Neonfly – Strangers in Paradise (Inner Wound)

Neonfly are a promising band who just seem to keep growing from strength to strength. Having shared the stage with the likes of Alice Cooper, Sonata Arctica, Magnum and more recently, Dragonforce, the power metal five piece from London are… Continue Reading →

Purson – In the Meantime (Machine Elf)

Critically acclaimed ‘The Circle and the Blue Door’ cemented Purson as one of the UK’s greatest retro-psychedelia acts. Emerging from a hazy cloud of hookah smoke, the five-piece are back with EP ‘In the Meantime’. Rosalie Cunningham’s vocals are placed… Continue Reading →

Lordi – Scare Force One (AFM)

What’s the matter with me? I could’ve had the new Anaal Nathrakh sent through but NO the utter child in me that actually likes the idea of Finnish loons in rubber monster outfits playing 80’s trash rock won out and… Continue Reading →

Anti-Mortem – New Southern (Nuclear Blast)

  I reckon Nuclear Blast think they’ve found a band who have inhabited a small gap in the Metal market – it is their job after all, but they might just be right. It’s probably a sound that only a… Continue Reading →

Generation Kill – We’re All Gonna Die (Nuclear Blast)

Where to start with Generation Kill? That’s a toughie. The phrase ‘Generation Kill’ is one that is far more prevalent in the USA then the UK, referring to the TV series that depicted the early “glory days” of the US… Continue Reading →

WolveSpirit – Dreamcatcher (Spirit Stone Records)

WolveSpirit lure you in with the promise of ‘bone grinding rock’ and psychedelic, brighter than the sun album artwork. From the way this record is packaged it’s easy to be fooled into thinking you’re going to get some chunky, fuzz… Continue Reading →

Lordi – To Beast Or Not To Beast (AFM)

Lordi, Finland’s most outlandish Metal export return with a new CD to unleash on an unwitting public. I had actually heard an album by Lordi before their famous (or infamous) Eurovision win of 2006. I remember seeing them perform on… Continue Reading →

Bolder Damn – Mourning (Shadow Kingdom)

A quick view of my recent purchase history, where Bloody Hammers, Blood of the Sun, and other bands that pay tribute to a retro rock sound shows I’m in a real old time vibe right now.  That, and a just… Continue Reading →

Eviscerated Panda ‘A Metal Tale’ – Sarah Tipper

Do not worry, no need to alert PETA, there is absolutely no harm done to any defenceless animals here. Not that pandas are exactly defenceless; would you want to piss one off? This is probably why Eviscerated Panda is a… 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 →

Interview – Shining – Niklas Kvarforth

  As far as depressive blackened textures are concerned there are few more adept at painting them musically than the Swedish band Shining. Perhaps for some the thought of approaching the music is too off putting as dwelling on the… Continue Reading →

The Other – The Devils You Know (SPV)

The Other, are a band hailing from Germany, and at first glance you’d think they were Danzig! So it is no surprise to hear that back in the day they were a Misfits cover band called Ghouls in 1999. This… Continue Reading →
