Music critics beware, is it safe to review the new Metallica album yet? Fans, are you sure that is a legitimate copy of the album? Bolt the doors, Lars Ulrich is coming for you.
It's quite a new experience for a metal album to be actually scary, and all without listening to a single chord. Elsewhere, we're excited about the debut album from Scotland's Glasvegas, tying with Frightened Rabbit for a place in the 'new Scotch music' department of our hearts.
The metal behemoths return with their ninth studio album, just as they ran out of tracks to lease to Guitar Hero / Rock Band.
A little bit sparkly, a little bit Scottish. Debut album from the northern band with their hearts in the right place; their songs.
Along with Glasvegas, the second band this week to feature a portmanteau as a band name. These boys put the Mariachi back into rock music. Which we guess makes it Marirockchi.
The Holy Pictures is DJ/producer David Holmes's fourth studio album. Best known for his acclaimed work on blockbuster soundtracks such as 'Ocean's Eleven' and 'Out Of Sight'.
Three brand new tracks from Britain's greatest pioneers of post-rock.
Icelandic singer/songwriter who is neither Bjork nor a member of Sigur Ros.
With a name like that, who needs criticism. Proud owners of songs by the title of "Trust Rhymes With Crust" and "Why the English are Rubbish". I think the former answers the latter.
Prolific Colarado based artist which is often barely more than a solo project.
The second offering from the 'Broken Social Scene Presents:' series, in which members of the Toronto collective solo albums with the help of their bandmates.
Anti-folk hero famed for being one half of the Mouldy Peaches and taking up a large proportion of the 'Juno' soundtrack.
The first live album by brother and sister indie rock duo The Fiery Furnaces featuring tracks from all of their previous album. Recorded while on tour during 2005 and 2007.
Americana/Alt. Country performer mixes and borrows from many genres to create his narrative driven slices of twisted rural life.
A third of the greatest ever British pop-band Bis. Amanda MacKinnon goes pseudonymy for her debut album.
Remember to duck and cover folks!
Brought to you from the shores of Cornwall. Like anything good ever came from there. I mean, Thirteen Senses!
Third album from the side project of Anthony Green. Legendary for their fast and loose approach to genre pigeon-holing.
Canadian indie-rock from twin sisters Sari and Romy Lightman.
Sunny folk-rock from the golden sands of California.
Being named after the Japanese term for a highly-respected prophetess scores you class points. Being on a record label called 'Plop' promptly loses them all.
The Evpatoria Report are a Swiss post-rock band. They have played with bands such as Red Sparowes, The Appleseed Cast and Mono.
Female duo blues rock. Think Black Keys by way of the Kills.
Six tracks of dissonant drone and ambient from Washington via New York.
Through droning repetition and the unmistakable hiss and clip of four track cassette, a warm and engrossing atmosphere develops. These songs are buoyed by melodies that are at once sad and hopeful... apparently.
Populous isn't just a fantastic computer game. It's also a terrific shoegaze band from Lecce, Italy. Fronted by Andrea Mangia, Populous' third album treads a thin line between pop greatness and shoegaze pomposity.
The 120th release from Omaha's Saddle Creek, Someone Else's Deja Vu is the third studio album from Omaha's Son, Ambulance.
Seriously heavy Grindcore brought to you from the members of Thursday and Glassjaw. We don't just mean the drummers either. Although we do want the burning Beatles album cover back, damn copyright laws.
