Album Review: Fear Factory – Recoded

2021’s Aggression Continuum reminded sceptics that there was still plenty in the Fear Factory tank. It was a brutally aggressive album, and one that still gets regular plays a year later.

Crew Review 2021: Mosh (the Big Kahuna)

Ugh. Where do we start? 2021 was a horrible mess, filled with cancelled gigs, political garbage (more so than ever before) and climaxed with one of the worst Christmas number one singles in living memory.

A band of that quality is … Continue reading Bloodstock 2016 – Saturday (Ross and James’s view)

Bloodstock 2016 – Saturday (Sean’s view)

Waking up on the second day of the festival after a day of great heavy metal was surprisingly energetic and not hungover (maybe it was for some though). After a nice morning cup of tea to prepare us for another day of metal, the Moshville crew got stuck in. First band of the day opening … Continue reading Bloodstock 2016 – Saturday (Sean’s view)
