Pirate metal has become a bit of a "thing" in recent years, and Lagerstein are one of the biggest up-and-comers. They've managed it through hard graft and, as of their appearance at Wacken, they still had 55 dates across Europe to go before returning home. Thankfully, they can back up this hard work with some … Continue reading Album Review: Lagerstein – 25/7

Festival Review: Wacken XXX Day 1
Wacken. One of the largest metal festivals on Earth. And this is my first visit, alongside Mark who's covering photos this year. It's also their 30th anniversary. Are we excited? Hell, yes! Wednesday is a "light" day, the calm before the storm, if you will. We drove past the huge queue of traffic waiting to … Continue reading Festival Review: Wacken XXX Day 1

Lagerstein, Red Rum, Viking Galaxy, Mantis Toboggan – Glasgow Garage G2, 29th Sept 2017
This was always going to be a good night. A nice, small venue and three bands known for their sense of humour and musical talent. Oh, wait... four bands. I had no idea that Glasgow would be featuring Viking Galaxy in addition to the three bands who'd played Bannermans in Edinburgh the night before. Bonus! … Continue reading Lagerstein, Red Rum, Viking Galaxy, Mantis Toboggan – Glasgow Garage G2, 29th Sept 2017
