APF Records is proud to announce the 10th anniversary edition of Mastiff’s debut album Wrank, available on CD from 22nd February.

Originally out in 2016, Wrank was pressed on CD just once, selling out immediately and remaining unavailable in that format ever since. The album marked the arrival of a band whose uncompromising blend of sludge, hardcore and extreme metal quickly set them apart from the pack.

Wrank was also the record that first caught the attention of APF Records, leading to the band being signed and the subsequent BORK EP in 2017, followed by their crushing 2019 full-length Plague.

This 10th anniversary edition marks the first CD pressing in nearly a decade and features brand new artwork designed by Mastiff bassist Dan Dolby, giving the album a fresh visual identity while staying true to its raw, confrontational spirit.

Alongside the CD, a new Wrank 10th Anniversary t-shirt is also available, with options to purchase the shirt on its own or as part of a CD + t-shirt bundle.

A decade on, Wrank remains as punishing and vital as ever. You need it in your life. Pre-orders are open now here on the APF Records website.

There was always something wrong with Roundwood - a seed of something older than the town.

Something that rooted its people in place as it grew beyond them, something we couldn't understand. It involved Isaac, Ma, The Alchemist, roots and limbs, and rings circling.... 

Under tell the full story of What Happened In Roundwood on their new album, which lands on all streaming sites 23rd Janaury. But if you can't wait til then: as is APF tradition on Riffmas Eve, the tale is now available to listen to and read about on our YouTube channel.

Get it in your ears and eyes. 
Under f-ing rule.

What Happened In Roundwood is available on white vinyl LP and CD. There’s also a cool tee available. Check them out in our website shop.

How can something so pretty sound so terrifying?

Because make no mistake about it, Under's What Happened In Roundwood album - which APF is dropping on your heads on 23rd January - is not for the weak.

We released the most commercial track on it last month - called Escape Roundwood - mainly to throw you off your guard. Today we're unfurling second single Tantrum, which really isn't very radio-friendly. At all. Radiohead-level awkwardness (and genius).

Anyway, the white vinyl has arrived and it's lush. The album is also available on CD and in t-shirt bundles. You can grab one in the shop here on the APF website, and on Bandcamp. 

New single Tantrum is available on the streaming site of your choice. Get it in your ears.

Manchester’s ferocious alt-rock four-piece THE HYENA KILL release their new album Collapse today on APF Records. 

A record built on intensity, melody and emotional honesty, Collapse is the band’s most ambitious and powerful work to date. Across eleven tracks they channel everything from crushing riffs to soaring vocals, balancing raw aggression with moments of reflection.

Featuring the singles “Sly”, “Benefits Me” and "Collapse The Sun", the album showcases a band at full strength - confident, uncompromising, and utterly compelling.

Collapse is available now on:

Limited Edition Gold Vinyl (100 copies)

Limited Edition Cassette (50 copies)

Digipak CD

Exclusive t-shirt bundle options with artwork by Ben Tallon

APF Records is thrilled to announce the return of UNDER with their new full-length album What Happened in Roundwood, set for release on 23rd January 2026.

The Stockport trio – Matt Franklin (bass/vocals), Andy Preece (drums/vocals) and Simon Mayo (guitar/vocals) – have long been one of the most unique voices in the UK heavy underground. Their unclassifiable blend of sludge, noise, prog and avant-garde chaos has earned them a reputation for bending genres and brains alike.

Following their acclaimed releases Slick (2017), Stop Being Naïve (2018) and Training Resource #5 (2020), What Happened in Roudwood finds Under delving deeper into their own uneasy world - where gnarled riffs, off-kilter rhythms and surreal lyricism collide in glorious, unnerving harmony.

Recorded and mixed by Simon Mayo at Spirit Studios in Manchester, the new album captures the full intensity of the band’s live sound while introducing new textures, dynamics and layers of unsettling beauty.

The first single from the album, “Escape Roudwood,” will be released on 30th October 2025 on Spotify and all major streaming platforms.

What Happened in Roudwood will follow on 23rd January 2026 on vinyl, CD and digital formats via APF Records. A new t-shirt is also available.
