Sean’s Bloodstock 2017 review: Sunday

The final day was upon us. The last day of Bloodstock 2017 had another roster of the best heavy metal to satiate the appetites of the baying hordes of metal maniacs. The only breakfast in mind for the hungry fans was a tasty combination of pounding drums, rumbling bass, thrashing guitars and screeching vocals.

Mosh’s Bloodstock 2017 “Best Of” – Ronnie James Dio (main) Stage

It's been a few days, the exhaustion is starting to subside, but I still have some great memories of this year's Bloodstock kicking around that I need to throw out to you lot before they disappear in the vague mesh of neurons that make up my old age. A mesh that took a battering last … Continue reading Mosh’s Bloodstock 2017 “Best Of” – Ronnie James Dio (main) Stage

Classic Covers – Megadeth’s “Holy Wars”… Flametal style!

Golden Oldies: Megadeth – Rust in Peace

[Note - I've actually done this album before, but with the passing of Nick Menza I've listened to it a lot again recently and fancied doing another take on my original article from two years ago] The idea to re-cover this album returned to the front of my mind last month when we heard of the … Continue reading Golden Oldies: Megadeth – Rust in Peace

Review: Megadeth – Dystopia

This is going to be pretty much a train of though review (rather than "Train of Consequences" because... erm... that's on another album) simply as I've not had the album long, it's coming out in a couple of days so I want to get this published and I've struggled to stop listening to it since I … Continue reading Review: Megadeth – Dystopia
