See: Kagoule unveil new video for ‘It knows it’
It’s almost a year since we paid a visit to Kagoule – since then the trio have made significant waves – Glastonbury, support slots with Temples, Merchandise, Drenge, METZ, Iceage, touring with The Wytches and God Damn – it’s certainly been happening for the Notts teenagers, yes teenagers, young, but very, very talented. And the story just keeps …
See: Black Label Society announce 2015 UK/European tour dates
These are out now, so you need to be quick. Hard rocking quartet Black Label Society, aka former Ozzy Osbourne guitarist Zakk Wylde along with Dario Lorina (Guitar), John DeServio (Bass) and Jeff Fabb (Drums), arrive in the UK next year for 8 dates, starting off at Glasgow O2 before heading through London’s Roundhouse, ending …
Track: Marilyn Manson returns with new music – Third Day Of A Seven Day Binge
It’s been two and a half years since there were stirrings that sounded like new music from camp Manson. 2012’s Born Villain received primarily positive reviews, however over recent years, fans (or ex-fans) and critics alike were beginning to question if Marilyn Manson had lost his shock-factor. We’re talking about an artist who was blamed …
Album Review: Atomikylä – Erkale
Dark, deranged, desolate and darkness are all words that came to mind listening to this first album from Atomikyla, a Finnish band comprising former members of Dark Buddha Rising and Oranssi Pazuzu. All this was before the death growl came in at around nine and a half minutes into the first track, ‘Alkuaineet’, marking the point …
LIVE: Lonely The Brave / Marmozets / Allusondrugs- Corporation, Sheffield 13.10.2014
What could be better to blow away the Monday blues than three great up-and-coming bands in a tiny little room in Sheffield? Well, nothing would be the answer to that. Drenched in sweat and kicking Monday into touch, Allusondrugs, Lonely The Brave and Marmozets prove why they deserve to be selling out venues so early …
News: Bruce Springsteen to release The Album Collection Vol. 1 1973-1984
For some reason I can’t help liking Bruce Springsteen. For all his bluster, forced blue-collar worthiness and questionable career moves, his heart always seems to be in the right place. Springsteen is one of those musicians who has been periodically rediscovered by new generations of music fans, as his influence has flowed down through the …
News: Slipknot Announce UK Tour In January
As the tour name itself states, Prepare For Hell… because Slipknot are coming to the UK in January! On their first UK tour since that in support of their 2008 album, All Hope Is Gone, Slipknot will head out across not only England, Scotland and Wales, but Ireland as well. This tour is the bands …
See: Canterbury announce split after December shows
Always one of the more interesting metal bands on the scene, it appears that sadly the Basingstoke quartet are calling time on their seven year career, making this years ‘Dark Days’ album as their last. It means that at least they went out on something of a high, with the album reaching number one in …
News: Max Raptor Hit The UK Next Week! Full tour dates here
Take a moment and ask yourself, if something was described as ‘crazy’, would you be intrigued? If the answer is yes (which, given the basic human desire for knowledge, then it should be), ask yourself, if a band had been labelled as having the ‘craziest mosh pit at Sonisphere festival 2014’, would you not want …
New Music: Pjaro – Swordface
The first time I saw Pjaro was when they were supporting Joie De Vivre about 3 years ago. At this point they were just two abnormally mature looking teenagers playing an off-kilter muscular version of math-rock which people their age had no right being able to do. It was weird, slightly depressing (if they were …
