  • Burning Up With DAN MARSALA From STORY OF THE YEAR

    Burning Up With DAN MARSALA From STORY OF THE YEAR
    Feb 21 2026
    U.S rock/metal outfit Story Of The Year exploded onto the scene with their groundbreaking debut Page Avenue, one of the first albums of its kind to sell over a million copies.
    The breakout single “Until the Day I Die” quickly became both an enduring anthem and a mission statement for the band. What began as four friends working in a St. Louis pizza joint evolved into a movement, connecting deeply with fans through every era. From Page Avenue (2003) to In the Wake of Determination (2005), The Black Swan (2008), The Constant (2010), Wolves (2017), and Tear Me to Pieces (2023) the band, comprised of Dan Marsala, Ryan Phillips, Josh Wills, and Adam Russell, has delivered a signature blend of melodic aggression, raw vulnerability, and anthems built to scream along to in the dark.
    And, fans will be pleased to confirm, Story Of The Year are back bigger and better with A.R.S.O.N., marking the next evolution of the band's signature sound and raw, personal lyricism - elements that have earned the band a dedicated global following. An acronym for “All Rage, Still Only Numb,” the album channels their trademark energy into a powerful exploration of anxiety, emotional turmoil and inner darkness. With a dynamic blend of modern post-hardcore, polished production, and nods to their emo roots, A.R.S.O.N. delivers a compelling, storied sonic journey through the fight of Story Of The Year to make it through this life.
    HEAVY recently caught up with vocalist/drummer Dan Marsala to find out more, running through our review of the album track by track and listening to his thoughts on our thoughts...

  • Memoirs Of A Metal Warrior With DAVID GUNN From KING 810

    Memoirs Of A Metal Warrior With DAVID GUNN From KING 810
    Feb 21 2026
    Hailing from America's Rust Belt, hardened nu-metal underdogs KING 810 have built a towering sonic reputation around themes of poverty, crime and the real-world experiences linked to their hometown of Flint, Michigan. Unleashing their debut album Memoirs of a Murderer in 2014, KING 810's maiden LP reached #18 on the Billboard Top Hard Rock Albums charts and #8 on the Billboard Top Heatseekers charts, with the group since forging their own path as an independent band through numerous albums.
    Earlier this year, KING 810 unveiled two palpitating releases, Rustbelt Nu Metal and K7 Rustbelt Nu Metal 2, with both LPs captured in front of a live audience in compelling and rambunctious fashion, and a promised third album in the Rustbelt series still yet to come.
    A band renowned for never holding back when it comes to their performances, KING 810 surge with chaos and intensity in a live setting, balanced with raw catharsis and an unwavering audience connection driven by lead vocalist David Gunn. And while often perceived as controversial due to the reality of their lives spent growing up on the streets of a deeply troubled city, the band's balance of heavy discomfort and spiritual insight has led to them becoming seasoned festival performers, with the likes of Download Festival, Rock am Ring in their wake, along with their own acclaimed headline shows and sharing stages with many of the scene's elite, including Korn, Slipknot and Alpha Wolf.
    Previously appearing at the final edition of Soundwave in 2015, KING 810 also most recently toured Australia in 2024, supporting In Hearts Wake, with Everblack Media noting of their Brisbane support slot: "for a band who has not been to Australia in over 10 years, they certainly got a warm welcome back with the crowd moshing to every song". But in 2026, it's headline prime-time for the ferocious quartet; and KING 810 will not be pulling any punches.
    HEAVY spoke with Gunn to find out more.

  • Evolution Through Revolution With MIKEY ARTHUR From THE GLOOM IN THE CORNER

    Evolution Through Revolution With MIKEY ARTHUR From THE GLOOM IN THE CORNER
    Feb 18 2026
    A whole new world of inventive, insidious and infectious metalcore awaits in 2026, with Melbourne's The Gloom In The Corner -- Mikey Arthur (vocals), Jesse Abdurazak (guitar), Paul Musolino (bass) and Joshua Clinch (drums) -- on the cusp of releasing their third full-length album Royal Discordance, due out on Friday 27 February via SharpTone Records.
    A record that could readily soundtrack an Anime epic, a Netflix smash series, or a sprawling open-world game, Royal Discordance is certainly not your average metalcore album. An action-packed opus hell-bent on sharp narratives and astonishing sonic dexterity, Royal Discordance journeys between an all-out onslaught (previous single Assassination Run) through to cinematic-yet-sinister brutality on Nope (Hollow Point Elysium), grinning chaotic frenzy on You Didn't Like Me Then (You Won't Like Me Now), and a double closing sucker punch via the two-track suite Love 1: A Quaver Through the Pale and Love 2: A Walk Amongst The Poppy Fields.
    HEAVY caught up with Mikey Arthur to find out more.
