Live gig reviews

Judas Priest, Rockhal Box, Esch/Alzette, Luxembourg (16/06/15)

The return of Judas Priest to Luxembourg was, as you might expect, an exciting prospect. Once their support act – who on the night proved even more redundant than expected – was announced, that excitement dissipated somewhat. Still, Judas Priest… Continue Reading →

Czech Metal Fest 2015 – Plzen, Amfitéatr Lochotin 7th June 2015

Day Three   With a change in the weather forecast for this day a cooler temperature was welcomed as the ten minute drizzle on the walk down was the only rain we had contrary to the reports and some deluging… Continue Reading →

Czech Metal Fest – Plzen, Amfitéatr Lochotin 6th June 2015

Day 2 Underestimating the time taken to get to the amphitheatre arena meant only catching Czech band Stroy’s last song though we could hear them whilst walking down the hill to the festival in baking sunshine. Distinctly modern in flavour… Continue Reading →

Czech Metal Fest – Plzen, Amfitéatr Lochotin 5th June 2015

Day One 2015 is turning out to be my Euro trotting year with Norway’s Inferno already under my belt and Wacken Open Air later this year venturing to one of my favourite countries in Europe for an open air metal… Continue Reading →

Slam Fest – Bristol Bierkeller 24/5/15

You’re pretty much guaranteed to have a brilliant time going to a gig on a bank holiday Sunday. Everyone’s spirits have been given a boost with the weekend being extended and heading to the bar to make the most of… Continue Reading →

At The Gates, Rockhal Club, Esch/Alzette, Luxembourg, 06/06/15

Of course, it’s not every day that you get to see At The Gates, and personally, I doubted if I would ever have the privilege. Thankfully the stars aligned though and some miracle brought them right to my door step… Continue Reading →

Portal, Impetuous Ritual, Grave Miasma and QRIXKUOR – London Nambucca 31/5/15

It’s off to a recently refurbished Nambucca tonight and the venue looks a lot better than it used to with much more room in it. Still it was never going to be enough for the London debut of Australian’s Portal… Continue Reading →

Coal Chamber, Soil, The Defiled, Dope – Manchester Ritz, 30/5/15

Originally, this was supposed to be American Head Charge instead of The Defiled, but the band which always seems to be plagued by personal troubles had to pull out which dented the appeal of the night for a fair few… Continue Reading →

Voivod, Krokodil & Desert Storm – London Underworld 20/5/15

This was going to be a slow gig to start as most people are only really interested in the headliner and the supports are not exactly well known or a particular draw to the average Voivod thrasher. This meant that… Continue Reading →

Dames Of Darkness 5 – The Robin 2, Bilston 10/5/15

Day Two With Incassum pulling out of the festival at the last minute Enkelination and Skarlett Riot were to do extended sets plus rumours that the Winter In Eden singer had lost her voice proved true, but more of that… Continue Reading →

Dames Of Darkness 5 – The Robin 2, Bilston 9/5/15

DAY 1 Ever hungry and curious for new ventures in my gigging journey saw me travel to the 5th version of Dames Of Darkness, an event with a cult following of hardened fans of female fronted metal that shared some… Continue Reading →

Incineration Festival – Camden London 9/5/15

This festival hardly started small but in the space of a year has grown substantially and moved up from The Garage to no less than four venues in the heart of Camden. With 30 bands playing over the course of… Continue Reading →
