  • ANN WILSON To Tour Australia

    Ann Wilson has announced an Australian tour capped off with a very special show at the GABBA.

  • Excide don’t want to be Turnstile or Knocked Loose. They want to create something new: “Post-hardcore just meant trying new and different things.”

    Hardcore‘s rise over the last half-decade has happened for many reasons, but one of the most pertinent is young musicians remembering that this is a genre that needs to evolve and be experimented with.

    “Post-hardcore just meant hardcore guys trying new and different things,” shrugs Excide frontman Tyler Washington. “We definitely come from that lineage and ideology.”

    You’ll hear that loud and clear when you stick on Excide’s second album, Bastard Hymns. It’s a superb slice of pounding hardcore, but peppered throughout with odd, angular time signatures and huge swathes of grungy, alt rock melody.

    Snapcase showed me that you can make hardcore weird.

    Tyler Washington

    For fans of forward-thinking heavy music, this is a real gem. Tyler namechecks Quicksand, Failure, Fugazi and others as influences, but there’s one band that stands above them all.

    “For me, it all started with finding [cult 90s New York hardcore band] Snapcase,” Tyler says of his biggest inspiration. “The lyrical content is super-positive, but it still has that poetic element. It showed me that you can make hardcore weird. We try and do that: rip a power chord and then throw a little pinkie out there and it just makes it… sort of strange.”

    Considering the success of pioneering peers such as Turnstile and Knocked Loose, it’s not outside the realms of possibility that Excide could follow their lead. But Tyler states that as much as he’s pleased for them, he’s happy to stay in his own, idiosyncratic lane.

    “Seeing those huge shows Turnstile do is awesome, so I’m not diminishing anyone’s achievements at all,” he begins. “But I’ve been in this scene and making this music since I was 15. I know I’ll be doing the same thing until I just can’t anymore. The ambition comes not from achieving success, but from connecting with people with our unique music.”

    SOUNDS LIKE: A fantastic amalgam of 90s alt rock heroes Failure’s melody with Every Time I Die’s knack for a killer riff

  • “We’ll Be the First to Go!” — Stockholm Goth Rockers Then Comes Silence Line up for “Judgement Day”

    For Swedish post-punk and goth rock stalwarts Then Comes Silence, songwriting works best when it carries a little danger in its coat pocket, along with a nightclub flyer, a bent cigarette, and perhaps the phone number of somebody your mother warned you about. On Judgement Day, the Stockholm trio take that instinct and feed it through a bright synth opening that sounds almost indecently cheerful before the floor gives way beneath it.

    The melody initially suggests a lost continental dance hit, polished enough to wander into an airport lounge without being questioned. Then Alex Svenson’s voice enters, carrying the moral weight of a man reading names from a very unpleasant guest list, while Jonas Fransson’s drums and Hugo Zombie’s guitar tighten the track into a stern, muscular march. Clan of Xymox, Killing Joke, and The Chameleons provide useful reference points, though Then Comes Silence retain their own heavy-footed grandeur, where every bass note seems dressed for a funeral, and every hook reads like a majestic elegy for the human race.

    “This song is about failure, bad decisions and poor behaviour – those who will be the first in line on doomsday,” the band explains. The humor—or perhaps the confession—resides in the arrangement. By featuring an almost alien electronic motif at the outset, the trio playfully embeds their own musical misbehavior, all while enjoying the process. Then Comes Silence greet the end with a crooked smile, loosening goth’s funeral tie and sparing Judgement Day the pallbearer solemnity so often mistaken for depth.

    Director Damon Zurawski of Future Legends Films places the band among dancers drawn from the gothic scene, creating a performance video that feels communal without sanding down the song’s severity. Svenson commands the center with bass in hand, Fransson drives from behind the kit, and Zombie cuts through the room with economical force. The dancers supply movement, personality, and proof that black clothing contains more shades than most paint stores.

    Watch the video for Judgement Day below:

    Judgement Day introduces Requiem Ballroom, due out on November 20th. The album follows 2024’s Trickery, a record Classic Rock described as “the post-punk influence of Bauhaus or Joy Division offset by an ’80s windblown, cinematic sense of drama presented with silky production and confidence.” Vive Le Rock concurred, remarking on its “huge, spectral sound that cascades the post-punk genres seamlessly whilst delivering a unique and compelling sound that is as captivatingly gripping as it is intense.”

    After years of stages shared with Fields of the Nephilim, Clan of Xymox, Chameleons, and A Place to Bury Strangers, Then Comes Silence sound firmly in possession of their machinery. Judgement Day turns failure into propulsion, poor behavior into choreography, and doomsday into a club night worth attending before the lights come up and the bill inevitably comes due at dawn.

    Then Comes Silence are on tour in mainland Europe in August and September, including an appearance at the M’era Luna Festival in Hildesheim, Germany on 9th August. Further info and tickets for all shows can be found HERE.
