Feed the Rhino are an English metalcore band from Maidstone, Kent, formed in 2010. They are known for their intense live shows and fusion of hardcore punk with melodic and groove-laden metal. Over their career, they have released four studio albums and received coverage from music publications including Metal Hammer, Distorted Sound, and Already Heard. The band has performed at major music festivals including Reading & Leeds, Hellfest, and Bloodstock. Following their show at London's Camden Underworld on 17th May 2019, Feed The Rhino split up[1]. In October 2024, the band appeared to reform, sharing new gig flyers on their official social media accounts, although no official statement has been issued, and it remains unclear whether this marks a full return.
History
[edit]The band formed in 2010 and released their debut album, Mr. Red Eye, the same year through Siege of Amida Records. Their second release, The Burning Sons (2012), marked a heavier and more experimental sound. Sputnikmusic praised it as "an excellent British hardcore album."[2]
In 2014, The Sorrow and the Sound expanded the band's melodic range and was released via Siege of Amida and Century Media. Metal Hammer called it "energetic and crowd-friendly" and praised the improved production and songwriting.[3]
After a brief hiatus, they returned with The Silence in 2018, which blended polished production with a broader dynamic range. Metal Hammer highlighted the sharper riffs and larger melodies,[4] while Angry Metal Guy noted the album's clarity and songwriting focus.[5]
