Alongside a strong double-headliner of Sabaton and Alestorm, Glasgow also recently played host to openers Bloodbound. Adding something special to the line-up they really got the party started with their mixture of traditional and power metal.

HammerFall sign to Napalm Records
This news has me bouncing a little bit for a couple of reasons. Mainly, I've not managed to catch HammerFall live as yet. They tend to turn up at festivals or play one-off UK shows in London.

Riffs evoke Led Zep, but the sound in this track at times made my mind wander in the direction of Rage Against The Machine. Definitely a … Continue reading Humm release new video / single
