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

If there’s one band out there that should have more attention than they get, it’s MOTHER VULTURE . The band always get recognised for having infectious energy on stage, and with their newest album, Cartoon Violence , it's only on the up from here. Making sure 2026 will be their year by kicking it off with the release of their latest album Cartoon Violence , we spoke with guitarist Brodie Maguire to discuss the creative process and the evolution of MOTHER VULTURE . The band

The Japanese metalcore five-piece CRYSTAL LAKE  formed in 2002, and in that time they have solidified their place as one of the world’s leading bands in the genre. In the last 24 years the band has evolved and adapted to get where it is now, and through this they have created a distinctive sound which will be amplified further as their latest album, The Weight of Sound , comes out this week.  The band are due to embark on a full co-headline tour with metalcore giants MISS MAY

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,

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. Built on DIY ethics and communit

From the grungy sound of OHBOY!  to the indie-pop danciness of SARPA SALPA , and most recently the hook-laden heft of UNPEOPLE ’s massive riffs, Meg Mash  has run the gauntlet of the UK’s DIY music scenes across the last couple of years. However, when a chronic illness diagnosis - in Meg ’s case, a particularly severe bout of COVID-19 - caused them to have to exit UNPEOPLE for the sake of both her mental and physical health, the possibility of touring as a career instantly we

You'd think that when deathcore heavyweights BEYOND EXTINCTION  are getting in the zone to play a show, they'd live up to their status of being one of the biggest rising stars in extreme music. As they're bombing it down the highway blasting the silky tones of DURAN DURAN  and SPANDAU BALLET  - their picks, of course - the band are anticipating an intense set, wall-to-wall with brutal bangers. “You should hear what we play in the van!” begins guitarist JUDE BENNETT “You'd ima

As a long and tumultuous year draws itself to a close, we all tend to look back across that very year and reminisce. For some, they may look back at wonderful memories of their friends or family, or perhaps a beautiful place they visited, or even a brilliant new experience they had - but here at Out Of Rage, we don't care at all about any of that. We scrapped the family photos, forgot the weekends away, and don't recall a single experience OTHER than listening to all of the b

2025 has been a massive year for Out of Rage; we've had larger shows, broader coverage, and most importantly, a whole host of new contributors joining us, many of whom had their first experience shooting gigs or writing album reviews. As the end of the year draws close, we asked our new writers and photographers: what's been their favourite part about joining Out of Rage? Joining Out of Rage has given me so much experience as a writer and photographer. It's opened my eyes to

Just over a week ahead of dropping their first self-released EP, ‘Masquerading Self,’ we sat down with Mike Evans and Joe Johnson of rising nu-metal band, Profiler. The duo shared their thoughts on the new, exciting era they are stepping into, and they reflect on the differences during the writing and releasing process this time around. Evans states, “It’s fairly different, it’s gone really well, obviously the numbers aren’t as big and we don’t have the same reach, but we’ve
