[Heavy News] On The Motion Tracker - Recent/Upcoming Release Info + Mini-Reviews.
[Heavy News, 29.08.25]: Having admittedly been lacking in energy for doing full album reviews of late, I’ve nonetheless been scoping out what’s pinging the motion-tracker on the endless xeno-hunt that is new and upcoming releases. See within for press releases and some mini-review synopses for No Apologies (Aus hardcore), Hexrot (US experimental black/death), The Mansters (Norwegian fast-punk) & Now I’ve Done It (US… WTF-metal)!

[Podcast] Ep. 57: [Interview] with NICK HOLMES of PARADISE LOST (UK).
[ISC Podcast] Far from the stereotypes you might associate with a nickname like, well, Old Nick, our latest vocalist-interviewee Nick Holmes was candid, mirthful and excited in our midnight chat (very goth-coded, I know) ahead of Paradise Lost's 17th (!) studio opus Ascension. Due for release on September 19th via Nuclear Blast Records, we caught up with Nick to discuss said album, but also branch out into directions ranging from the practical (touring, songwriting, etc) all the way through to the existential.

[#MusicMonday 25.08.25] A Curious Trio of Upcoming Albums.
[Music Monday/ Heavy News - 25.08.25]: Join me in my ongoing spelunking through the immeasurably steep ascent up New Release Mountain with three particularly curious underground LP’s: US-based grunge-doom (CROP - S.S.R.I.) and self-style ‘Castle Metal’ (medieval black metal!) via Morke’s upcoming To Carry On and finally, sludge-laden, raw atmospheric black metal from Wales of all places in incognito-solo-artist The Sorrow Of Being Immaculate’s Suicide Forest. Most curious indeed, old bean!
