Review: Porcupine Tree made a fine comeback in early November with their 'Harridan' single. It was well received and certainly lived up to the band's reputation for being one of the UK's most forward-thinking, genre-defying outfits. That was their first new music in 12 years and now comes their album Closure/Continuation. It is a grand statement that is presented here as a deluxe version with an album artwork booklet and a Blu-Ray boxset. It is packed with their definitive and singular take on progressive rock from front to back.

Review: Manchester based, all girl, self-proclaimed doom-grunge outfit, Witch Fever, are set to finally drop their debut full-length, 'Congregation', this October (right in time for Halloween). Built around thundering riffs, sultry, twisted atmospherics and an incomparable wall of sound style trudge, evoking the ethereal post-punk of Warpaint by way of Soundgarden, the project is already hotly tipped to be one of the breakout releases of 2022. Frontwoman Amy Walpole's cavernous, shrill vocals are as haunting as they are lush, while the cryptic, horror-inspired lyrics and utterly massive production promise one of the most vital, dynamic, and unaccommodating debuts from the grunge, punk, or alternative rock spectrums, this decade has proverbed thus far.
