Live gig reviews

Down – Den Atelier, Luxembourg City, Luxembourg, 27/10/12

Tonight marks Down’s Luxembourg debut, and unsurprisingly, it’s a sell-out. Then again, according to the modest tour shirts (whose dates are obscured by a giant red ‘SOLD OUT’ stamp), so is the whole tour. It came as a bit of… Continue Reading →

European Progressive Assault: Leprous, Loch Vostok, Persefone and Ørkenkjøtt – Camden Underworld 22/10/12.

  I was very excited about this one – four bands that I like all painting musical pictures in different and unusual ways. It all hung on the live representation. I just hoped the sound in the venue was going… Continue Reading →

Full Moon Dog Festival – Leeds Cockpit 13/10/12

The second incarnation of the Full Moon Dog Festival, an event dedicated in remembrance of the tragic death of Jay-Jay Winter, bassist and singer of Asomvel. Maintaining a passion for purist heavy metal the festival doggedly sticks to the roots… Continue Reading →

ProgPower Europe – Part 3 – Sun 7th October – Baarlo, Holland

Sunday was a cold and chilly day. Some Progpeople went for a run in the morning, while others just … chilled out. First up at the JC Sjiwa club today was Atlantis from the host country. An electro-ambient rhythm ran… Continue Reading →

ProgPower Europe – Part 2 – Sat 6th October – Baarlo, Holland

Normally at ProgPower many of the festival goers spend the Saturday and Sunday morning sitting in the courtyard of the splendid castle, chat, listen to music and generally recover from the night before. The rain came this year, so on… Continue Reading →

ProgPower Europe, Thursday 4th to Sunday 7th October 2012 – Baarlo, Holland. Part 1

It’s the start of October so it must be ProgPower Europe. It’s the time of year when lovers of all types of progressive music and indeed all types of rock and metal descend upon the normally sleepy village of Baarlo… Continue Reading →

Voivod, Doom & Serpent Venom – London Garage 7/10/12

Great line up this and a very versatile one. It caught a few out though as they had to decide between this and Overkill who were also playing down the road but to be honest I did not even think… Continue Reading →

Cemetery Rapist & Anal Penetration – King’s Manor, Newcastle 5.10.2012

The underground grind movement is flourishing in North East Britain. Many well-known names like Wormrot, Eviscorax, Laceration etc. have played gigs here. However, some of the small places, in which these bands play, are not suitable. This is what happened… Continue Reading →

Marduk, Immolation & Supports – London Underworld 29/9/12

This was one of those mix it up and throw extreme black and death metal bands on a tour together kind of thangs. Whilst some moaned about not wanting to see all of the bands, as far as business sense… Continue Reading →

Vision Of Disorder, Earthtone9, RSJ – Manchester NQ 15/9/12

Billed as doors at 6PM our party arrived in good time only for the doors not be open until 6.30 so doing a 180 and heading straight for the boozer seemed the best course of action before returning only to… Continue Reading →

Grave + Vile + Sonne Adam – London Underworld 18/9/12

With most of the press stuck outside until just before Sonne Adam came on stage, one assumes that the two previous bands were suitably supported, but in any case, I was only really interested in a couple of the bands… Continue Reading →

Bloodstock Open Air Sunday 12th August 2012

Sunday morning. Hungover and suffering from that nearing-the-end-of-the-festival fatigue, one is in dire need of a pick-me-up. Something loud and heavy to get the blood pumping as it were. Off to a galloping start then, are female-fronted Canucks, Kobra And… Continue Reading →
