Review: Crossfaith – Wipeout
Wipeout is the third in a series of EPs Crossfaith have brought us since 2016's New Age Warriors. While the reappearing narrative of the future dominates the record, Wipeout sees the band stray only slightly from their melting pot of electronica, hardcore, nu metal and metalcore.

However I had an idea of what was to come - an evening of head-crushing, double-peddling, wall-of-deathing splendour. There was all of this in spades! First on the … Continue reading Crossfaith / The One Hundred / Counting Days – The Haunt, Brighton (18th March 2016)
