I doubt that any self respecting metaller that follows the scene within the UK hasn’t at least witnessed a live show by these purist heavy metal purveyors, or know that they tragically lost founding member Jay-Jay Winter in a road… Continue Reading →
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 →
Epysode’s debut totally passed me by! I missed it somehow – How?? I do like a bit of Dark Power Metal and sure enough this second offering has it in spades. There’s no Dragons being slayed here, no wizards. no… Continue Reading →
