Christ has risen, and so too has metal. In the week after Easter, we’ve been undoubtedly spoilt by large-scale singles from across the heavy music spectrum. Superstars as wide-ranging as Linkin Park, Sleep Token, Ghost, Sabaton, Machine Head and Slaughter To Prevail have all offered some new treats for your earholes, as have underground players from Employed To Serve to Full Of Hell.
As impatient as we are to hop amidst the melee, first there’s the matter of which song you voted as the best of last week. Against stiff competition from the likes of Rivers Of Nihil, Cryptopsy, Blood Command and The Devil Wears Prada, it was Scottish punk’n’roll act Bratakus who stood tall. Congratulations!
