A pinch and a punch for the first of the month is more than likely to occur tonight, as the pits and aggression expected from a death metal entity such as Obituary is a force not to be reckoned with… Continue Reading →
It’s a chilly evening and we scurry quickly into the venue to warm up as soon as doors open at 5PM. It may well be an early start but well worth getting down in time for opening band Malthusian who… Continue Reading →
This was for many the first gig of the year and the black hordes were really crawling out the woodwork to such an extent there were apparently only 2 quickly snapped up tickets remaining when the doors opened. It’s a… Continue Reading →
