I am a massive Star Wars fan. I love everything about the original trilogy. I had various Star Wars themed tables at my wedding. I actually persuaded my wife to be, to walk back up the aisle to the Cantina… Continue Reading →
Some call it Rocktober, I call it silly season. Apart from this sterling show London also has Ufomammut playing with Jex Thoth and Cruachan with Ereb Altor on tonight. Doubtless there are others on elsewhere too. Tough choices but short… Continue Reading →
Walking down into the depths of The Underworld was relatively easy this evening. Perhaps owing to Paradise Lost playing a couple blocks away and Annihilator a couple miles away. Either way it allowed for it to be a rather intimate… Continue Reading →

The final show in a series of six dates together, Slabdragger and OHHMS give their tour a sweaty send off at Camden’s Black Heart. Stoner/sludge trio, Old Man Lizard, kick things off; the first of three performances in a test… Continue Reading →
Nervosa are a band on the rise. After being virtually unknown outside of Brazil for their early years until Into Moshpit went viral on YouTube and helped garner the attention of Napalm Records, the Brazilian all female thrash power trio… Continue Reading →
