For fans of parkway Drive, Whitechapel, As I Lay Dying •

AFTER THE BURIAL’s highly acclaimed sophomore album, Rareform, hinted •

at their true potential, but In Dreams brings all of their combined talents

to fruition. The disc opens with a freight train of brutality and sheer brute

in this never-ending array of intensity. This is essentially a roller coaster of

unconventionality, so strap yourself in tight and prepare for a wild ride. In

This release is the first in a series of re-mastered reissues from the band’s back catalogue. •

On Sean Rowe’s forthcoming ANTI- debut, Magic, the singer turns his rich, unnerving baritone to a moment of •

childhood innocence. Rowe’s deep, magical voice is nothing if not wise and experienced; he knows full well that after

the innocence comes the fall. This ability to conjure dueling emotions – the elation of childhood versus the bruising of

real life – marks the arrival of a skilled lyricist and songwriter, in the tradition of Van Morrison and Leonard cohen.
