Review: Bloodshot Dawn – Reanimation

Another band we've been following for some time is Bloodshot Dawn, purveyors of very heavy technical death/thrash. They recently released Reanimation, the follow-up to Demons but featuring a largely new line-up. Surviving founder member Josh McMorran wrote the songs, with the help of new bandmate Morgan Reid.

Review: Deconstructing Sequence – Cosmic Progression An Agonizing Journey Through Oddities of Space

It was 2013 when we first encountered Deconstructing Sequence here at Moshville Times - almost four and a half years ago now. At the time, they had only released their EP, Year One, though the three tracks on it still ran for almost 25 minutes.

Since then, there have been a few notable changes in … Continue reading Gig Review: Paramore / MeWithoutYou – Genting Arena, Birmingham (14th Jan 2018)

Review: Mortiferum – Altar of Decay

Doom/death metal seems to be having a bit of a revival at the moment culminating in bands appearing from nowhere and releasing stellar material. One such release is by Washington based band Mortiferum who have released their first demo amid high acclaim.

Review: Narcos Family Band – Pink Blues

Believe me when I say that the Narcos Family Band have already put 2018 on the map and yes, I know that technically this EP came out in the tail end of 2017 but I simply do not care. And, what a way to start, what an EP, what a band. If you are not … Continue reading Review: Narcos Family Band – Pink Blues
