Live gig reviews

The Answer, Bad Touch, The Picture Books – Liverpool Arts Club 17/03/2015

St Patrick’s Day is the one day of the year you can both love and equally detest. Whilst it has a great party-like atmosphere, the amount of ‘plastic paddies’ who parade the streets in cheap green/white/orange wigs or Guinness hats… Continue Reading →

King Dude, The Death Letter, Markers – London The Black Heart 16/3/15

Last time King Dude hit London his set was cut remarkably short by an injury he’d sustained to his hand in a bar fight. After struggling through a gruelling 30 minutes, it was obvious the pain was becoming too much… Continue Reading →

Sanctuary, Monument, Metasoma – London Underworld 3/3/15

What surprised the hell out of me was walking into the venue shortly before half past seven, only to find it very quiet and rather empty. At half past Metasoma took to the stage to warm up the venue and… Continue Reading →

Marduk, Belphegor, Bliss Of Flesh & Ethereal – London Underworld 26/2/15

There’s a barricade up in front of the stage tonight which is a rarity but it’s probably for the audience’s safety as much as the bands as nobody wants to get on the wrong side of Marduk’s vocalist Mortuus. It… Continue Reading →

Claudio Simonetti’s Goblin Perform Profondo Rosso – London Barbican 21/2/15

Well this place is certainly not one of our normal dives for going to see bands. That’s not just what we are doing tonight here either as we will be watching a film too. 50 Shades Of Grey is showing… Continue Reading →

Obituary, M:Pire of Evil, Dust Bolt & Rotting Repugnancy – London Electric Ballroom 1/2/2015

A pinch and a punch for the first of the month is more than likely to occur tonight, as the pits and aggression expected from a death metal entity such as Obituary is a force not to be reckoned with… Continue Reading →

Primordial, Winterfylleth, Portrait & Malthusian – London Islington Academy 7/2/15

It’s a chilly evening and we scurry quickly into the venue to warm up as soon as doors open at 5PM. It may well be an early start but well worth getting down in time for opening band Malthusian who… Continue Reading →

Inquisition, Archgoat & Ondskapt – London Underworld 29/1/15

This was for many the first gig of the year and the black hordes were really crawling out the woodwork to such an extent there were apparently only 2 quickly snapped up tickets remaining when the doors opened. It’s a… Continue Reading →

Die Antwoord – Rockhal Box, Esch/Alzette, Luxembourg 25/01/15

Die Antwoord are the South African Zef (see wikipedia) collective whose obscure videos, lyrics and image have elevated them way beyond the status of being considered just a rap/electro entity. My first encounter with their darkly humorous world of grime… Continue Reading →

Kreator, Arch Enemy, Shining + Marty Friedman – London Forum 18/12/14

It was a dark and funnily enough, not too cold night for autumn, so I’m certain people in the queue around the corner, with the rather strange police presence, weren’t hypothermic by the time they got to enter the venue… Continue Reading →

Morbid Angel, Benediction, Unfathomable Ruination – London Islington Academy 12/12/2014

With doors opening at 6pm, it’s a mad rush from the office to Islington tonight and with such a strong line up, the disappointment of being late is looming over our heads as we rush up the underground escalators.  Unfortunately… Continue Reading →

New Model Army – London Forum 12/12/14

Bad old clashes in town tonight with both Morbid Angel and the UK Subs playing but you go where your heart is and mine was always going to be here. It’s always a pleasure seeing New Model Army as the… Continue Reading →
