I Am Giant -‘The Horrifying Truth.’ (self-released)

Though the name might suggest something akin to black or death metal, I Am Giant are actually far more melodic and more at the Enter Shikari/Lostprophets spectrum of the metal scene.

On their debut album, they show that they can pen rock anthems that will appeal to those who enjoy this type of metal -and with songs like ‘Purple Heart’ theyhave won the admiration of the likes of Zane Lowe, so this may well provide the support to help them to break through to a bigger audience.

I’m not sure whether this will appeal to those outside of the rock and metal scenes -and that may well be missing the point. But – I gave this album a listen out of interest and was pleasantly surprised. For those who are immersed in the metal scenes, this will doubtless prove a welcome addition.
