OOR COVER: Conjurer on Unself, understanding yourself and being the OOR sound of 2026
As one of the preeminent bands within the UK’s death metal scene, CONJURER took the heavy music world by storm late last year with the release of their outstanding new album Unself - which, amongst its many accolades, is now Out Of Rage's sound of 2026. Now, sat with Dani Nightingale (vocals, guitar) and Brady Deeprose (guitar, vocals), we took the opportunity to delve into an album that champions poignant discussions about queerness and neurodivergence in the modern age,
GET TO KNOW: Reality Unfolds 2026
There’s something about January in London that makes heavy music hit harder. The nights are long, the city feels bruised around the edges, and there’s a collective hunger for something real. Reality Unfolds understands that instinct better than most. Returning to the New Cross Inn from 16–18 January 2026, the festival marks its fourth year as one of the UK underground’s most vital independent gatherings for hardcore, screamo and extreme music.

REVIEW: Imarhan - Essam
Very few instruments have crossed the undefined cross-cultural barrier of communication like the electric guitar. Like a fire from heaven, when in the possession of certain mortals you realise it’s a tool from a higher plane. It’s capable of so much, it speaks different languages depending on who's got their hands on it. There aren’t many places where this is more apparent than the Sahara, where the language it speaks is one of an unpretentious love for the experience of musi
REVIEW: PAVIC - Live to Thrive
Live to Thrive is a statement of intent from a band that has spent years refining its identity. Hailing from Rome, Italy, PAVIC has long fused modern metal power with classic rock melody, and this album feels like the clearest expression yet of what that fusion can achieve. Produced by guitarist and founder MARKO PAVIC , Live to Thrive is fast, uplifting, and emotionally charged, built around technical confidence but grounded in sincerity.
