Leave It Alone by deadPEASNTS drifts through a dreamy, slightly off-kilter indie space, where acoustic warmth meets hazy synth textures and psychedelic undertones. The vocals feel intimate and close, almost confessional, while the melody quietly anchors the track as it moves through its more unconventional structure. There’s a gentle tension between clarity and blur, grounding and drift, giving the song a reflective, late-night feel.
Subtle but emotionally rich, it’s a piece that reveals more the deeper you sit with it.
Militarie Gun have shared a new video for their sensational track ‘Kick’ ahead of a big Summer on the road.
The band recently played a headline tour across the UK, and much of the footage used in the video for the track is from that very run. The song itself is classic MG ambition: huge hooks, menacing intent, and enough heart and soul to fill a lake.
From making their way around Camden Town in a black cab to taking over one of London’s many luscious green spaces, the clip sums up what a special connection the band have with the other side of the Atlantic. A place that welcomes them as one of their own, and loves their music with every fibre of their being.
The track is taken from the band’s recent album ‘God Save The Gun’, which is out now via Loma Vista Recordings.
The band recently performed a whole host of tracks from the record for NPR’s Tiny Desk Concert. Have a watch for yourself, it is absolutely ace.
Militarie Gun will be making their way around the world in the coming months for a whole load of festivals and shows. Here’s where you can catch them.

Wandering by Ezra Vancil carries a light, breezy charm, blending acoustic folk-rock with a subtle sense of reflection. There’s an easygoing flow to it, driven by warm guitars and a melody that feels both playful and thoughtful at once. Beneath its relaxed surface, though, sits that quiet tension of searching—of being caught between clarity and confusion, past and present. It moves like a slow, aimless walk, letting moments unfold naturally.
A warm, human track that feels effortless but quietly resonant.
Come Back Home by Derby Hill unfolds as an indie-folk treat, carried by a powerful melodic line that lingers long after it ends. The track balances warmth and emotional weight, with expressive vocals that feel both intimate and quietly commanding. There’s a natural flow to it—nothing overworked—just a steady build that lets the melody and feeling take the lead. Honest and engaging, it’s the kind of song that draws you in gently and keeps you there.
There are few bands that have the tenacity, consistency and enduring appeal than Immolation. The New York death metal legends have stuck to their guns throughout their entire career never wavering from their vision and releasing some of the most timeless and influential death metal committed to tape from their 1991 debut “Dawn Of Possession” to seething malevolent death metal assaults such as 2000’s “Close To A World Below”, 2010’s “Majesty And Decay” and 2017’s “Atonement”.
With their twelfth album “Descent”, the band continue their path of dissonant and twisted death metal which manages to be equally atmospheric, malevolent and brutally heavy. Immolation goes completely on the attack with songs such as ‘These Vengeful Winds’, ‘The Ephemeral Curse’ and the crushing title track being relentless, supercharged blasts of death metal glory whilst the band’s more atmospheric side comes out in songs such as ‘God’s Last Breath’, ‘Attrition’ and ‘Host’ which, whilst equally as aggressive as anything else on the album, slows the pace somewhat bringing a far more brooding and sinister feel to the music. The most leftfield song on the album is the instrumental ‘Banished’ which sees Immolation in pure atmospheric form with sinister guitars, strings and atmospheric synths.
The same line up remains that has been for the last ten years and is a well oiled machine with this being the third Immolation album recorded by this line up. The guitar team of Robert Vigna and Alex Bouks unleash a cacophony of crushing and unsettling riffs and some slick solos. Steve Shalaty on the drums unleashes hell with his ferocious blast beats and double kick attacks threatening the structural integrity of your home whilst Ross Dolan unleashes low end attacks with his bass playing and his unmistakable roar which is a weapon of vocal destruction.
“Descent” is another masterclass in death metal from one of the most reliable and consistent bands in the game. Immolation manage to sound old school enough to please the veteran fans but also contemporary enough to capture a younger audience. The sound on “Descent” is equally violent, atmospheric, vast and malevolent. Whilst you generally know what you are getting with an Immolation album, the band shows that they still have a few tricks up their sleeves 37 years in and have no plans on sitting comfortably and becoming just a veteran act. Immolation remain to be one of the essential bands in death metal.
