Games, Brrraaains & A Head-Banging Life was in attendance at Bloodstock 2025 and spoke to Devilhusk.

We had a camera issue here, with the battery dying two minutes in (corrupting the file), forcing Brendan to quickly pull his phone out and video the rest. The audio is solid though!

Back with their sixth studio album, Signs of the Swarm continue to shed their slamming deathcore skin with ‘To Rid Myself of Truth’. Out on August 22nd, 2025, via Century Media Records.

Naturally evolving to have a more technical and progressive edge, while being as undeniably intense as ever, Signs of the Swarm hit a career high with this latest album and so much of why that is can be laid at the feet of vocalist David Simonich, who has taken a more personal approach on this record. Wearing his heart on his metaphorical sleeve, which creates a new kind of connection, and adds a freshness to the brutality of the album’s sound.

It's that, and so much more, that we chatted about with David in this interview. Digging into the details of it, as well as going in-depth with what the band achieved here, how they have reached this stage, David’s personal journey, the desire to play UK and European festivals next year (Bloodstock!), and so much more.

Founded by multi-instrumentalists Nicolò and Federico Vese, Italian progressive metal duo Asymmetric Universe has carved out a distinct space in the modern instrumental scene with a sound that seamlessly blends the aggressive intensity of metal with the rich harmonies and improvisational spirit of jazz fusion. Having emerged from a shared passion for composition and sonic exploration during their intense period of musical study nearly 10 years ago, the band now are set to release their debut album, A Memory And What Came After, via InsideOutMusic, on the 29th August 2025.

The album was mixed by Sebastian Sendon, with Adam “Nolly” Getgood also providing assistance with drum recording, which took place in the UK at Middle Farm Studios.

We pulled back the curtain on the creative journey that Nicolò and Federico Vese have been and the work that has gone into making A Memory And What Came After a reality, as well as so much more.

Progressive metalcore pioneers Born of Osiris released their brand-new album ‘Through Shadows’, on July 11th, via Sumerian Records.

Born of Osiris are back, more eclectic and electrifying than ever, and pushing their progressive metalcore sound in new directions. You can never accuse this band of stagnating, but even the most hardcore of fans will find themselves taken back by how much experimentation is going on here. Although that’s not to suggest that it isn’t evidently Born of Osiris and not filled with aggression, intensity, and brutish heaviness, because it is.

Bigger, bolder, better. That’s what Born of Osiris have delivered on this new album.

Check out our full review here: https://www.gbhbl.com/album-review-born-of-osiris-through-shadows-sumerian-records/

We spoke with drummer Cameron Losch about the new album, all the work that went into making a reality, the challenges, but also the moments of joy, of which there were many. We also talk about the continued evolution of Born of Osiris, how that has driven him to evolve too, and so much more.

Dosgamos are an Italian heavy metal band born in 2018 who have released two full-length studio albums to dare. Their debut ‘Wrapped Renaissance’ in 2022, and most recently, ‘On Day Seven He Regretted’. Released in 2025, mixed and mastered by Ronnie Björnström (Meshuggah, Aeon etc.), and released via WormHoleDeath.

The five-piece band (Michele Altavilla – Vocals, Vincenzo Moramarco – Guitar, Alessandro Parola – Guitar, Giulio Garibaldi – Bass, and Elia Dutto – Drums) have played live all across Europe and have a sound that can be summed up as a heavy combination of death and groove metal with technical twists.
