Rage Reviews: Recent Releases, March 11th 2026
It might only be two days away from Friday the 13th, but rest assured, we're still feeling pretty lucky here at Out of Rage - we've had tons of new bangers to get spinning, and they just keep coming. Here's what we've been listening to: As Everything Unfolds - DENIAL As a single ahead of their upcoming album Did You Ask To Be Set Free the Buckinghamshire band AS EVERYTHING UNFOLDS have released a gritty but reminiscent sound in the single DENIAL . Lyrics that vary from softe


The ones to watch at Manchester Punk Festival 2026
Manchester Punk Festival 2026 is doing what it does best, packing a ridiculous amount of punk, hardcore, ska and everything adjacent into one weekend across the city. The poster says it all, there are big international names, cult favourites, and loads of bands that are going to turn smaller rooms into the kind of chaos people talk about for months. With clashes basically guaranteed, the smartest approach is to pick a few non-negotiables, then leave enough space for spontaneo

Rage Reviews: Recent Releases, February 25th 2026
As we near the end of the second month of the year, we're realising it's already been quite a busy one - we've had expansive tours, much-anticipated album releases, and of course, countless singles. Here's what we've been listening to: Chalk - Tongue Belfast-based trio CHALK pull the listener into a rage-filled, eerily intimate emotional freefall with their new single Tongue , released ahead of their debut album Crystalpunk . The opening whispers (a remnant from the song’s de


KMFDM: Dynamics, Difficulties, and Devising ENEMY
Driven by revolution, industrial metal and electronic beats KMFDM is a global phenomenon founded in 1984. The band have accumulated an astonishing 1.7 million monthly listeners on Spotify alone. KMFDM are widely considered trailblazers on the industrial scene and have continued to write profoundly bold lyricism directed at oppression, political integrity and violence. Their music is a warm embrace from the dance floor enticing you to join in with their revolutionary ideology.


MALLAVORA - On courage, catharsis, and What If Better Never Comes
There’s a particular kind of courage in building momentum slowly. No viral overnight explosion. No manufactured rebrand. Just years of graft, evolution and quiet defiance. For Bristol-based alt-metal band MALLAVORA, the recent surge of festivals, radio sessions, fashion week appearances and mounting press attention doesn’t feel like a breakthrough. It feels like the groundwork is finally beginning to breathe. “We still feel really small,” vocalist Jessica Douek says with dis


STARBENDERS: on Spiders, Synths and The Beast Goes On
A new spectre looms over the scene of alternative rock, ready to strike and inject its venom with silver-gilded fangs. It’s STARBENDERS ’ fourth album offering, The Beast Goes On : haunting in parts, jaunty in others, and an all-around knockout. This is the first project to feature new drummer Qi Wei , and “holds a special place in [the bands’] hearts” for that reason - the opportunity to make brand new mayhem together. The album launches you straight into the mix with anthem


LEAP: Taking the Jump and Never Looking Back
With a sold-out London headline show, a top five German rock chart entry, their biggest UK tour successfully finished and a fresh signing to the Epitaph Records, London-based four-piece LEAP are riding a wave entirely of their own making. Following their first full album release - Entropy , an emotionally charged statement of independence, catharsis, and friendship - we sat down with the frontman Jack Scott right after the big release to discuss this leap of faith that has cl


Rage Reviews: Recent Releases, February 11th 2026
Valentine's day may be coming up, but here at Out of Rage, the only thing we're falling in love with is the wealth of new music coming out lately. Here's what we've been listening to: The Amity Affliction - House of Cards THE AMITY AFFLICTION have released their first single from their upcoming album of the same name HOUSE OF CARDS ! This song marks the start of a new era and sets the tone for what they have to bring to the table. The track opens atmospheric and echoing with


Rage Reviews: Recent Releases, January 28th 2026
Well, what feels like the longest month in the year is almost over - it's dragged on, but we certainly wouldn't have gotten through it if we didn't have so much new music releasing, like the tracks below! Here's what we've been listening to: Dead Pony - Eat My Dust! DEAD PONY are back with a new single, Eat My Dust! ; a very fitting title because they waste absolutely zero time cutting into the action on this track. From the starting seconds, we’re hit with an intense wall of

ALBUM REVIEWS


REVIEW: Witchcraft - A Sinner's Child
Following their album IDAG last year, WITCHCRAFT have another collection of tracks due to drop this week. The Swedish occult rock group are known for their doom-folk-hard rock-stoner tracks that have been a staple in the scene for over twenty years. Their sound tends to change from album to album but generally stays in the parameters of doom, depressive folk, and hard rock. The band was founded in 2000 by MAGNUS PELANDER , and after the band was fully formed, released their


REVIEW: New Found Glory - Listen Up!
There are few bands that have defined the golden era of pop-punk quite like NEW FOUND GLORY , and with Listen Up! they prove that even decades into their career they still have something urgent to say. After a period of touring and anniversary celebrations of their earlier work, the band leap into this record with a sense of reflection and renewed purpose. Where previous releases have leaned heavily into youthful angst and breakneck hooks, Listen Up! feels like a conversation


REVIEW: Shoreline - Is This The Low Point Or The Moment After?
Whilst we feel that emo seems to be having a resurgence at the moment, bands such as SHORELINE are reminding us that emo never left the scene. This German emo/pop punk band is the first band to release an album on US label Pure Noise Records, and for good reason - because they seem to be creating a host of playlist adding songs whilst on their rise in popularity. Since joining pals ARMS LENGTH on tour, they have released a single from their new album Is This The Low Point Or


REVIEW: Powerplant - Bridge of Sacrifice
It is difficult to quite classify POWERPLANT. One part concrete kaleidoscope, one part haunted surfboard, two-and-one-quarter something so profoundly unique in its psychedelic approach to the music as concept that it simply rejects classification, on principle. Many bands provide vast experiences in their songs and albums - POWERPLANT’s newest upcoming release, the Bridge of Sacrifice , however, is not such an experience. It is a trip. Cast in skulking, faded film shadow, a c
