After three years of silence, Atreyu are back. If you’ve never heard of Atreyu there is only one description for them that comes to mind, from years ago. “Atreyu is too goth to be emo, too metal to be punk, and too brazenly emotional to be metal” Three weeks ago they announced their second album […]

I had fully intended to do a Christmas tune for this. I’ve been on Christmas overdrive for the past week. I love the season. I’m not one of those degenerates who cheapens the holidays by starting to decorate in November, but as soon as December 1st rolls around, my tree goes up and the little […]

I would usually be doing a write up for some anime opening theme but since this band just rocked my socks off last weekend I must give them a shout out. Ever since their newest album The Stage dropped (dropping after they announced their gig) I have been replaying this song in particular even though the […]

‘Karate’ is taken from BABYMETAL’s second studio album Metal Resistance. The metal idol band made up of Suzuka Nakamoto, Yui Mizuno and Moa Kikuchi have exploded onto the international scene and are making headway on mainstream music listeners. Thanks in part to their recent appearance on the Late Show and host Stephen Colbert. Still not sure what to make of the band? […]

Declan actually liked the song I chose yesterday so let’s go to the opposite end of the spectrum and choose something that’ll have him question why he lets me write for The Arcade. Yep, it’s Japanese avant-garde metallers Dir En Grey! ‘Sustain the Untruth’ is a fantastic song for the discerning metalhead, with sludgy guitars, […]

Time for some awesome metal with one of Japan’s biggest names, Coldrain! ‘The Revelation’ lifts a few tricks from Bring Me The Horizon’s playbook, with a similar use of ambient electronics mixed with pounding metalcore breakdowns that brought Bring Me The Horizon so much success with Sempiternal. Indeed, ‘The Revelation’ does sound similar to ‘Shadow […]

The mighty Deftones are back with new album Gore and to celebrate have given us a taste of what to expect on the new record. ‘Prayers/Triangles’ is the usual cacophony of sound we’ve come to expect from the band, with a gentle voice before a huge melody for the chorus that’s just soaring with singer […]

It’s certainly been a long time since I’ve written one of these columns and the amount of music that I want to show off and talk about is reaching critical mass. I’ve always liked doing these columns with a theme, rather than a disaparate collection of tracks I just happen to like that week. One […]

Metal music isn’t always on my playlist, in fact you’re only really going to find Babymetal these days. However, I can appreciate a good tune regardless of genre, especially when it’s a cover of one of my favourite opening theme songs ever! YouTuber J:STONE, accompanied by Nick Tuttle, turn their talents to the quintessential Pokémon track. […]
