It has been a while since I attended a gig on a Saturday night, and was rather worried about the 6 o’clock start, but I should not have, as traffic was far lighter than it is during the week, along… Continue Reading →
One-man industrial doom metal act, Author & Punisher, hit the The Underworld on a suitably foggy Wednesday night, bringing France’s Treha Sektori and local lads, Shitwife, into the mix of the second evening of a 16-date European tour. Original opening… Continue Reading →
Some call it Rocktober, I call it silly season. Apart from this sterling show London also has Ufomammut playing with Jex Thoth and Cruachan with Ereb Altor on tonight. Doubtless there are others on elsewhere too. Tough choices but short… Continue Reading →
Walking down into the depths of The Underworld was relatively easy this evening. Perhaps owing to Paradise Lost playing a couple blocks away and Annihilator a couple miles away. Either way it allowed for it to be a rather intimate… Continue Reading →
It was beginning to look like Celeste were never going to play the capital; despite having visited pretty much every other major city, the French post-hardcore four-piece seemed to shy away from London. After playing Brighton’s ‘This is Your Last… Continue Reading →

Such is the multi-genre billing tonight, I expected a larger crowd than what actually turned up, but not withstanding a late showing of the openers Evil Invaders, the venue was set alight from their opening notes. There are bands that… Continue Reading →
What surprised the hell out of me was walking into the venue shortly before half past seven, only to find it very quiet and rather empty. At half past Metasoma took to the stage to warm up the venue and… Continue Reading →
There’s a barricade up in front of the stage tonight which is a rarity but it’s probably for the audience’s safety as much as the bands as nobody wants to get on the wrong side of Marduk’s vocalist Mortuus. It… Continue Reading →
