To make sure that we covered every band playing (and there were a lot), Topher joined Katie to immerse himself in a sweaty metal venue for two days... Hard Rock Hell events are widely known around the country for being packed out and well organised. The 17th and 18th February was the no frills “Metal” event in Birmingham’s … Continue reading Gig Review: HRH Metal (Topher’s View) – O2 Academy Birmingham (17-18 Feb 2018)

Winter Storm 2017 Review: Friday
Troon isn’t the first place you’d think of to hold a rock festival, much less in November. Thankfully, this is indoors so you don’t have to deal with the climate unless dashing to and from your car or accommodation for the weekend. Now in its second year and boasting an arguably even better line-up than … Continue reading Winter Storm 2017 Review: Friday

The first band I caught was Ronnie James Dio stage openers Ghost Bath (7). I only saw the end of their set … Continue reading Bloodstock 2016 – Sunday (Sean’s view)

Harsh, screeching vocals are Visions of Disfigurement’s way to introduce themselves to everyone. Describing themselves as “slamming death metal”, they certainly have…colourful lyrics. Just one listen of “Fecaluria” will ensure that you’ll never forget some of the images they conjure up. Drums come at a breakneck pace and work well in tandem with the down … Continue reading Bloodstock 2016 – Sunday (Ross’s view)
