Admittedly, they do occasionally disappear up their own collective backside, with too much noodling trying your patience, but their ambition and scope show no signs of diminishing. [10 Mar 2018, p.55]- Kerrang!

Overall you might have to go back to 1989's The Mind Is A Terrible Thing To Taste to find Ministry sounding quite as vital and engaged as they do here. [10 Mar 2018, p.55]- Kerrang!

Time Will Die is a hugely satisfying listen, with the longer songs in particular allowing the band free rein to indulge every experimental urge. ... This album sounds like a multi-part epic made up entirely of multi-part epics. And also, undoubtedly, like a career high. [3 Mar 2018, p.50]- Kerrang!

It's absurd, OTT stuff. But who wants anything else from Andrew W.K. [24 Feb 2018, p.51]- Kerrang!

Already legends, American Nightmare's iconic reputation should only be enhanced by this mighty return. [17 Feb 2018, p.52]- Kerrang!

Wait for Love sees them largely sticking with what worked last time. [24 Feb 2018, p.51]- Kerrang!

With Time & Space they've made a record that will blow minds as surely as it will elevate them from beyond an emboldened, resurgent and vital scene. [24 Feb 2018, p.50]- Kerrang!

It's 14 tracks of craziness to be embraced and shouted at the rafters. [10 Feb 2018, p.50]- Kerrang!

The pairing makes more and more sense everytime you listen to it, perfectly rounding off 37 minutes of bubbling, stoned fuzz. [3 Feb 2018, p.52]- Kerrang!

Light and breezy strummer Her majesty's Service occasionally reads like a string of Fallon-isms (rolling stones, a girl named Elsie, etc.), but it's blown away by the hulking brass of Sleepwalkers, which straddles the line between grandness and outrageousness perfectly. [10 Feb 2018, p.52]- Kerrang!

They're strutting along a tightrope without a downward glance here. [27 Jan 2018, p.50]- Kerrang!

Here you're thrilled by how refreshingly streamlined these songs are from the off. [20 Jan 2018, p.50]- Kerrang!

Their diesel-soaked biker rock is an uncomplicated joy. [13 Jan 2018, p.52]- Kerrang!

Occasionally one song simple bleeds into another. ... On the whole, however, Underworld bears the mark of a band redefining who they are and putting themselves back on steady footing after a wobble. [6 Jan 2018, p.52]- Kerrang!

Despite throwing some creative curveballs into the mix, Vale feels very much like the rue follow-up to Wretched And Divine, and sees Black Veil Brides writing their own myth once more. [13 Jan 2018, p.50]- Kerrang!

It's simple stuff, but it's as powerful and unstoppable as an avalanche. [6 Jan 2018, p.54]- Kerrang!

Danny's back where he belongs, and Asking Alexandria have returned with their boldest record yet. [2 Dec 2017, p.49]- Kerrang!

This young band sound so eerily similar Led Zeppelin, you wish they'd back off a little. [25 Nov 2017, p.52]- Kerrang!

It's a record that ignores its own decade-long mystique to work on being important on its own merit, through dazzling songcraft and the band's unrivaled ability to pull brightness from the most freakish and inharmonious junctures. [9 Dec 2017, p.51]- Kerrang!

From the embryonic ideas to the songs' live debuts, it's the ultimate insight into the birth of a world-conquering classic. [11 Nov 2017, p.52]- Kerrang!

An album that once again sees Wizard creating a new landscape with only the slightest adjustment. Yeah, it's more rock'n'roll, but it's still ultra-stoned, it's still ultra-heavy, and Electric Wizard still hate[s] you. [25 Nov 2017, p.51]- Kerrang!

It frequently feels like one of those remix albums where tinkering guests have tried too hard to put their own stamp on proceedings, resulting in curios that are momentarily interesting, but will never replace the established versions in your affections on your playlists. [11 Nov 2017, p.50]- Kerrang!

Propelled by Sergio Vega's springy bass, Walter Schreifels' effortless instantly recognisable vocal floats over everything. [11 Nov 2017, p.51]- Kerrang!

Five years since the release of All We Love We Leave Behind, you could argue this is more of the same and just another Converge album. Pitted against the best of the band's catalogue, though, this one holds its own. [4 Nov 2017, p.50]- Kerrang!
