Holy Roar is a London-based independent record label that specializes in punk and hardcore music. Established in January 2006, the label was founded by Alex Fitzpatrick and has since released numerous albums and EPs. With a focus on promoting underground talent, Holy Roar has become known for its commitment to supporting emerging artists.

Over the years, Holy Roar has built a reputation for its dedication to the punk and hardcore scenes. The label's passion for these genres is evident in their diverse roster of *bands* who bring raw energy and powerful messages to their music. From intense guitar riffs to hard-hitting lyrics, Holy Roar releases showcase the best of punk and hardcore.

In recent times, Holy Roar faced challenges when allegations of sexual assault were made against Alex Fitzpatrick on September 8, 2020. As a result, many bands and employees associated with the label decided to part ways immediately. While this incident had an impact on the label's operations, it does not diminish the contributions that Holy Roar made to the punk and hardcore communities over its history.

From the opening monologue’s transition into first track proper, ‘The New Sun’ it’s immediately transparent that UK progressive doom merchants Garganjua are cutting onto another plane entirely with their third album ‘Toward The Sun’. Musing on universal truths and the importance of grounding oneself in the present, the band’s sound flits between polarities of crushing rhythms and cacophony whilst colouring in the dark with their trademark expansive melodicism.Through sonically exploring what it means to spiritually transcend, the album’s thematically grandiose trilogy of tracks (‘Transcending’, ‘Transcendence’ &amp; ‘Ascend (Awakening)’) will surely draw parallels to greats such as Pallbearer, Bossk and Elder in it’s abandonment of compositional and genre confines. Coupled with the feverish dynamism of cuts such as ‘Mire’ and ‘Light Bearer’, it’s hard to argue against the four piece’s own ascendency being anything short of breathtaking. Forging their own path through a slow and steady refinement of their sound and unfaltering belief in their artistic vision, Garganjua’s latest offering feels as otherworldly and monolithic as it does rooted in it’s own humanity and hope.
