Gatecreeper – ‘An Unexpected Reality’ 13 January 2021 Words: Mark Green Hailing from Arizona, these chaps have already released numerous EP’s and albums since their inception in 2013. Previous album ‘Deserted‘ showcases their slow-death credentials, with an overwhelming nod to Obituary (and I love Obituary). Latest album ‘An Unexpected Reality‘ […]

AC/DC’s seventeenth full-length album is their first new music since 2014 and uses the same producer Brendan O’Brien that they used for their last album ‘Rock Or Bust’ and ‘Black Ice’ before that. Twelve new tracks, it’s the first record without Malcolm playing on it, but largely written by […]
