One of my favourite things about Inferno Festival is the associated conference which sees movie screenings, guitar/drum clinics and various discussions on different aspects of the music industry. On day two I was off to the hotel cinema, beer in hand to watch RocKabul. RocKabul is a documentary about Afghanistan's first metal band, District Unknown, … Continue reading Festival Review: Inferno Norway 2018 Day 2

Festival Review: Inferno Norway 2018 Day 1
The arrival of the Easter holidays meant that it was time to pack my bags and head to Oslo for this year's sold-out edition of Inferno Metal Festival.

Gig Review: Cannibal Corpse / Man Must Die – Limelight 2, Belfast (22nd March 2018)
Scotland’s Man Must Die were the support for the three Irish dates of the Cannibal Corpse tour. Lead vocalist Joe McGlynn is an imposing figure, commanding the crowd from the second they hit the stage.

Gig Review: Paradise Lost / Outshine – Limelight, Belfast (20th Feb 2018)
Support on the UK and Irish dates came from Sweden’s Outshine. With rich vocals reminiscent of Type O Negative, frontman Tony Jelencovich held the audience captive throughout the band's set. Outshine treated the Belfast crowd to a fine performance of their old and new material, with their dark, melancholic gothic tunes paving the way for … Continue reading Gig Review: Paradise Lost / Outshine – Limelight, Belfast (20th Feb 2018)
