Merging genres and refusing to be placed in a box, LAKE MALICE celebrate the release of their debut album I Wanna Know If It’s Real. From supporting big names such as ENTER SHIKARI, SKINDRED and BLOODYWOOD to performing festivals such as Download, Slam Dunk and Rock For People, the Brighton based duo had been relentlessly growing their fanbase through their online presence and live shows. Whilst digesting their broad genre mix of metalcore, hyper pop and electronic sounds, LA

These past two weeks, we've been treated to the Y2K punchy riffs of SOUTH ARCADE, the emo-tinged alt-rock of CRAWLERS, and VANA's RnB-influenced alt-metal. This one's for the young people. Here's what we've been listening to lately: Track of the Week: Vana - Bleeding Heart Taking inspiration from the Lamprocapnos spectabilis flower, VANA explores the inevitability of destruction within something that is cherished the brand new single Bleeding Heart. The lyrics showcase that v

There is something different about a festival day built around one band. Before the gates had even opened at Victoria Park, Sunday at All Points East already felt like more than a collection of performances. Fans arrived dressed as characters from TWENTY ONE PILOTS' lore, while the queues became a sea of band shirts and handmade creations that were traded between strangers, creating a community before anyone had reached the stages. When the gates opened, the excitement only g

The weather's getting colder, the sun setting earlier; we're coming into Autumn now. Summer's officially over, and now the goths can come out of hiding - and anyone else who wears black, really. Probably most of us. But more importantly, we've had swathes of new music coming out too. Here's what we've been listening to lately: Track of the Week: unpeople - blueprints UNPEOPLE have released the third single off their upcoming album, we are unpeople, and it’s more delicate than

ArcTanGent is a festival built for its community. For 3 days or 4 (if you’re really up for it) you will be surrounded by likeminded music fans who enjoy a good mix of everything heavy, experimental and well written. It’s a music festival where the music shines louder than anything else possibly could. Platforming many artists who wouldn’t typically get a place at a festival in the UK, the biggest strength of the festival is curation. You can enter the festival knowing no one

In the two weeks past, the music world has given us the shoegazey indie-rock of BEABADOOBEE, the queer emo rage of ÓMOIA, the melancholic gothic metal of LACRIMAS PROFUNDERE, and so much more. Here's what we've been listening to lately: Track of the Week: Noahfinnce - Too Sensitive In Too Sensitive, political frustration and personal vulnerability come together into one of NOAHFINNCE’s most entertaining tracks yet. Packed with a punchy, energetic pop-punk rhythm, it is the be

The first time GLITTERER was showcased in the UK, it was while Ned Russin was still performing entirely solo. One man, his laptop, and his guitar against the world. Based out of Washington, D.C, GLITTERER has never fit a specific mould, but four albums and three Ep’s down the line, their latest full-length, Erer - released last November - was the moment that Russin felt this project at its most complete “I think doing the band by myself was an interesting challenge, but it

Did you catch the eclipse tonight? The brief moment the moon passed in front of the sun, casting a shadow on its glaringly-bright surface. Rest assured, unlike that fleeting glimpse, these singles aren't going anywhere, and they certainly aren't about to pass us by. Here's what we've been listening to lately: Track of the Week: SiM - Freeze Me Up SiM returns with Freeze Me Up, delivering another explosive dose of their trademark mixture of metal, punk, reggae and electronic.

These past two weeks, we've heard everything from the haunting dark-folk vocals of CHELSEA WOLFE, to IMMINENCE's melodic metalcore mayhem, to the sweeping Viking metal sagas of AMON AMARTH. Here's what we've been listening to lately: Track of the Week: Chelsea Wolfe - Cold The queen of darkwave is back - CHELSEA WOLFE’s third single for the upcoming album The Dark hints at what might be her most accessible release yet. Cold is a fairly straightforward gothic folk track - and

Everyone's fresh out of 2000 Trees festival this past weekend, with a lineup packed to the brim of every alternative genre under the sun. If bands haven't been busy playing to the sweltering masses, they've been busy putting out these banger singles. Here's what we've been listening to lately. Against The Current - Always You & I Always You & I sees AGAINST THE CURRENT embrace a cinematic, transcendental sound in a romantic rock ballad exploring themes of eternal devotion and

