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

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.

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

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

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

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 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,
