Metal’s newest superstars Spiritbox bring ambition and brutal emotion to London’s Roundhouse
A new wave of heavy music is currently having A Moment. Bring Me The Horizon have headlined both Download and Reading & Leeds festivals in the past twelve months while Architects’ stadium support stint with Metallica has been a passing of the heavy torch. Elsewhere Sleep Token’s poptastic take on the genre has swelled beyond their cult status, with the band selling out Wembley Arena in a matter of minutes while “satanic” metalheads Ghost are now as comfortable playing before Slipknot as they are Halsey and Blur. At the other end of the scale, buzzy acts like Static Dress, Heriot, Pupil Slicer, Scowl and Militarie Gun are continuing to push the genre forward, bringing a new generation into the world of heavy music.
