Rescue & Restore is a dove with singed wings, then--a monument more to what metalcore should be than what it all too often is. [29 Jun 2013, p.53]- Kerrang!

With only the occasional chorus in English, singing along is tricky for us gaijin, but melodically these might be Rivers' catchiest songs since The Green Album. That makes this a hit in anyone's language. [25 May 2013, p.53]- Kerrang!

It's far from bad. Sadly, though, Everblack's also far from The Black Dahlia Murder at their best. [8 Jun 2013, p.54]- Kerrang!

Yes, it ultimately makes for predictable stuff, but Black Star Riders play bullshit-free unpretentious rock. [15 Jun 2013, p.54]- Kerrang!

The resulting shift in sound not only suits Lemuria, it sets them apart from the indie pack. [15 Jun 2013, p.54]- Kerrang!

Like Clockwork may have been wrought from turmoil, what it delivers is the sound of Queens Of The Stone Age back at the top of their game. [15 Jun 2013, p.54]- Kerrang!

It'll be too sappy for anyone who likes their rock raw, but if simpler pleasures tickle your pickle, there are few bands in this sphere pulling it off as expertly as the veteran Buffalo trio. [8 Jun 2013, p.54]- Kerrang!

What emerges from the new City And Colour album, then, is the sound of a man with frailties who makes sense of it all through song. [1 Jun 2013, p.54]- Kerrang!

Under Brian Sella's smartypants lyrics and eye-catching admissions is a beating heart and a rare honesty. [1 Jun 2013, p.53]- Kerrang!

In its eight track, Ozzy, Tony, and bassist Geezer Butler have managed to once again capture that special essence which makes them so magical. And it's bloody fantastic. [1 Jun 2013, p.52]- Kerrang!

Very occasionally, they come a school uniform away from actually impersonating their forefathers, but it's a formula they execute wit the same kick-ass conviction that earned them support slots with Iron Maiden. [18 May 2013, p.53]- Kerrang!