There’s a particular kind of restlessness that defines THE PLOT IN YOU, a tension that’s lived in the project since Landon Tewers first broke away from BEFORE THEIR EYES back in 2010. Over the years, the band has evolved from brutal metalcore to wounded post‑hardcore to dark alt‑metal, never settling long enough for anyone to pin them down. Their upcoming full‑length release, The Volume Series, feels like the most honest expression of that instinct yet. It’s a record built sl

Things are really kicking off now: not only do we have the iconic 2000 Trees festival next week, but we've also had a solid slate of tours sweeping the UK. METALLICA, MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE, HAYLEY WILLIAMS, and so much more that the summer has to offer. In the off-time, though, we're taking in these recent singles from bands both big and small. Here's what we've been listening to lately: 156/Silence - Proxy Idols Fresh off the back of a tour supporting THORNHILL as well as a hu

DELILAH BON is the type of artist who doesn’t just perform, she confronts. Her music doesn’t arrive quietly and politely; it kicks the door down, wearing platform boots and pink, demanding that you listen and feel something. Emerging from the ashes of her previous band HANDS OFF GRETEL, with a new persona built from a feeling of feminist rage and exhaustion by the misogyny and gatekeeping within the scene, DELILAH BON dropped her first single Devil back in 2020. It was a war

It's well and truly festival season - with a few major ones already having just past - and we're seeing tons of subsequent announcements across the board. Mainly upcoming tours across the UK and Europe, but we've had quite a few albums, and of course, singles. Here's what we've been listening to lately: As It Is - Live, Laugh, Love Los Angeles Confronting the ever worsening political climate in vocalist Patty Walters' home country, AS IT IS have chosen to release a final sing

There’s a particular kind of spirit that comes from starting in the places most bands only romanticise in hindsight, like the house shows, the backyards, the strangers’ floors that blur together by week three on the road. Formed in Tallahassee, Florida, and best known for their candid songwriting, intricate guitar work, and a rise shaped by the DIY scene, POOL KIDS didn’t just dip their toes into that world; they built themselves from it. When they talk about the years gone b

Aren't you glad that heatwave is over? We're certainly glad to no longer be sweating buckets, hiding away from the relentless sun. Now it's over (for now) we can trade in that heat for these hot new tunes. Here's what we've been listening to lately: Against The Current - Dead Man Walking Still riding the high from their last single and gearing up for an immense 2026/27 of tours and new music, AGAINST THE CURRENT are firmly establishing their latest evolution with gut-puncher

We're swinging out of spring and into summer here at Out of Rage, with clear skies above our heads and a sun-charged atmosphere all around us. We've been enjoying kicking our feet back and spinning some sick new tunes for the season. Here's what we've been listening to lately: As It Is - Do You Remember? AS IT IS return with Do You Remember?, their most nostalgic and self‑mythologising track yet. The track is the third single from their upcoming self‑titled album out in July

“There’s no such thing as taking it easy over here.” Vocalist Mae Seaton concisely sums up what it’s been like for WREX since they formed in 2020, particularly the last year of non-stop touring and finding time to create their upcoming EP SADWORLD, releasing 20th May. “In terms of finishing it, it was tough,” admits guitarist and producer George Donoghue, “we were behind schedule, naturally off the back of that comes burnout, your health and trying to juggle having lives and

Mayday, mayday - we're already in May; time really flies, doesn't it? While some are putting their heads down and getting through their exams, others are hastily shoving folded clothes into their suitcases for the holidays, and here at Out Of Rage, we're prepping for every metalhead's favourite time of year - festival season. What better soundtrack for that than all these new releases? Here's what we've been listening to lately: Blood Dealer - Apologies BLOOD DEALER have been

It's a gorgeous sunny Wednesday here, and while our eyes are busy taking in the beautiful sun, we're keeping our ears occupied with a wide variety of recent musical drops. Here's what we've been listening to lately: The Band CAMINO - Holly! THE BAND CAMINO is set to release their fourth studio album NeverAlways (Vol.2) in May. The album opener Holly! is their newest single and it’s bringing exactly the indie rock we’re expecting from a band like THE BAND CAMINO. It’s a feel g
