VIDEO OF THE WEEK – GUSH
We first came across this Belfast alt/post-grunge combo ten months ago – and lo, just #LikeThat, seemingly just a heartbeat and a hiccough after the subsequent release of their reflective debut EP, here we have brand new material from a band who are making themselves increasingly hard to ignore on the Northern Ireland scene.

VIDEO OF THE WEEK – THE NIGHT FLIGHT ORCHESTRA
We seem to be devoting a healthy chunk of our coverage to this Swedish AOR revivalist supergroup – which is perhaps not surprising as they have just dropped a new album AND kicked off what by their standards is a fairly extensive European tour.

VIDEO OF THE WEEK – DECREPIT YOUTHS
There is certainly nothing decrepit about the work rate displayed by this north-eastern alt-rock quartet, but they certainly have plenty of youthful enthusiasm, as they have released no fewer that six singles over the course of the past two years.

VIDEO OF THE WEEK – O.R.k.
Monk’s latest choice is a true visual treat, as well as an audio one of course, as this prog rock amalgamation of the talents of ex-Porcupine Tree bassist Colin Edwin and King Crimson’s Pat Mastelotto round out their busy year with the final instalment of a triptych of single releases to preface the arrival of their latest album early in the new year.

VIDEO OF THE WEEK: AVANTASIA
Our latest audio-visual treat well and truly lives up to that description, as it is real treat, especially for the eyes, and comes courtesy of one of the true standard bearers of the Teutonic power metal genre, the maestro known as Tobias Sammet, who is summoning and welcoming us into his very own #Creepshow:

VIDEO OF THE WEEK: AFTER TASTE
Our latest audio-visual selection is a suitably dark and dense descent into the depths of despair coloured by the foreboding shadows of gothic, industrial and doom metal, courtesy of these very cheery (sic) Dutch chappies:
