Spring is here! Kind of, anyway - the days certainly seem to be getting brighter, even if the weather hasn't quite settled down yet. With another big release landing on the decks this week - that'd be Into Oblivion by this month's Hammer cover stars Lamb Of God - it feels like we're well and truly into the meat of 2026 now, meaning it'll only get more hectic from here.
So first, the results of last week's vote! Welsh reggae-metal stars Skindred proved popular as ever as they took a healthy third place in the poll, while returning alt. metal/core heroes As Everything Unfolds took second place. But our overall winner for the week were black metal godfathers Venom, Lay Down Your Soul tapping into the primordial nastiness that helped spawn metal's most evil subgenre in the first place.
