Live gig reviews

Crowbar, Hang The Bastard & Dripback – London Garage 4/3/14

Oof this is one heavyweight bill that’s been winding its way from Manchester to Glasgow taking in ten unsuspecting UK towns. Half way through and it’s London’s turn which is perfect for the opening band Dripback as it sees the… Continue Reading →

A Pale Horse Named Death, Blood Runs Deep & Stormzone – London Underworld 13/2/14

Just like buses all coming at once there were at least four shows on in town tonight that would have been good to go to. There are always going to be winners and losers when these sort of clashes occur… Continue Reading →

Behemoth, Cradle Of Filth, In Solitude, Inquisition & Svarttjern – London Forum 10/2/14

A more than heavyweight line-up for a Monday night going on here and needless to say that partly due to this and no doubt the strength on new Behemoth album ‘The Satanist’ the venue was pretty much sold out. I… Continue Reading →

Sepultura & Primitai – London Islington Academy 6/2/14

Perhaps it’s a sign of having lived on this island for over a decade when the first thing you do is complain about the fucking rain which when combined with the industrial action taking place on the London Underground Network,… Continue Reading →

Leaves Eyes, Pythia & Atrocity – London Garage 19/1/14

It’s generally quiet this time of year and after the mayhem of gigs in December it gives the much needed chance to refresh our batteries a bit. I couldn’t think of a much better band to see to start off… Continue Reading →

Therion & Arkona – London Islington Academy 20/12/13

Due to a combination of early doors and meeting up with people, for once I completely broke my own rule of trying to make sure I covered all the support bands by walking in just as the second of them… Continue Reading →

Carpathian Forest, The Rotted & Eastern Front – London Underworld 14/12/13

Well there were no worries about this one being empty and there was already a queue at the doors well before they opened and the few remaining tickets were quickly snapped up. For once the first support band were playing… Continue Reading →

Arcturus, Fen & From The Bogs Of Aughiska – London Islington Academy 13/12/13

It’s mental out there, trying to stop and have a quiet pint in the pub before the show was an impossibility as some classy boss has treated about 50 of his braying staff to their turkey nosebags in the Moons… Continue Reading →

Death Angel, Dew-Scented & Extrema – London Underworld 10/12/13

Wandering towards the door of The Underworld I began to wonder whether I’d got the night wrong. There wasn’t a single person milling about outside and certainly no queue. As I got to the ticket booth however, a dreadlockless Mark… Continue Reading →

Watain & Coltsblood – London Electric Ballroom 8/12/13

There are plenty of black metal acts coming to town at the moment to keep us aurally terrorized but Watain are well renowned for attacking other senses too being the most stinky band on the planet. However we could breathe… Continue Reading →

Gathering Of The 500 Featuring Conflict, Subhumans etc – London Underworld 7/12/13

This is the first of two gigs where Conflict are gathering together a selection of bands and possibly playing some of their songs for the last time. You forget just had overbearing Camden can be on a Sat, full of… Continue Reading →

Shining, Sterbhaus, Scutum Crux, Premature Birth and Vatigal Surrd – London Electrowerkz 3/12/13

It’s an early start today and things are quick to get underway as the first of three London based support bands kick off proceedings to the small gathered throng in the grim and grimy enclaves of the Electrowerkz. There were… Continue Reading →
