Live gig reviews

The Sun Explodes, Beneath the Wake, Black Polaris, Sayonara Sweetheart and Derange at Unicorn, Camden 2/10/13

Once upon a time, I’d have got to know about this concert from a flyer I’d been handed or maybe by looking at a scruffy note in a club or pub window. But this is 2013. It was a band… Continue Reading →

Warhorns Festival – York The Duchess 27-28/9/13

Friday 27/09/13 There can be few cities more appropriate to host a festival of predominantly pagan/Viking metal than the place that previously was named Jorvik (and before that Eboracum), and there it’s a beautiful bright day to greet us too…. Continue Reading →

The More I See, Scream Blue Murder, Driven – The Trinity Bar Harrow 20/9/13

Bloody hell a gig in my own manor! Now despite having a rich history of live music with pubs such as The Roxborough, The Clay Pigeon and The Railway having put on everyone from The Who to The Dead Kennedy’s… Continue Reading →

Pretty Maids, Cage The Gods & Tainted Nation – Underworld London 22/9/13

Let’s put this into perspective, TFL has hardly any tube lines running, it’s a Sunday and I have a stinking cold…but it has been 28 years since Pretty Maids have played the UK (support to Saxon), so this was one… Continue Reading →

Mercenary, Omnium Gatherum, Wretched Soul – Camden Underworld 12/9/13

Four hairy men from Kent took to the stage. Wretched Soul had even brought a little fan club with them to the Underworld tonight. This helped the atmosphere along but the band did their bit with potent riffage and impressive… Continue Reading →

Caina, Hordes, Barshasketh – London Unicorn 6/9/13

An interesting line-up as ever put on completely free at the Unicorn saw many heading out of the centre of Camden and trooping up the hill looking for some bleak and black extremity. First up were Barshasketh all the way… Continue Reading →

Candlefest – Altar Of Plagues, Xerath, Zatokrev, Kontinuum, Crown, Ancient Ascendant, The Earls Of Mars – Camden Underworld 24/8/13

The second day of the Candlefest sees an eclectic mix of bands including a few that I have never seen and a headliner playing their swansong. It was an early start as one band I did not want to miss… Continue Reading →

Candlefest – Anaal Nathrakh, Palehorse, Voices & Hybris – Camden Underworld 23/8/13

Since the first Candlefest I never really assumed it was going to be a yearly event but it seems to be very much a part of the calendar now with this showcase of bands on the Candlelight roster stepping up… Continue Reading →

RDF, Hagar The Womb, The Astronauts & Shocks Of Mighty – London Underworld 18/8/13

Scroll down for photo gallery “Brilliant” is the word uttered from the mouth of the singer of Shocks Of Mighty as he looks out from the stage realising that the audience had not even reached double figures. Most were still… Continue Reading →

TechFest 2013, near Peterborough, Saturday 13th July 2013

The Cambridgeshire Fens are certainly an interesting choice of venue for a festival. It’s not going to disturb the neighbours because there aren’t any, but it’s also nigh on impossible to get to other than by bike or car. This… Continue Reading →

Napalm Death & Blockheads – Kulturfabrik, Esch/Alzette, Luxembourg, 03/07/13

This was one of those gigs that I was leaving as a last minute decision whether to go or not. Picking up ‘Utilitarian’ belatedly a few weeks back drew me towards going to see Napalm Death, while a week of… Continue Reading →

Von – London Underworld 25/6/13

Everything about this show went FUBAR! First Von were announced as playing a few nights prior to this at The Garage and tonight at The Electrowerkz it was meant to be Absu. Then we heard Inquisition were playing here and… Continue Reading →
