Live gig reviews

Epica & Stream Of Passion – London Electric Ballroom 19/12/12

Scroll to bottom for photo gallery It was crazy with the amount of good gigs on tonight in town. We had Cradle Of Filth with Rotting Christ and God Seed, The Prodigy, The Wonderstuff and Pop Will Eat Itself and… Continue Reading →

Virus, Vulture Industries, Krakow & Mondvolland – London Underworld 11/12/12

Scroll to bottom of feature for tripped out photo gallery.  There’s a silly amount of things on this time of year and simply not having funds or energy to go to much means picking and choosing very carefully. I had… Continue Reading →

Testament & Malefice – London Koko 30/11/12

I entered the venue minutes before Malefice started their set, completely missing the opening act of the evening, Xerath, as I had no idea proceedings were to begin so early, with Testament hitting the stage at 8.15. Now back to… Continue Reading →

Alien Sex Fiend – London Dome 1/12/12

30 years of The Fiend, wow doesn’t time fly, like a bat! I have loved this band for a very long time myself and had been looking forward to this somewhat rare performance from the Fiend, one that was going… Continue Reading →

Doro & Seven – London The Garage 20/11/12

It’s a Tuesday night in the freezing rain in grimy grubby bastard Highbury. Despite the less than salubrious surroundings The Garage is heaving, awash with leather-clad band members, scribbling journalists and even a reasonable horde of real-live Maiden t-shirted punters…. Continue Reading →

Anaal Nathrakh, Code & Winterfylleth – London Electrowerkz 30/11/12

Even at 7pm there was a healthy crowd loitering in the unsalubrious alleyway by this decrepit old venue. It seemed like people were out early and wanted to make sure they saw all three bands. It could not have been… Continue Reading →

Obituary, Macabre and Psycroptic – Exhaus, Trier, Germany, 23/11/12

Tonight is the second night of Obituary’s ‘Rotting Slowly in Europe tour, for which the band is playing tracks exclusively from their first three barnstorming releases. In tow, are Illinois’ murder metallists, Macabre, and two Aussie bands in the form… Continue Reading →

Angel Witch, Enforcer, Age of Taurus – World Headquarters, Newcastle upon Tyne 7/11/12

It was 7.30 when the doors opened. I was exhausted by my weekly work, but this show deserved my labour. It was a one in a lifetime experience for me and there was no way I was missing it. But… Continue Reading →

Damnation Festival – Leeds University 3/11/12

Scroll down to bottom of review for photos!  The annual Damnation Festival held in Leeds is, I think it is fair to say, the biggest indoor metal event in the North of England. Every year it sees a huge crowd… Continue Reading →

Fear Factory, The Devin Townsend Project, Kulturfabrik, Esch/Alzette, Luxembourg, 30/10/12

What are the chances of that? No good metal gig around this neck of the woods for months and then two within days of each other: first Down, now Fear Factory. Although FF’s height of popularity was quite a while… Continue Reading →

Fields Of The Nephilim – London Shepherds Bush Empire 31/10/12

Yes that date is indeed Halloween and what better night is there to go to a gig like this? I was lucky enough to catch Alien Sex Fiend a couple of years ago on this witching night and it is… Continue Reading →

Paul Fox Social Featuring Scabies & James – Ruislip Social Club 27/10/12

The area I live in is rich in musical heritage. As far as punk is concerned luminaries of the scene were often spotted wandering around visiting people such as Adam and his Ants,  Dave Vanian of The Damned,  Billy Idol… Continue Reading →
