrant.

  2. VCTMS

    6 DAYS AGO

    VCTMS

    Chicago based metalcore band, VCTMS, return with their brand new EP, Pain Processing II set for release on the 1st of May independently. Often described as metalcore, or Nu Metalcore, VCTMS incorporate splashes of hip-hop, darkwave, industrial, post-hardcore and more into their sound defying genre boundaries. At their core though, no matter how experimental they get, they are angry, delivering devastating metal, hellbent on groovy, chaotic, blistering and depressive noise with lyrical content that ranges from introspection to homicidal. VCTMS deliver quite a mammoth EP here, with 7 tracks and around 24 minutes of music, getting them close to album length in some genres. An EP that feels relentless in both intent and execution, balancing sheer aggression with more than enough creativity to keep things engaging throughout. The guest spots add genuine value, while the band’s own versatility gives the record real depth. It can feel overwhelming at times, but that chaos is part of the appeal. Ultimately, Pain Processing II is a heavy, modern release that hits hard, sticks with you, and shows there’s more to VCTMS than just unfiltered brutality. Read the full review here: https://www.gbhbl.com/ep-review-vctms-pain-processing-ii-self-released/ In this interview, we spoke with vocalist, John and guitarist, Mike, about the new EP and the VCTMS mentality as they end the 'Pain Processing' cycle. We also delve into their work ethic, their creative process, relentlessly touring, and so much more.

    Interview: The Ice Cometh - Talking ‘No Place of Warmth’ with Frozen Soul Vocalist Chad Green

    Texas death metal force Frozen Soul are back with their new release, ‘No Place of Warmth’, which drops on May 8th, 2026, via Century Media Records. A blunt and bludgeoning release that not only showcases the band’s death metal prowess, but it's got some unexpected tricks and curveballs too. Some of those twists come in the form of the guest vocal appearances from Devin Swank (Sanguisugabogg), Rob Flynn (Machine Head) and Gerard Way (My Chemical Romance). In this interview, we spoke with vocalist Chad Green about the album and the journey to its release. We talk about how the record is the defining entry in their catalogue, the guests, playing live, and so much more.

    Silo Interview: Peering Through the 'Haze'

    Haze is Silo’s debut album and a document of internal collapse, survival and uneasy acceptance. Written collectively in the room rather than assembled in isolation, the record captures moments as they happen, instinct over refinement, emotion over perfection. Across thirteen tracks, the album traces cycles of addiction, disillusionment, therapy, love, loss and identity, never offering easy resolution, only honesty. The album is out on May 1st, 2026, via Easy Life Records. In this interview we talk about the experience Silo has had creating this album and getting to this point. We talk about the detail within, how they have found their identity, how they are powering forward, and enjoying every single moment, as well as much more.

    Since 2000 Interview: Closing the Curtain on the NEVERLAND Saga

    On neverland [CHAPTER II], SINCE 2000 complete the story they began with chapter I, closing the curtain on a coming of age narrative that confronts the darker corners of growth, identity and healing. Out now via Easy Life Records. Darker, heavier, and more intense, this second chapter of neverland is the yang to the first chapter’s yin. Not only complimenting the latter’s poppier side but evolving it and showing off different sides to the band. This is a SINCE 2000 that everyone can love/ It’s an EP that might come shrouded in darkness, but it shows that SINCE 2000’s future has never seemed brighter. Read the full review here: https://www.gbhbl.com/ep-review-since-2000-neverland-chapter-ii-easy-life-records/ We spoke with Dan, Scott, and Kyle of the band about the new EP, the journey to its release, how the two EPs fit together, what the future might look like, and so much more.

    Interview: The Exciting Provocative Nature of ANA with Vocalist Anna and Guitarist Josh

    Australia has long been a powerhouse for heavy music, but the Melbourne-based outfit ANA is currently carving out a niche that defies traditional categorization. Identifying as a couture symphonic metal band, the group seamlessly merges high-fashion aesthetics with the grandiosity of melodic metal. On May 29th, 2026 (Eclipse Records), they will release their brand-new full-length album ‘Motivated by Death’. An album that features the provocative ‘Hate Me’ single. That track, its visually arresting music video, and the response to it, is just one part of our interview with band members, Anna Khristenko (Vocals) and Josh Mak (Guitar). We also talk about the upcoming album, the creative journey the band has been on, and much more.

    Interview: 15 Minutes at a Time - A Lived Mantra for Alex of The Last Vinci

    Cork-based alternative rock trio, The Last Vinci, will release their new album ’15 Minutes at a Time’ on April 17th via Narrow Door Records. A powerful, deeply personal chronicle of resilience, transformation, and gratitude. At the heart of ‘15 Minutes at a Time’ lies a phrase that frontman Alex Vinci never expected would change his life. Two years ago, after being diagnosed with a chronic illness just ten days before what he believed would be his final European tour, Alex’s wife offered him simple, grounding advice: Take it 15 minutes at a time. Those words became a mantra, one that reshaped his creative voice, his view of the world, and ultimately, the soul of this new record. Supported by his family and six children, Alex embarked on a path of rediscovery, learning to live, work, and create in small, determined increments. ‘15 Minutes at a Time’ captures the entirety of that journey: the before, the during, and the after. The album channels the fear, uncertainty, hope, and resilience that transformed a life-changing diagnosis into a profound source of meaning. In this interview, we dig into the mantra and how Alex has been able to make it intrinsic to his life and how it has inspired this new record. We also talk about the creative journey, the challenges, the joy of playing live, and so much more.
