Opinion

First band up tonight was Skam a three piece hard rock band. They had a very energetic performance style with intense grooves and bluesy riffs, they deliver a sound holding true to British Rock and Roll. Steve Hill is definitely a member to mention, he is highly entertaining to watch with his very ballsy persona on stage. X-Ray …

I caught up with Steve the singer and guitarist from the UK band Black Rose after Hammerfest IV to ask how they enjoyed playing at the festival and what 2012 has in store for the band.   For those that have not seen you play before, could you tell me …

Despite the Intrepid Fox being my favourite pub in London this was surprisingly my first time reviewing one of their newly resurrected live music nights, for those of you unfamiliar with venue the live music takes place upstairs on a new recently installed larger stage whilst the normal bar is …

  Well where to start? I’m on the train to Destroyers of the Faith at the ABC in Glasgow. I am bricking it as in a few hours I shall be interviewing Paul from Cannibal Corpse. No drinking for me yet, must be professional and not fan girl. Also on …

I managed to steal a bit of Joakim and Jonathan’s time before their sold out Underworld show, to talk about how the band was formed and stuff ;)    

I was lucky enough to get the chance to talk to the guys from Lawnmower Deth before their performance on the second stage at Hammerfest last weekend.  As you’d expect they’re a fun bunch and were happy to talk about the band, their relationship with Guitarist (Sabbat & Hell) and …

I was very fortunate to catch up with David Bower, Tony Speakman and Tim Bowler of resurrected metal lords HELL to talk about what they have been up to since December (I mistakenly said when they played with Saxon, sorry) future recordings and other interesting stuff so here you go have a little look… [youtube=”http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lRDe68R-M78″]

For those of you who turned up at Stage 2 on Friday expecting to see Pagan Alter, you may have been a bit surprised to see Fury (who were called into replace them at short notice) and what a set it was. If you haven’t see Fury before I thoroughly …

Skindred headlined Hammerfest 4 on Saturday and for those of you that were there I’m sure you’ll agree it was an epic show. Prior to their set, Sheila and I caught up with the lovely Michael Fry (a.k.a Mikeydemus – guitar and backing vocal) and discussed their latest album Union …

I was really looking forward to tonight, and it certainly ended up being a night to remember, but not particularly for the right reasons!   First support for Killing Joke was an American band, The Crying Spell, from Seattle.  Fronted by the incredibly tall and charismatic Len Hotrum they took …

I’ve never been to The Wedgewood Rooms in Portsmouth before and was eager to see what the venue was like and also to see how big the crowd turnout was, as I’ve never imagined there to be a huge metal scene. However as I walked down the quiet streets not …

Interview with vocalist, Dale from Malefice. I was lucky enough to have a chat with him before their second show of their current UK tour at The Wedgewood Rooms in Portsmouth. We discuss how the tour’s going and their new album ‘Awaken the Tides’ alongside many other topics such as the arrival …

Released February 2012 by Diptera Records I am a huge fan of Ebonillumini, Worms of Sabnock and Meads of Asphodel, so being personally asked by Chalice to review this split EP by Ebonillumini an Worms of Sabnock is a real honour. The Ep consists of four Ebonillumini tracks and six Worms of …
