Opinion

Ravenface is a name that keeps reoccurring in the metal scene and from what I witnessed tonight I know why. These guys may be young but they are as tight and musically skilled as a metal band that has had years of experience. Hitting off their set with ‘Deprogression’ it instantly catches …

Planetmosh gets up close and personal in the Chalet with Firebrand Super Rock , a bit too up close and personal haha. These guys were by far the most hilarious band I have ever interviewed, so get a good listen as to what really goes on behind the scenes of real …

I was privileged ,way back in 2005 whilst trudging around The Assembly Rooms in Derby during Bloodstock to stumble upon the U.K. debut gig of a then pretty much unknown Amon Amarth. Standing in a crowd of less than 100 people I remember being totally blown away by what I …

I had the pleasure of catching up with Mem Von Stein, vocalist from Exumer via email for this interview.   1. Prior to Exumer reforming, did Ray approach you or did you approach Ray? We were getting so much mail over the years and it really did not stop after …

Only just recently witnessed this band when supporting Evile on their UK tour. I saw them on the stage at HMV Ritz, making one hell of an impression. So it was a must for me to see them live again in the Hammerfest experience with a longer set. Their new …

I caught up with Hellhog and Wez4 from the band Dripback after their set on stage at Hammerfest IV to talk about their debut EP ‘Inhaling the Ashes’, their video for ‘Kick out time’, touring with Biohazard and playing at Hammerfest IV.   Check out their video for ‘Kick Out …

Friday night saw many a clash of stages with me for one being torn between which bands to go see first. However, given the interview I had undertaken earlier in the day, there was no question of me not heading over to Stage 2 to see Evil Scarecrow perform. They …

March 28th sees us at London’s Kentish Town Forum. The 2400 capacity venue is buzzing with excitement, as Rival Sons and Black Stone Cherry are set to give us a damn good night of rock.   Both support and main act are alike with their hard rock roots, but both …

I caught up with East Anglian band Elimination at Hammerfest IV to talk about their current album, touring with Triaxis, their most embarrassing moment to date as a band and Winchester.  Check it out.   Elimination are: Neil Stevens – Vocals Daz Abbott – Guitar Dave Spencer – Guitar Jus …

Opening the main stage on Saturday were British metal band Hell.  They’ve exploded onto the scene this year and were generally regarded as the best band at Bloodstock 2011 by many people, and their album Human Remains has been impressing a lot of people.  Tonight they had a full hour …

Tonights main attraction for many people was the mighty Anthrax.  Apart from large festival appearances they havent played much in the UK in recent years so this tour was always going to attract a lot of fans. They came on stage to the sounds of “Worship” from their latest album, …

Late on Friday afternoon after I had finished interviewing for the day I headed down to catch the remainder of Spirytus’s set. They start off the set with ‘Bullet Ride’ intro before launching  into ‘Qandahar’ and ‘Heaven’ Ryan banters away with the crowd in between songs; ‘Hot Stepper’ is rap …

After Inferno had warmed the crowd up, Kyrbgrinder took to the stage and changes the tempo.  I’m really disappointed as I only managed to catch the last few songs by the Kyrbgrinder due to interviews; however what I managed to catch was a krushing performance by the trio! If you …

I headed over to see Achren slay the stage 2 crowd straight after Paradise Lost finished their fantastic set. I arrived at Stage 2 just as Achren are finishing Aura, considering that Anthrax are due to come on and a lot of people are away to the toilets and/or bar …

I only managed to catch a few songs by this tremendous trio who are Inferno during their set in The Queen Vic at Hammerfest. I’ve seen them twice before so knew I was going to be in for a great time. I arrived just as they started off ‘Water Into …

First up were the oddly named pet slimmers of the year. Dear lord what idiot thought they were a good choice for tonight’s bill. They were a totally unsuitable choice musically and the lack of interest from the crowd during their frankly dull and tedious set was clear with them …

Opening up tonight’s proceedings are Heavy Metal Kids. They have a decent crowd and work there way through a hard rock, bluesy set with a hint of punk for good measure. Although the crowd are not all that lively (unfortunately, this is something that would continue through the night), they …

Planetmosh catches up with guitarist Scott Holiday. Get a insight on their new album and what festivals they will be making an appearance to.

Ravenface return to Hammerfest once again, last time we caught up with them and we had a drunken, vulgar display of body parts, I wonder what they have in store for us this time? :) Ravenface Interview
