There is no denying that Australian heavy metal is a force to be reckoned with over here in the UK. In recent times I've had the pleasure of throwing down and getting crazy in the pit with top-notch Aussie bands such as Thy Art Is Murder, Feed Her To The Sharks, King Parrot and the … Continue reading The Amity Affliction/Northlane/Stray From The Path/Wage War – Glasgow 02 ABC, 8th Dec 2016

Triaxis & Primitai / Titan Breed / Scintilla – Ivory Blacks, Glasgow (10th December 2016)
Ivory Blacks is not one of my normal venues I must admit. In contrast to the vast majority of other venues I've visited this year, I've only been there 3 times this year and those times have been at the beginning, middle and now the end of the year. It's not a bad venue and … Continue reading Triaxis & Primitai / Titan Breed / Scintilla – Ivory Blacks, Glasgow (10th December 2016)

Still buzzing from the Glasgow Academy gig (reviewed by James) and the vibrant after-party … Continue reading Bullet For My Valentine / Killswitch Engage / Cane Hill – Inverness Ironworks, 1st Dec 2016
