King Dude, The Death Letter, Markers – London The Black Heart 16/3/15

Claudio Simonetti’s Goblin Perform Profondo Rosso – London Barbican 21/2/15

Well this place is certainly not one of our normal dives for going to see bands. That’s not just what we are doing tonight here either as we will be watching a film too. 50 Shades Of Grey is showing… Continue Reading →

Primordial, Winterfylleth, Portrait & Malthusian – London Islington Academy 7/2/15

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 →

Inter Arma, MANTAR, Satanic Dystopia – London, Black Heart 1/12/14

Hailing from ‘THE NORTH’, it’s difficult not to immediately fall in love with Satanic Dystopia as soon as they take the stage. Decked out in balaclavas and sunglasses, and looking like a poor man’s Midnight, they put on a performance… Continue Reading →

Hooded Menace, Dragged Into Sunlight, Resurgency, Wounded Kings, Decrepid & Uncoffined – London Dome 8/11/14

The skies biblically open just before Uncoffined start up a night of ritual death and funeral rites in style getting everyone outside scuttling into the venue to get immediately flattened by their chunky cavernous sound. Drummer and vocalist Kat Shevil… Continue Reading →

Conan, 11Paranoias, GHOLD & Torpor – London Underworld 30/10/14

Pentagram Chile, Ravens Creed, Craven Idol, Hybris & Ataud – London Purple Turtle 2/8/14

South American styled, savage black thrashing madness fills the venue at the ungodly time of 4.30 as 1st band Ataud kick this show off. Unlike the others on the bill this lot are completely new to me but the trio… Continue Reading →
