Local(ish) lads done good with this one. Fallen Ashes ply their trade around the central belt of Scotland and, though we've heard the name before, I don't think we've featured them. So thanks to the band for throwing new single "Wage War" in our direction for a bit of reviewing! The band label themselves "alternative … Continue reading Single Review: Fallen Ashes – Wage War

Album Review: Orphans of the Ash – Ellipsis

As Bernie Shaw stated early in the Uriah Heep set, there … Continue reading Gig Review: Judas Priest / Saxon / Uriah Heep – Hydro, Glasgow (11th March 2024)
Album Review: Aborted – Vault of Horrors
Two years after signing to Nuclear Blast, Belgian extreme metal pioneers Aborted make their full label debut... and what a way to pay back the faith that NB had in signing them.
