'AJLT': Here's Where You've Seen Carrie's Hot Gardener (And Tom Hardy Lookalike) Logan Marshall-Green Before
It's a tough time being a fan of And Just Like That... and its leading lady, Carrie Bradshaw. So far this season we've had that hand lick, a bonnet and in episode two, we had to withstand a plague of rats. But thankfully, Carrie finally came up with the goods hiring landscape architect to the stars, Adam Gardens, played by Logan Marshall-Green. FIND OUT MORE ON ELLE COLLECTIVE After her romance novel writing is interrupted by the aforementioned rats in the beautiful garden of her Gramercy home (we're completely obsessed - the wisteria!), in her determination to look underneath the perfection, Carrie hires a string of professionals to try and sort her garden (clearly the gardening bloom boom hasn't reached New York's great and good). In comes Adam, played by Marshall-Green. And as she magicked him straight off her own page, he enters by saving Carrie's cat, Shoe. It seems viewers were thrilled to see him too, with fans swooning all over social media. In the US, where viewers can see the latest AJLT episode at a more sociable hour than the UK's 2.05 am drop, Marshall-Green was the top trending topic on Google for viewers of the show. And with there being more pictures of Adam online - and that garden a long way from done - it looks like the actor could be a recurring cast member in season three. So where have you seen the actor before? Here's what you need to know. Marshall-Green has starred in a number of TV shows and films across his varied career, but chances are you may remember him from way back, when he starred in The O.C. The actor starred as Trey Atwood, Ryan's big brother in nine episodes, after he replaced another actor. He was a crucial part in the show, when he attacked Marisa in season two, before she shot him at the end of the series. He had a six-episode role in 24, and was in series including Damnation, The Defeated and Big Sky. He's also appeared in big-budget films like Carry-On, Spider-Man: Homecoming and Prometheus. While the likeness isn't maybe as obvious in his beared Adam Gardens guise, throughout his career, people have compared him to Brit actor Tom Hardy, with some claiming it's hard to tell them apart. And while, no, he's not related to Hardy, he does have a twin brother - Taylor Marshall-Green. The likeness between Marshall-Green and Hardy is so commonplace, that he has previously spoken about it. 'I'd be honoured to be in the same sentence as Tom Hardy,' he's told ELLE previously. 'I've been a twin since the day I was born - fraternal, but we look a lot alike - so I've already been mixed up with another man my entire life.'

Impurity's debut album celebrates classic sound.
AS far as band monikers go, Impurity is as a bland and generic one can get for a death metal band. Hailing from Stockholm, Sweden, the band was formed in 2021 and was formerly known as Damnation. A rebranding was required to avoid confusion with a Danish black metal band of the same name but the replacement moniker did little to alleviate the confusion. There are three other bands calling themselves Impurity! But this Swedish group persisted and was swiftly picked up by Hammerheart Records based on the strength of its Forever Lifeless demo. And what a fine debut album this version of Impurity has coughed out. The Eternal Sleep is a proper celebration of the original fuzzy, buzzsaw tone that made a name for Swedish bands, giving rise to the subgenre of melodic death metal, as popularised by seminal acts such as Entombed and Dismember. Looking to re-create that sound and tone of those early albums such as Left Hand Path and Ever Flowing Stream, Impurity decided to return to the source by engaging Tomas Skosberg and Dan Swano to produce their first LP. The fact that Impurity opted to record in the famed Sunlight Studio in Gothenburg obviously helped as it nailed that famed 'HM-2' sound perfectly. The band has acknowledged that Skosberg was instrumental in getting the guitar tone just right. Fans of early Entombed and Dismember will love what Impurty has done. Capturing the power and dynamics of those pioneering albums alongside that fat fuzzy tone has elevated Eternal Sleep into something quite special. The influence of those early Swedish death metal progenitors can be heard on tracks like Denial of Clarity and Ancient Remains. Listening without glancing at track info, listeners could be forgiven for thinking these were lost Entombed or Dismember tracks. The thing that keeps the whole enterprise into sinking into a pointless carbon copy is the band's innate grasp of dynamics. These guys just know when to slow things down and just when to bludgeon listeners with a well-timed blast to the eardrums. It is not just the guitar tone but also the fat bass lines and in-your-face drum sounds that will have fans of this subgenre squalling in orgasmic delight. Metal, in particular this very niche version of it, depends greatly on sonic attacks to create lasting impressions and Impurity nails it. Lament to the Lost One and Rectifying Pieces have riffs that will have listeners playing air instruments in glee, regardless of gender or age. Yes, it is that infectious and it is metal delivered with a fine, steely edge, all powered by the famed HM-2 guitar effects pedal. As Oscar Wilde famously quipped, 'Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.' Amen to that! The Eternal Sleep is released via the Hammerheart imprint and is available to stream on all major platforms.
