Seven Sisters – The Warden (S/R)

Born out of their love for the NWOBHM movement, London’s Seven Sisters (a name inspired by a tube train destination so I am lead to believe!) are fresh out of the blocks and riding high on the buzz from around… Continue Reading →

Necros Christos, Binah, The One & Funeral Throne – London Dome 14/6/14

Another cracking line up here, combining the best in death and black metal and it seems like all sorts of tribes are descending on Tufnell Park. Round the corner playing the smaller Boston Arms there’s a Voice of Oi mini… Continue Reading →

De Profundis – Frequencies (S/R)

This London-based band made a positive impact at the recent Incineration Festival with their energetic display of technical blackened death metal. “Frequencies”, their latest four track EP following three album releases since 2007, features material from their set on that… Continue Reading →

Mystifier, Bolzer, Cruciamentum, Spearhead, Malthusian and Zom – London Dome 7/6/14

Killer line up this one, London is well and truly spoiled by the sort of bill we often look at in other European destinations and think will never come to England, but it did and by the time doors open… Continue Reading →

Reverted – Sputter the Worms (S/R)

To be honest, I really wasn’t expecting much from this album. I listened to a couple songs they had uploaded to YouTube while waiting for the CD to arrive. Thankfully I’ve been pleasantly surprised, as it is so much better… Continue Reading →

The Wounded Kings, Sigiriya and Coltsblood – London Black Heart 24/5/14

I didn’t give Coltsblood the best of rides last time I reviewed them, it really was a case of wrong gig and wrong venue as far as I was concerned. I had been told they were much better suited to… Continue Reading →

Mayhem, Merrimack and Stahlsarg – London Garage 21/5/14

A load of rancid food stalls and hippy head shops got slightly singed a couple of days before this date was due to hit town and the gig was moved from Camden to the Garage down the road. A lot… Continue Reading →

Scutum Crux – The Second Sun (Immortal Frost Productions)

Taking their name from a stream of stars and matter from the trailing arm spiralling out towards the end of the milky way, Scutum Crux are a band that if you go to underground shows in London, chances are you… Continue Reading →

Christian Death, Manflu & Puffer – London Garage 14/5/14

Sometimes it makes things more interesting knowing nothing about support bands and it allows you to go into watching them without any preconceived notions. Both the ones on the bill tonight were unheard of as far as I was concerned… Continue Reading →

Xandria & Stream Of Passion – London Underworld 9/5/14

Due to a bit of a shifty on the running times I only caught a couple of numbers of first band Apparition. I have to admit that turned out to be a blessing in disguise. They were quite a soothing… Continue Reading →

Interview – Deep Machine

Deep Machine are a highly entertaining live band, having formed back in 1979, they reactivated themselves about 5 years ago. Since then, these London NWOBHM troopers have had early recordings re-released, had a new EP release, but it has taken… Continue Reading →

Trollfest, Finsterforst & Cryptic Forest – London Underworld 21/4/14

This was going to be a fun one and it was nice to see that a few people were dressed for the occasion wearing lab coats and bee hats to add to the zaniness that the headlining trolls were going… Continue Reading →
