I’m a great believer that when you go to a gig you should make every effort to see and support every band on the bill… but, sometimes circumstances conspire against you. And so it was that, due to a scheduling conflict, as Belfast’s own Overoth (pictured left) took to the …

Friday night saw fans from around the world gathering at the Oktoberhallen in Wieze just outside the Belgian town of Aalst for a weekend of female fronted metal bands. As always the lineup had plenty of variety, from symphonic metal to Japanese metal, to Thrash, a Doom and more.  MFVF …

There’s an old saying that all good things must, eventually, come to an end, and so it is that, after a run of 11 years, Firefest this year (apparently) threw its final fling, with a combination of established favourites who had graced its stage over the past decade or so, …

This year’s Damnation Festival marks ten years of extreme metal chaos at Leeds University. Hard to believe it has only been ten years. There have been many interesting line ups for this fest and a few surprises over the years (namely Carcass when they had their “last ever re-union show”) …

The 10th Damnation festival (which is already totally sold out!) is coming up rapidly and so in very few days the marathon of metal in Leeds will begin. Many visitors will go there for at least one of the headlining bands – Bolt Thrower, Cannibal Corpse or Saint Vitus. Some …

Bloodshot Dawn have just completed the three-date Irish leg of their tour supporting their just-released second album, ‘Demons’ (reviewed here:  http://planetmosh.com/bloodshot-dawn-demons/).  Following the third and final night in Belfast, your intrepid PM interviewer ventured into the rather chaotic dressing room to share a beer and a chat with the band’s …

Opening …

Bast will be the first band playing on the Eyesore Merch stage in the Damnation festival in Leeds already in less than a week. The band is truly looking forward to this festival and so do the fans as the festival is selling out the tickets very well. Let’s see …

We don’t celebrate Sundays? What’s not to celebrate when Nashville Pussy are in town?! I’d heard great things about this band so I was more than happy to head into Manchester for a Sunday gig at The Roadhouse, a small basement venue on Newton Street, conveniently near to Manchester Piccadilly …

Junkstars were first up, a young Swedish band. They got a slightly mixed reception – while quite a large percentage of the crowd clearly enjoyed their set, it was noticeable that there were others who weren’t keen, possibly because of the punk edge to their rock music.  I personally enjoyed …

It’s a busy Friday night in Glasgow, and I find myself on Sauchiehall Street lined with hundreds of restaraunts serving food from around the world, trendy wine bars and fantastic shops. But none of these things interest me this evening. The mass of bodies snaking away from the from door …

  This year Fallujah released their Herculean effort,  ‘The Flesh Prevails’.  Bassist Robert Morey was kind enough to give PlanetMosh some time to discuss the album, the upcoming European tour (buy your neck braces and reinforce your sphincters ahead of time) and more.  1.The new album The Flesh Prevails has been …

Following an interview with Massive that didn’t happen due to a broken down van and other media hogging our slot, we found ourselves with an even better slot a few days later, interviewing the whole band inside the famous (or infamous depending upon your experience) The Crobar in London. Amid …

I caught up with Dan, vocalist for Bury Tomorrow, before their show at the Bierkeller in Bristol for a quick chat where we discussed the new album Runes, playing Download Festival this year and why Pantera are a kid’s gateway to metal…
