Gig Review: Judas Priest / Saxon / Uriah Heep – Hydro, Glasgow (11th March 2024)

What a night, and what an honour to be the opening show for Judas Priest's mammoth Invincible Shield world tour. And what a support package, with two fellow long-timers in tow to get the crowd rocking prior to the leather-clad headliners taking to the stage. As Bernie Shaw stated early in the Uriah Heep set, there … Continue reading Gig Review: Judas Priest / Saxon / Uriah Heep – Hydro, Glasgow (11th March 2024)

Album Review: Aborted – Vault of Horrors

Two years after signing to Nuclear Blast, Belgian extreme metal pioneers Aborted make their full label debut... and what a way to pay back the faith that NB had in signing them. In fairness, the band have been flaying skin and taking no prisoners for just under 30 years now, but to be able to … Continue reading Album Review: Aborted – Vault of Horrors

Gig Review: Hawxx / BEX / Fighting Colours – The Prince Albert, Brighton (3rd March 2024)

The Prince Albert is my favourite pub in Brighton, what with its friendly staff, ‘right on’ rainbow and St. Pauli flags, and funny sandwich boards. They are currently serving a particularly fine porter too, worryingly referred as a ‘breakfast porter’! Look, it’s not for me to judge but, if you’re drinking strong ale for breakfast … Continue reading Gig Review: Hawxx / BEX / Fighting Colours – The Prince Albert, Brighton (3rd March 2024)

Gig Review: RØRY / Uninvited / lleo – Manchester Academy 2 (5th March 2024)

On the 6th night of RØRY‘s UK tour, Manchester Academy 2 witnessed a night that was highly conscious of mental health. Tonight’s set from TikTok sensation RØRY might not have been as musically heavy as the bands we usually cover for Moshville Times, but the evening delved into some heavy and hard-hitting subjects, including substance … Continue reading Gig Review: RØRY / Uninvited / lleo – Manchester Academy 2 (5th March 2024)
