It feels like it’s been an age since my last gig at Moshville Winter Fest. However as our first gig proved, some of the best metal to be found is in the underground. You never know who’s stomping your local scene til you do some digging, then events like tonight’s gathering feel a little more … Continue reading Gig Review: Hellripper / Devastator / Insurgency / Tyrannus / Night Fighter – The Flying Duck, Glasgow (11th February 2023)
