A little under three years ago, Employed to Serve pulled up at the Forest National Arena in Belgium for the first stop of a tour across Europe opening for Gojira. Looming above them was the biggest non-festival venue they’d ever played, with 8,000 fans soon baying for their metalcore anthems. For a band more accustomed to levelling clubs, what was going through their minds as they laid eyes on the enormous building?

Though it remains a divisive record,  Deafheaven’s ‘Infinite Granite’ might be remembered in time as a worthwhile experiment. The blackgaze pioneers sanded down their spiky edges into something softer and fuzzier – less ‘black’, more ‘gaze’ – and came the closest they’ve ever come to sounding genuinely soothing. But if it would be wrong to call ‘Lonely People With Power’ a return to form it is a restating of purpose: here they are back to sounding lethal yet beautiful and, crucially, heavy.

‘Rushmere’ has a lot riding on it. It’s Mumford & Sons’ first album as a trio following the  departure of Winston Marshall and frontman Marcus Mumford’s confessional 2022 solo debut, but it also sees them return to their roots. The question is: can they still muster the magic that sent them to the top of the indie-folk mountain?
