What remains constant is her unique blend of brilliant voice and incisive, authentic, deeply personal songwriting.Given her prolific output, more than twenty albums across nearly three decades, it is surprising that Gilmore is not more widely recognised. Her catalogue is rich, varied and often uncompromising, rooted in intimate storytelling…

Ghost are one of the biggest breakout metal bands of the last 15 years, rising from unknown Swedish occult metallers into arena-headlining sensations. Their third album, 2015’s Meliora, was a huge stepping stone for them, something Metal Hammer found out when we caught up with enigmatic representative Nameless Ghoul, aka Ghost mastermind Tobias Forge, at the time. Surely this can’t be right. Hammer is awaiting an audience with a Nameless Ghoul from the Swedish Devil-worshipping cult of Ghost, half-expecting to be blindfolded and ridden to the ruins of a deconsecrated church for a clandestine rendezvous with the masked and robed…

From an artistic perspective, Andy finds the idea of such things “for the sake of numbers to be pretty hollow”, even if he gets the maths on it. But in this case, there’s a deeper connection. “Robb was one of the first people in a respected metal band to go, ‘Hey, this band’s fucking awesome, and you guys are wrong about them,’” says Andy. “That was really revelatory for us, because all of a sudden we started getting kind of shit on in the U.S. press, and…

SIIICKBRAIN delivers FILTHY featuring Fetish. A tension-built release that pushes duality into a stripped, impact-first system.

Momentum is locked; the framework stays consistent.Directed by Afanasii Chavdarid, the visual mirrors the track’s volatility. High-speed drifting, industrial backdrops, and fire-led sequences build a chaos-controlled environment. Performance stays central, with both artists holding presence against a shifting, destructive frame.The setup runs contrast-first: restrained, close vocal delivery sits over booming 808s, creating space…
