INTERVIEW: Blind Channel - “Are we alone in the universe? And if we are, we're not doing a very good job about it!”

For BLIND CHANNEL frontman NIKO MOILANEN, stepping away from the spotlight was a chance to rediscover what making music meant to him and his bandmates. After 20 months away from touring and publicity, the Finnish band returns with Painstream, their sixth album, out now via Century Media Records. The break wasn't about giving up. It was about finding a different way forward. “We really needed to get rid of the deadlines” Niko explains. “We had no idea if we were gonna come bac

LIVE FROM THE PIT: Skindred, Alien Ant Farm and Spineshank

Not many bands could tear the metal community away from their spooky antics on Halloween night, but when SKINDRED put up the Bat signal for an evening at Alexandra Palace, few turned down their duty to Dred Bounce the night away. And SKINDRED did not disappoint, turning to friends SPINESHANK and ALIEN ANT FARM for support, Newport’s finest armed themselves with lasers, smoke machines, confetti canons and more sequinned costume changes than a Taylor Swift Eras concert.

Rage Reviews: Recent Releases, November 4th 2026

Just like that, Halloween is over for another year - a tragic time for alternative people around the world. Some would have you believe it's time to start celebrating Christmas already, but at Out of Rage we believe the best thing to celebrate right now is just how much music is coming out at the moment. Here's what we've been listening to lately: Track of the Week: Enter Shikari - Lightyears It has already been a month since ENTER SHIKARI announced their indefinite hiatus st

REVIEW: thrown - UNWANTED

There’s heavy, and then there’s THROWN. The Swedish hardcore and metalcore outfit have built their name on doing what they do best delivering raw aggression, crushing heaviness and music that makes listeners want to throw themselves straight into the nearest pit. With UNWANTED, they've taken everything that made them stand out in the first place and pushed it even further. Heavier, more brutal and louder than before, this is THROWN at their absolute best, delivering an album

LIVE FROM THE PIT: I Promised The World, Rosasharin and Between Machine & Me

Texan post-hardcore outfit I PROMISED THE WORLD packed out Boom in Leeds on Friday evening, to a crowd that had very clearly dressed for the occasion. White studded belts, scene hair, gaudy graphic tees and skinny jeans were everywhere, and walking in felt like stepping into a time machine. This, it seems, is the new br00tal uniform – and if you don’t get it by now, you are massively behind on the times within the culture. Boom is an extremely beloved name in the hardcore sc

LIVE FROM THE PIT: Citizen, Modern Color and Thistle

Following their fantastic release Halcyon Blues earlier this year, CITIZEN embarked on a big world tour, with two sold-out shows in London. Supported by the Californian MODERN COLOR and our own THISTLE, the show curates a perfect blend of midwest emo, shoegaze and grunge sounds, letting every attendee get immersed into a dreamer’s state. Starting the night off is the emerging Northampton three-piece, THISTLE. Their riffs are quick to become your next earworm, with overdrive a

LIVE FROM THE PIT: All Points East X Tyler The Creator

One Headlining festival spot is enough, but two shows packed full of pyrotechnics, production and immense presentation? TYLER, THE CREATOR has officially left his mark in London’s biggest summer festival, All Points East.

REVIEW: Coilguns - Everything We Love, We Destroy

With their fifth full length LP Everything We Love, We Destroy, Swiss noise-rock innovators COILGUNS are entering a new era; what they are calling “Coilguns 3.0”. Having started out in the DIY Hardcore scene they evolved from frantic, scrappy hardcore to a sound they describe as “lazier, fatter and darker” on 2018's Millennials. From there has evolved further into something often much more melodic but never losing their noisy edge, culminating in their critically acclaimed r

REVIEW: Comeback Kid - Chosen Hell

With over 25 years behind them, Canadian hardcore legends COMEBACK KID are back with their seventh LP, Chosen Hell. COMEBACK KID's iconic backlog has massed them a dedicated fanbase over the years, and this album keeps within their renowned sound while adding experimental layers that show exactly why they’ve been a household name in hardcore punk for so long. The album starts off strong with Target On My Back. High speed and riff heavy it’s exactly what one would expect from

REVIEW: Spanish Love Songs - Future Nausea

Consistency and patience are often what it takes for a band to develop its own identity and find its place in the music world. SPANISH LOVE SONGS are no strangers to that journey. Over the last decade, the five-piece from Los Angeles have steadily reaped the rewards of their hard work, building a following through their melodic punk rock sound, selling out tours, appearing at festivals and sharing stages with some iconic names such as ALKALINE TRIO and KNOCKED LOOSE. Their la
