Just to let you guys know, Issue One coverboys The Red Shore have their new album, The Avarice Of Man, streaming in its entirety on the band’s MySpace. I’ve heard the album and it’s pretty fucking good!

The album will be streaming until Thursday, with the actual album released in stores on Friday September 3rd.

So go to the MySpace, check it out and if you have a particularly strong opinion on it, shoot us an email to let us know what you think.

Don’t forget that The Red Shore are touring this December with Despised Icon and Thy Art Is Murder. Tickets are onsale now, so head over here for all the dates and ticketing information.

If you were hoping to see The Ghost Inside but didn’t want to brave the crowds to see them with Parkway, you will be pleased to note that this Californian quintet will be playing a couple of select sideshows from the tour in Sydney and Melbourne.

On Tuesday Sept 28 they play the Sandringham Hotel in Newtown with Relentless and Hand Of Mercy. On Thursday Sept 30 they play Next in Melbourne with Lovers Grave and Feed Her To The Sharks.

We promised and we have delivered.

And then next up there is a new one from Cancer Bats. When I saw these guys a few years ago at the Annandale it ruled so hard. I can’t wait to check them out again! So catch them either on tour with Bullet For My Valentine and Bring Me The Horizon, or at one of their sideshows!

Easily the biggest Hardcore export this country has ever seen, Parkway Drive are back in the charts with new album Deep Blue and gracing our cover with some exclusive photos and an extensive interview about all things Parkway Drive.

We caught up with veteran metalcore pioneers Shai Hulud, while they were making their way round the country on their second Australian tour for a staggeringly honest and amazing interview – a must read to be sure. Ruiner are heaving their final death rattle and the interview in these pages (their last Australian interview ever) reveals some of the tensions and difficulties in the band.

Add to this Refused, Unearth, the infamous Michael Crafter talking about his band Confession, Sydney up-and-comers Reality, a Quickfire with Goatwhore and Canberra’s Vera, and a re-cap of the 11th Annual Hardcore Festival. There’s also an Obituary on the universally adored Fugazi, an all-Australian Bands You’ve Never Heard Of and all the usual reviews and childish banter.

Championed by critics, fans and peers alike as one of the finest UK metal/hardcore acts of their generation, Brighton, England quintet ARCHITECTS have got the moves and the riffs. Syncopated to a sickeningly tight level of perfection delivered with precision and absolute gut-wrenching rage, their live show is a force to be reckoned with. “Vocalist Sam Carter leaps around the stage like a man possessed, roaring, shrieking and splicing brutality with sublime melody within the space of a single song. No gimmicks here.” – Rock Metal Music

All great things have humble beginnings and COMEBACK KID is no exception. Since forming in 2002 they have turned into one of the most infectious forces in independent music today. Following the departure of Scott Wade in 2007 implementing a new vocal sound can prove disastrous for some bands but not so with the spectacular arrival of Andrew Neufeld… “embrace this new incarnation with open arms and clenched fists in the air”. – Absolute Punk

Stirring you to charge around in a circle like a maniac and clenching your fists, THIS IS HELL are genuine and uncontrived hardcore. As one of the most talked about bands on Soundwave earlier this year be sure not to miss what Punknews describes as “unrelentingly dissonant yet throat-punchingly direct, THIS IS HELL is a prime band to watch.”

A killer triple bill of potent hardcore supremacy, ARCHITECTS, COMEBACK KID and THIS IS HELL are touring Australia this December.
