Okay, okay – we’re a little late on this one. The Defiled actually released this video to ‘The Resurrectionts’ –  one of the centrepiece tracks from their excellent 1888 EP – last weekend. We just failed to mention it because we’ve either a) been out of the country, b) been moving house, and c) have [...]

Let’s just get straight down to business: the almighty Canuck quartet, Cancer Bats, have released a video to their actually-pretty-fucking-awesome cover of the Beastie Boys’ ‘Sabotage’.

We caught up with Lostprophets frontman Ian Watkins in London ahead of the 18 January release of their new album, The Betrayed for a chat. Lee Gaze was in the room as well but we didn’t really talk to him. Not a snub! Honest!
