Anyone present on the Saturday night in 2021’s Bloodstock Festival would have been assured that the leaders of German thrash metal were still very much relevant to metal in 2021. A fearsome show that scooped set of the weekend for me, Kreator were in blistering form. Roll forward nearly 12 months and we now get … Continue reading Album Review: Kreator – Hate Űber Alles

Gig Review: Bryan Adams – Hydro, Glasgow (23rd May 2022)
It's not often you get a concert with no support act, and I have a feeling with a doors opening time of 6:30 that perhaps there was one planned but for some reason the decision was made to make this a one-act tour. The main event kicked off a little after 8pm so there was … Continue reading Gig Review: Bryan Adams – Hydro, Glasgow (23rd May 2022)

The latest release, Cancer Culture, is a far cry from their debut Winds of Creation, and yet underneath both albums, the desire of founder member Wacław "Vogg" Kiełtyka (guitar) burns … Continue reading Album Review: Decapitated – Cancer Culture
Album Review: Evergrey – A Heartless Portrait (The Orphean Testament)
I’ve got a soft spot for the Gothenburg outfit led by the amazing Tom S. Englund. I’ve never really devoted enough time to dive deep into their extensive catalogue, but when I do cross paths with them, I always enjoy their work. They are captivating live, polished and professional with heart and passion that makes … Continue reading Album Review: Evergrey – A Heartless Portrait (The Orphean Testament)
