Watch the band at their EP launch show with From Sorrow To Serenity and Within Destruction, at London's Boston Music Room on June 02nd.

Hailing from Oxford, UK, A TRUST UNCLEAN have quickly made their mark on the UK death metal scene with their own brand of groovy, technical death metal, performed with sheer precision. This is a band that brings fun back into live music, via explosive riffs delivered with a smile. Receiving praise from Metal Injection, MetalSucks, Terrorizer, Metal Hammer and more, A TRUST UNCLEAN are fast becoming one of the most exciting young UK death metal groups.

The quintet released their critically acclaimed EP Reality Relinquished in August 2015 which was received tremendously amongst press and fans alike. Following a successful UK tour with Osiah the band went on to share stages with the likes of Aversions Crown, Rings Of Saturn, Black Tongue and Ne Obliviscaris, as well as performing at UK Tech Metal Fest with bands such as Decapitated, Heart Of A Coward, Monuments and many more.
 
After unfortunately parting ways with their vocalist Joe and drummer Scott in late 2016 during the writing process of their new release Parturition (translates to the act of giving birth), the band have since recruited Kyle Lamb on vocals and Noah Plant on drums. With the line-up now stronger than ever, A TRUST UNCLEAN have undergone a fresh start, a re-birth, and are ready and determined to take their new music as far and wide as possible.

Metal/hardcore five-piece Death Remains and tech metallers BEAR have announced a co-headline tour, which will see them bring their chaotic live shows to venues across the UK.

Both bands will be touring in support of their latest releases: Death Remains released their latest album Destroy/Rebuild on Transcend Music, whilst BEAR released their new album /// via Basick Records earlier this year. 

Dates for the tour are as follows:

09/07/2017 - Newark, Tech-Fest (BEAR only)
10/07/2017 - Edinburgh, Opium
11/07/2017 - Glasgow, Nice N Sleazy
12/07/2017 - Stoke, The Exchange
13/07/2017 - Birmingham, Subside

Death Remains' classic metalcore inspirations are very much apparent; hints of August Burns Red and Killswitch Engage form the foundation, however the grooves of Korn and Deftones also shine through, and the band’s melodic sensibility can be likened to Funeral For A Friend and Saosin. Bringing all this together, Death Remains have created something new, fresh and incredibly moreish with their latest album Destroy/Rebuild.

Check out the band's latest single 'Hardships' here

BEAR's critically acclaimed release /// is their most evocative and vitriolic album to date, comprising of 11 blistering tracks of crushingly heavy rhythms, distorted harmonies and demonic growls. Bearing resemblance to tech metal forerunners Meshuggah and the no-nonsense aggression of The Dillinger Escape Plan, BEAR exude a stylistic chaotic quality which stands them head and shoulders above their peers.

Check out the video for their latest single 'Blackpool' here:

As vital as they’ve ever been – if not more so in the world's current climate - HACKTIVIST are back. They return with new vocalist and brother-in-arms Jot Maxi, following the amicable departure of Ben Marvin, and are set to take on the main stage at Download Festival. 

To celebrate HACKTIVIST have released a new version of Outside The Box’s grimecore standout 'Rotten', which featured Jot himself, titled '2 Rotten'.

Check out the video here: 

“2 Rotten is a strong enough platform for Jot to show the world what he's all about,” says guitarist / producer Timfy James. "Jot has brought many different new qualities to the mix – new and exciting flows, song concepts and general craziness. He fits in well, almost like he's always been there. What does the future hold? Expect filth and fire coming your way.”

"I remember seeing J [Hurley, Hacktivist co-frontman] on a night out and him telling me they'd just started a next-level new band,” adds Jot. "Once I'd met the rest of the guys there was talk about a collaboration and eventually I wrote the bars for the first version of Rotten. The rest is history really, it worked so well that when Ben announced he was leaving we all mutually felt it was only natural that I'd be the one to step in."

'2 Rotten' follows HACKTIVIST's Over-Throne EP, debut album Outside The Box (both 2016) and 2013’s self-titled EP. New music is coming. Be ready.

10/06/2017 - Donington Park, Download Festival (main stage)

Belgian tech metallers BEAR have released a frenzied, heaving hulk of a video for their intense track 'Blackpool' which was shot at their /// album release show in Kavka, Antwerp on March 25th 2017. 

Check out the video here:

Comments bass player Dries Verhaert: "'Everyone who has seen BEAR live knows that we bring the hammer! We go hard. That's why we thought it's time to release a visual statement of that. The proof is in the pie so take a bite out of this chunk of mayhem. We present to you: BLACKPOOL!'"

'Blackpool' is taken from BEAR's current critically acclaimed release ///, their most evocative and vitriolic album to date, comprising of 11 blistering tracks of crushingly heavy rhythms, distorted harmonies and demonic growls. Bearing resemblance to tech metal forerunners Meshuggah and the no-nonsense aggression of The Dillinger Escape Plan, BEAR exude a stylistic chaotic quality which stands them head and shoulders above their peers. 

The band are set for a busy summer with festivals already confirmed and a tour to be announced shortly.
