10 JUL 2026 - Back up to full speed! Let's be honest: for the last few months, TorrentFunk was painfully slow. Pages crawled, searches dragged, and just loading the site tested everyone's patience. We hunted the problem down to our network and rebuilt it from the ground up — smarter caching, a much bigger and faster connection, and a lot of fine-tuning under the hood. The difference is night and day: the site now loads in a fraction of a second. No more waiting around. Thanks for sticking with us through the slow spell. Now go discover your funk!

Having just dropped their debut EP “Catalysts”, Brighton based metalcore 5-piece Preserver are set to blow up in 2014 with their unique blend of elegance and brutality. Since forming in June of 2011, Ryan Peters, Dom Cleary, Christy Burns, Frank Pleece and Charlie Stubbs have been hard at work perfecting their music, and with one of the cleanest, most fine tuned sounds I’ve ever heard from an unsigned band, it really shows. The band’s influences include most of the usual suspects: Parkway Drive, Architects, The Devil Wears Prada and August Burns Red, but what really blows me away with this band is not just the music itself, but the quality. The blasting of the kick, the crispness of the snare, the faultless guitar and the unbelievable vocals make this band sound bigger than they really are. In these recordings, they aren’t an unsigned band from Brighton, they are metalcore heavyweights with years of experience behind them.
The EP’s opening track: “Crown of Thorns“ shows you the band’s full potential by introducing you to their killer riffs and bone shattering breakdowns early on. The chorus brings into it the band’s most prominent feature: Contrast. The fierce growls are replaced with sweeping vocals, and the crushing guitars are eclipsed by an elegant lead. “Fractured Skies”, the EP’s penultimate number, pushes the extremes of the contrast even further by introducing an almost heavenly breakdown mid-song. This track focuses more on the band’s lighter side while still maintaining the devastating styles that precede it. The final track and my own personal favourite: “The Enemy” is a hardcore blast the whole way through. With an arse-kicking riff and a breakdown that could make your man-boobs concave, this is their way of making sure you remember their name. And just as the dust is settling, the fist pumping, revolution starting gang vocals are there to take you home.
