		<description><![CDATA[For the longest time emerging metal acts looked up to the Big 4. They either had the speed of Slayer, the technicality of Megadeth, the aggression of Anthrax, or the mainstream appeal of Metallica. These days, the best of the fresh meat are looking elsewhere for inspiration and thank God they are, because &#8216;Formshifter&#8217; is [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Following on from a taster single last year, Washington state’s Seven Horns, Seven Eyes release their full-length debut, ‘Throes of Absolution,’ a refreshingly soulful record in largely robotic and inanimate field. Despite a lofty, almost haughty, press pack from Century Media that stresses the Seattleites’ aversion to trends and genre pigeonholing, the obvious references to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We could probably argue for a while over where it all went wrong for Marilyn Manson. Maybe it was the world&#8217;s fault for not finding him shocking anymore; or maybe it was because he stopped utilising massively awesome riffs (Manson himself should listen to &#8216;Holy Wood&#8217; sometime) and replaced them with weak sounding synths.

		<description><![CDATA[I feel sorry for those who like their rock music handed to them. The mainstream stuff that our genre has to offer lately hasn&#8217;t been up to scratch. Hell, mainstream across the board is experiencing a lull right now. But if you&#8217;re like me and enjoy digging deep for your rock, you&#8217;ll know that right [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[For the uninitiated, Meshuggah are heavy. Not just Machine Head heavy; we&#8217;re talking kick-you-in-the-balls-and-you&#8217;re-gonna-like-it heavy. While, with their 8-stringed guitars, they may have inspired the tech-metal offshoot genre djent, Meshuggah themselves have much more in common with extreme metal and, at times, post-metal. Aptly named opener &#8216;I Am Colossus&#8217; just about demolishes everything in its [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The abdication of the throne in 2001 by Norwegian black metallers Emperor left a gaping hole within the realm of extreme metal. The trio went their separate ways, and after three successful records in five years with Zyklon, guitarist Samoth moved briefly on to Casey Chaos’ underwhelming Scum project before collaborating with fellow Scum member [...]]]></description>

Bassist David Ellefson is back amongst the cavalry after a decade-long absence for their ‘imaginatively’-titled thirteenth full-length release, and the result is one of the most impressive Megadeth [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[With their first visit to Scotland’s capital, Hammerfall [8] seemed intent on bringing their all. With the set opening with ‘Heeding The Call’ and also containing hits such as ‘Blood Bound’ and ‘Let The Hammer Fall,’ you can easily forgive the Swede’s for only managing to fit nine songs into their forty five minute time [...]]]></description>

A rambling introduction seems to misfire, but from there onwards [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Revolution Continues, or TRC as they are more commonly known, will release their new album ‘Bright Lights’ on August 8th. As one of the most hotly anticipated hardcore albums of recent years and a stunning live show, there was a lot of hope for this record. Unfortunately though, from around the 90-second mark the [...]]]></description>

The album marks a return to form for the band that brought the music world the massive hit ‘Kryptonite’ way back in 2000. The album opens with the title [...]]]></description>

The often awe-inspiring combination of thrash-esque brutality, stirring hardcore outlook and euphoric melodies was not only commonplace and popular at the time, but also executed [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[For Twin Atlantic, tonight&#8217;s gig is a celebration.

		<description><![CDATA[The Defiled are currently out on their first ever headline UK tour and earlier this week the “13-Lucky For Some” tour rolled into Glasgow, Scotland. Up first were local metal act Sintonic [4] who, from the start, were playing to the wrong type of crowd as they tried to play a thrash metal like set, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Having ditched two members and reinstalled the exclamation mark, Panic! at the Disco are back in the UK determined to prove they&#8217;re as exciting and relevant as they once were when they first hit our stereos back in 2005. You would think, for an established band, it would be easy to find a support band [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We Are the Ocean have certainly paid their dues when it comes to the live circuit. They list off everywhere in Glasgow they have played over the last couple of years, noting that they&#8217;ve played the Garage four times already, with this being their first time headlining. Unfortunately, the room is not quite as packed [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There’s always a strange atmosphere at a gig when a support band is drawing a larger audience than the headline act. This seems to be the case for Parkway Drive who positively raise the roof when Sam Carter merely mentions their name. First up though were The Devil Wears Prada (7) who do what they [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Through The Noise Tour, headlined by Comeback Kid, made its way to Glasgow for its only Scottish date. EspyRock were there to cover the tour. First up were Norwegian up-and-comers Social Suicide [7]. Unfortunately for them, the venue was still pretty empty when they took to the stage.
