The flu has made me unable to present tonight, but that just means that Rock Face will be non-stop music. This week's show is a celebration of the best rock and metal releases of 2025, a few older tracks that have been my favourites on this year's show, and finally three cracking rock and metal Christmas songs.

Tune in at 7pm online, or just ask your smart speaker to play Calder Valley Radio.

I'll take this opportunity to thank you for tuning in this year, it's been an incredible privilege to bring some amazing artists to you.

I look forward to seeing what 2026 holds, and sharing it with you. Have a wonderful Christmas and New Year!

The New York Times names "Caramel" by Sleep Token one of the best songs of 2025. 📷 Katja Ogrin/Redferns

"A huge, gloriously silly and brutally effective amalgam of abandoned styles ripe for reinvigorating — rap-metal, dream-prog, pop-reggaeton, backpack hip-hop, cosplay rock, metalcore and more."

This fabulous interview and co-host is now available on catch-up. Such a fun evening with some brilliant music, and fascinating insight into Julie’s investigative world. A privilege to have her in the studio. I’ll put the link in the comments.

…and a rising tide lifts all ships. 🤘🤘

Bring Me The Horizon has transformed from an aggressive metalcore band into genre-bending innovators, seamlessly blending electronic, pop, and orchestral elements into their music. Hits like Can You Feel My Heart and Drown showcase their fearless experimentation, proving they continue to push metal’s boundaries.

Sleep Token remains one of the most enigmatic forces in music, with Vessel’s haunting vocals and cinematic compositions creating an immersive experience. Their album This Place Will Become Your Tomb blends heaviness and ethereal beauty, making each track a mesmerizing journey through progressive and atmospheric metal.

Bad Omens is rapidly rising in the post-hardcore and metalcore scene, delivering emotionally charged songs with melodic hooks and intense guitar riffs. Tracks like The Worst in Me and Limits highlight their ability to connect with fans through raw vulnerability and dynamic sound, cementing their place among contemporary metal’s most exciting acts.
