RADAR Festival is just around the corner, bringing an absolutely stacked lineup with it. GRAPHIC NATURE are among that list, one of our favourites in the metal scene right now, and they should be yours too! The band are playing on the Friday of the festival on the 31st of July, so here's some history behind the band and why you should definitely put them on your list. GRAPHIC NATURE are a nu-metal and metalcore fusion band hailing from Kent. Their music spans horizons in its

RADAR returns to Manchester’s O2 Victoria Warehouse from July 31st to August 2nd, and if you’ve never been, prepare to have your expectations reset. What started as a new festival in 2019 has grown into one of the UK’s most beloved alternative gatherings, built on a no-clash schedule and a knack for booking whoever’s about to blow up before anyone else catches on. This year’s line-up is stacked across three distinct days. Friday is the heaviest of the bunch, closing out with

Thursday night for a group of London metalheads was one of the most insane gigs in the alternative space this year. GRAPHIC NATURE played a sold out headline show at The Dome and the energy was electric. In the past year alone GRAPHIC NATURE have supported bands like THROWN and STRAY FROM THE PATH and played a multitude of festivals including Download, Slamdunk and 2000trees.

The Guildhall once again proved why it works so well for Takedown. The layout made moving between stag

Cold Saturday night or not, the O2 Institute is already buzzing early as fans pour in for STRAY FROM THE PATH’S last UK tour. For twenty years, they’ve been causing chaos in the punk and hardcore scene. Now they’re ready to call it a day, but they’re dropping one last album and leaving with a punch you won’t forget. CALVA LOUISE didn’t ease into the night; they hit straight into their first track ‘‘Tunnel Vision’’ like a warning shot. The room was still filling when the ener
