LIAM’S LISTENING ROOM [7/3/2025]

Hi all, and welcome to my listening room, a (potentially/hopefully) weekly column on what my listening habits have been throughout the week and hopefully a good way to direct our viewers to what I think is the best new music around, as well as maybe some other bands that might have been missed by some. This wasnโ€™t my idea to do, but as someone who loves discovering, learning and listening to new things I feel this is a perfect outlet for me to talk about the stuff I love, mainly because whenever I try to speak passionately about the music I love, aside from a specific few people, my passion goes straight over their heads and I end up feeling like a plum!

OPINION PIECE: SOMETHING NEEDS TO CHANGE IN METAL/ROCK JOURNALISM

The media outlets will argue, well we post and write about this stuff because thatโ€™s what people engage with, but itโ€™s almost all negative, whether it is people arguing over whether Sleep Token is the next big thing, how much they hate the latest Ghost single, or a falling out between the members of Journey. ย But this negative content is pretty much all they write about, and itโ€™s to win at algorithms and not contribute anything substantial to heavy music, or even the debate. They pander to the angry, not the interested.
