Haters gonna hate (apparently that's what the kids say these days), but Machine Head's The Burning Red turns 18 today. A contentious release for its nu-metal overtones (come on, it was recorded at the same time and in the same studio as Slipknot's debut - Joey Jordison is even on it...) and "that" video with … Continue reading Golden Oldies: Machine Head – The Burning Red

Golden Oldies: Mad Season – Above
The 5th April 2017 was the 15th anniversary of Alice in Chains' front man, Layne Staley, passing. His voice engulfed pain, a voice of confusion with acceptance as to who he was and where he was going. A voice I first heard in the early 90s in my grunge rock days. A sound perfect for … Continue reading Golden Oldies: Mad Season – Above
Golden Oldies: Death – Human
The granddaddies of death metal, founders of the genre, and destroyers of ear drums, Death, are back.

Golden Oldies: Paradise Lost – Shades of God
Rewind to 1992 and I was at university, where I was bathed in more metal than I had been up until that point in my life. With meeting new people from around the country as I settled in Bradford (for ten years longer than I originally intended) and with more disposable income, I encountered a … Continue reading Golden Oldies: Paradise Lost – Shades of God
