Report: Metal 2 The Masses Launch Party, Manchester Rebellion (27th January 2019)

Catching four of the bands from the launch yesterday was a great return to the local live scene for 2019 for me. Each band played a 30 minute set to an expectant mass of Manc Metalheads. Even though this was not the competition it was as if every band laid down a gauntlet for the … Continue reading Report: Metal 2 The Masses Launch Party, Manchester Rebellion (27th January 2019)
