Tonight was going to be fun. The one thing with Combichrist that can be guaranteed is that they bring the most eclectic mix of support acts. The last time I saw them headline was back in 2012 at the now-closed Arches venue, and I recall the support being... variable in terms of quality. With three … Continue reading Gig Review: Combichrist / Extize / Crimson Veil / Esoterik – Slay, Glasgow (26th May 2025)

Gig Review: Uprising 2023 – O2 Academy, Leicester (29th April 2023)
It is always a special occasion, going to metal festivals, but going to Uprising for the first time is a real highlight of the festival year for me! I started the day as I always do - waiting for Shells, who characteristically runs late. I’ve not been to the O2 Academy in Leicester before and … Continue reading Gig Review: Uprising 2023 – O2 Academy, Leicester (29th April 2023)

Combichrist / Filter / Rabia Sorda, Glasgow O2 ABC2 (30th June 2016)
So I’m a few songs late catching tonight's openers, Rabia Sorda, due to interviewing Andy from Combichrist, but get out to watch most of a very intense and enjoyable set in front of a good sized crowd. I will say, judging by the crowd’s reaction, that a number of fans here tonight know the band … Continue reading Combichrist / Filter / Rabia Sorda, Glasgow O2 ABC2 (30th June 2016)
