Tthe website has been left unattended for a lot longer than I’ve wanted to, not so much due to laziness, but as I funnel my efforts into planinng a string of shows that will probably leave me more desensitised and burnt out than a Japanese businessman, somewhere along the line the...

Well surprise surprise, yet another band from Leeds that remind me yet again that A)I should probably buy my Damnation ticket B)Pretty much everything decent these days is from Yorkshire You’ll never guess which which label they’re signed to as well, that’s right, the label I...

If anyone remembers UK hardcore band crossbreaker, you’ll probably be aware that overnight they decided to stop being pissed off and regrouped under the name of Chain of Flowers so as to pursue a new musical avenue of worshipping Joy Division. Apparently they are not the only hardcore...

Out of all the bands I thought I would interview on this website, Grand Magus was never to be considered one of them simply due to the fact that they are pretty decent and this website is terrible. Needless to say frontman Janne “JB” Christoffersson was kind enough to spare some...

This just in – World of Shit in “Not writing about stoner or sludge” scandal.   Well not quite, the riff is still strong in this one, which is probably a necessity given there’s only two of them in this act. Another factoid, the drummer apparently plays for Bristol...

It seems like only last review I was making mention of Thirty Days of Night’s past track-record of signing a metric fucktonne of shoddy metalcore acts that ultimately fell apart the moment a better trend came around, oh wait, it was, Can I use the same introduction again? No?...

I remember when their debut was first emailed over to me, back when Witchhunter Records had about a third of the discography they have now, and although not my first venture into sludge by any means, it did ignite my urge to see what the UK had to offer with Sludge, and I haven’t really...

Sentinel describe themselves as a mix of post-metal, progressive and black metal, which on paper alone should be enough to not gently in agreement, let alone the fact that as of recently Americans seem to do Black-metal a whole lot better (and if Wolves in the Throne Room wasn’t proof...

Similar logic as the Top 10 Ep’s of 2012 article, only with albums.   1-Fukpig – 3 (Devizes Studios) It was meant to be released last year, only it was pushed back so it arrived with everyone start of January, thus securing it’s spot at the top of the list of 2012 albums...

  Last year I couldn’t really think of many EPs that I had listened to, this year apparently that was different and it took the best part of 10 minutes to figure which ones stood out above the crowd (at least in my view anyway). If you click the links it should send you to where you...

What do they play? Death Metal What are their songs about? Egyptian mythology by the looks of it How many of them are there? 4 Are they Nile? funnily enough, no   Merihim actually hail from Bristol,  I haven’t really been keeping up to date with what they’ve been up to as of...

I haven’t been around the South Wales music scene for long in the grand scheme of things, needless to say over the years I’ve most certainly witnessed countless local-events that shamelessly branded with the suffix “fest” or “stock” in order to make the...

It may not seem it, but frontrunners (albeit behind Kreator) of German Thrash Destruction have been about 30 years, a sizeable feet by any band’s standards (even more so given that some hardcore bands may not even make it past 2 years). They haven’t evolved much in that time, and...

Living only the other side of the bridge from Bristol a mere 50 minute journey away, the release of their debut E.P. Ritual Abuse isn’t the first time I’ve heard of Death-thrash outfit Seprevation. Fairly young in the scheme of things, Seprevation have only been gigging since since...

I saw them a few months back in Bristol with Aborted, and Decapitated were truly on top form, delivery a slap to the chops to all the naysayers who compare all Decapitated do to their iconic album Organic Hallucinosis (which although is a pretty good measuring stick, is also pretty backwards)....
