SEE: Shots Fired – The Architect
Leeds metal/hardcore outfit Shots Fired have recently unleashed the video for their latest brutal offering, ‘The Architect’.

New Music: Anwai – Move Along
Atmospheric Swedish duo Anwai, aka Mons Lorenzen and Amadeus Rudolfsson, took the decision to lock themselves in a studio (presumably allowing themselves comfort and food/sleep breaks, but you never know with these electronic types) to record an album, with no outside distractions.

See: Prides release new video for Messiah
Prides are so good that they do everything twice. I’m not kidding. Their single ‘Out Of The Blue’ was released April 2013, then again in December 2014. ‘Higher Love’ has two music videos because the main one wasn’t ready in time and, sticking with that trend, ‘Messiah’ has been given a new lease of life with a …
