According to historical records, pirates (at least in their commonly perceived historical incarnation) may have sailed into many ports but they never quite ventured as far north as Britain – and certainly never as far as the shores of what, at that time, would have been Carrickfergus Bay. However, British …

@louelladeville_ @planetmosh review of @antinowhere and #DeadObjectives @MancAcademy It was a miserable evening as I battled the traffic heading to Manchester Academy 3 to see the Anti-Nowhere League (ANL), but it didn’t deter a long queue of gig goers for the adjacent Academy 1. Whilst it wasn’t the first time …

A miserable wet Friday  helped set the atmosphere for  In Solitude‘s Dublin date with support from the mighty Beastmilk. The smell of incense filled the air to alert the senses that this wasn’t to be a standard metal gig. Opening proceedings was solo act Daniel Bay, who, as a replacement …

Grass roots is where it starts with hard slogging, vans breaking down, sleeping in the van, getting sick of Subway or living off Pot Noodles; the hotels and catering of the arenas are the thing of dreams. Tonight’s headliners The Treatment have had a taste of that dream touring with …

Back in February I went along to the O2 ABC in Glasgow as a Planetmosh newcomer, wondering what to expect as I reviewed the first Glasgow gig by southern rockers Blackberry Smoke.  I said in that review I hoped they came back soon as it was one of the best live …

It’s very rarely that PlanetMosh finds itself in a room filled with plush velvet-covered armchairs and rich mahogany woodwork, adjacent to a bar that serves the most expensive cocktail in these islands – a Mai Tai which will set you back a mere £1,000!  Yet, here we are:  nestled in one …

Tuesdays are always quite a tough night to fill an venue, and this was evident tonight as Rock City’s basement was still a bit sparse as local Nottingham band Enormity Falls take the stage. Opening acts have a rough time drawing a crowd but that mattered not to these lads …

Damnation festival is one of the most known metal indoors festivals in UK, happening every autumn. As every year, the very first November weekend metalheads meet up in Leeds for the short, one day indoors heavy feast. This year among many well known and sound names, there are several less …

American technical death metallers Revocation are busy and productive as never before at this very moment: their new album “Deathless“ recently faced the daylight under the new, Metal Blade Records roof, as well as guys will hit the road for the tour soon and of course, will visit autumn most …

Tonight’s gig was one I’d been looking forward to since it was first announced – the only UK show on the current Flying colors tour.  As with their previous tour, it’s a short European tour with just one UK date, and having missed them on their last tour, then I …

Taking a tip off from a fellow photographer from Australia, I found myself at Camden barfly to see Aussie Prog band Voyager. First up was an interview with guitarist Scott Kay, who I got talking about other Australian bands and influences outside of music, which you can listen to HERE. …

.@destruction , @EvilInvadersBE , @LostSocietyFI show reviewed by @AnybodyBC for @Planetmosh The Thrash metal party was back in town! The heavy armada of thrash metallers hit the Glasgow on the perfect time – Friday’s evening. Audio club was sweating, moshing, drinking loads of beer and and totally destroying the place …

Ferry Damen, Vocalist & Guitarist from AntropomorphiA takes the time out to talk about their latest album ‘Rite Ov Perversion’ For anyone who has not heard of Antropomorphia, when and where was the band formed and how many original members are in the current line up? AntropomorphiA’s inception lies in …

Moments prior to their first ever London show, we caught up with Scott Kay, the guitarist with Australian prog rock band Voyager to talk Australian influences, teachers, first gigs and more. You can hear that interview below:  

There’s nothing like a Black Veil Brides concert to make you feel old.  Arriving at the venue, there was a long queue outside, with a large number of teenagers- in fact other than a few parents who had clearly been dragged along to the gig with their young daughters, there …

Today was the first FemMe (Female Metal Event), a one day festival held in Eindhoven and featured Asrai, La Ventura, Adeia, TheName, Revengin, Skeptical Minds, Izegrim and Mayan as well as a fashion show from designer Ingeborg Steenhorst. The day started off with the fashion show, probably the first time …

I spoke to James Toseland just before his gig at Manchester Academy. Find out what it’s like touring with an old pro like Sebastian Bach, how he met wife Katie Melua and what’s in store: – I saw you earlier this year at this same venue supporting Sebastien Bach. How …

@louelladeville @Planetmosh interview with Sponge from @electricriver I chatted to Sponge, front-man for Electric River, before they opened for Toseland at Manchester Academy on 30th September 2014. Find out a bit more about the band, how they came up with name and what’s coming next: – Whose idea was it …

Tuesday night saw the debut Scottish gig by Aussie rockers Massive, along with Buffalo Summer and The Treatment.  I caught up with Brad and Jarrod from Massive before the gig for a chat.  Then we went off to the pub, and I was made official band photographer for one night …

I recently met up with Hannes (vocals) and Ande (guitar) from Kissin’ Dynamite, to talk about their new album, Megalomania – check out our review.  We talked about how their sound has changed, recording the album, tour plans and more.  Hear what they had to say using the player below… …
