MetalDays 2018: Day 5

A quick band round-up today as I managed to rattle round all three stages a couple of times. I didn't get to the festival as early as I'd hoped as I was writing up the last couple of days' events! When I arrived, Saille were giving it large on the second stage, but I was focused … Continue reading MetalDays 2018: Day 5

Festival Review: Steelhouse 2018 – Friday

Up a mountain in south Wales, lies a farm. And for one weekend every year, it plays host to some of the best names in classic and modern rock. With a sensible asking price for three days of hard rock, people from all over the UK have made the trek up this now infamous mountain. … Continue reading Festival Review: Steelhouse 2018 – Friday

Gig Review: Ministry / Chelsea Wolfe – SWG3, Glasgow (18th July 2018)

GIANT INFLATABLE NAZI TRUMP CHICKENS! Glad to see we have your attention. This next part is best read in the movie voiceover guy’s voice...

MetalDays 2018: Days 3-4

With the main stage and second stage both kicking off on the Monday, I spent a fair bit of time getting a proper feel for Metal Days and surprisingly little watching bands! The already busy venue was obviously filling up even more, and the atmosphere got even better. It's impressive that some people had, by … Continue reading MetalDays 2018: Days 3-4

MetalDays 2018: Day 2 (Pre-festival)

A fairly short trip to the festival grounds today, partly due to continued inclement (shit) weather, and partly as I was simply bloody knackered after a walk/run to Tolmin Gorge earlier. I arrived just in time to see Membrance make a complete mess of the New Forces stage. Pretty much a local act, hailing from … Continue reading MetalDays 2018: Day 2 (Pre-festival)

MetalDays 2018: Day 1 (pre- pre-festival)

So Metal Days is advertised as being on July 22-28 this year. However, they open early (from the 18th) for those wanting to camp up and start the party. Music-wise, the first stage actually kicked into action on the 21st so, of course, we had to be there. Even though it was an additional €20! … Continue reading MetalDays 2018: Day 1 (pre- pre-festival)
