Saille, Ethereal and Vehement – London Unicorn 19/4/14

Oi Inferno Festival, you’ve nicked all the good bands leaving us stuck in London with a dull long weekend. Hold on though the Unicorn is always reliable for a good evening of live music and indeed there is a night… Continue Reading →

Kampfar, Hate, Velnias & Iskald – London Underworld 3/4/14

Well there’s some shocks in store at the Underworld on arriving today. Firstly a display board has gone up outside the venue which will have the names of the bands playing put up each day and secondly they are going… Continue Reading →

Van Canto, Winterstorm, enKelination – London Underworld 2/4/14

Having never heard of enKelination, I had no idea what to expect, but the fact that there was a queue to enter the Underworld this early certainly boded well. When the band slipped on stage under cover of darkness and… Continue Reading →

Monsterworks – Universe (Eat Lead And Die Music)

With bands pilfering from every metal genre through the ages these days, it’s becoming harder to confidently pigeon-hole them but, what the hell, I’m going for it anyway. Cosmic progressive thrash. There, I’ve done it. I’ve slotted Monsterworks into their… Continue Reading →

Crowbar, Hang The Bastard & Dripback – London Garage 4/3/14

Oof this is one heavyweight bill that’s been winding its way from Manchester to Glasgow taking in ten unsuspecting UK towns. Half way through and it’s London’s turn which is perfect for the opening band Dripback as it sees the… Continue Reading →

A Pale Horse Named Death, Blood Runs Deep & Stormzone – London Underworld 13/2/14

Just like buses all coming at once there were at least four shows on in town tonight that would have been good to go to. There are always going to be winners and losers when these sort of clashes occur… Continue Reading →

Behemoth, Cradle Of Filth, In Solitude, Inquisition & Svarttjern – London Forum 10/2/14

A more than heavyweight line-up for a Monday night going on here and needless to say that partly due to this and no doubt the strength on new Behemoth album ‘The Satanist’ the venue was pretty much sold out. I… Continue Reading →

Dripback – Failed Futures (4 Family Records)

Stone me I’m a luckier than a cat with a strawberry flavoured arse! I’ve had a run of really good albums to review recently and that has continues with the first full length record from North London caaaaaaants Dripback. I’ve… Continue Reading →

Therion & Arkona – London Islington Academy 20/12/13

Due to a combination of early doors and meeting up with people, for once I completely broke my own rule of trying to make sure I covered all the support bands by walking in just as the second of them… Continue Reading →

Carpathian Forest, The Rotted & Eastern Front – London Underworld 14/12/13

Well there were no worries about this one being empty and there was already a queue at the doors well before they opened and the few remaining tickets were quickly snapped up. For once the first support band were playing… Continue Reading →

Arcturus, Fen & From The Bogs Of Aughiska – London Islington Academy 13/12/13

It’s mental out there, trying to stop and have a quiet pint in the pub before the show was an impossibility as some classy boss has treated about 50 of his braying staff to their turkey nosebags in the Moons… Continue Reading →

Death Angel, Dew-Scented & Extrema – London Underworld 10/12/13

Wandering towards the door of The Underworld I began to wonder whether I’d got the night wrong. There wasn’t a single person milling about outside and certainly no queue. As I got to the ticket booth however, a dreadlockless Mark… Continue Reading →
