INCITE deliver tried-and-true metal on ‘Up In Hell’ that fearlessly examines everything around them.  Richie states, “We’re a real band. We’ve busted our …

To start, I have to say that I love the sense of community that exists among metal fans.  I’ve been to a huge number of concerts and festivals, and at the metal or rock ones there’s virtually no trouble – no drunken fights, no aggro, and no people dying from …

.@Planetmosh @Anybody reviews “R.I.B.” by @tankardofficial released via @nuclearblasteu If there was a contest for the album title of the year Tankard could definitely be a candidate with their new album “R.I.B.” (“Rest In Beer”).  These German metallers are well-known to thrash metal lovers since the early eighties. With 15 full-length albums since then already under …

It appeared that someone from on high looked down with a smile on the second day of Hellfest – because the beginning of the third and final day was cloud cover and a drop in the temperature, with even a small amount of rainfall during the morning as well. It quickly transpired …

>The morning after the night before, and there were some very hungover faces walking through the campsite and the odd couple who looked like they hadn’t gone to bed yet. They probably hadn’t either. Still, Day 2 of Hellfest was upon us, the sun was shining again and there were …

With an estimated 138,000 people passing through the gates this year across the weekend, it’s clear that Hellfest is bigger than ever. Planetmosh took a trip across the pond to get a taste of the ‘ooh-la-laAAARGH’ at France’s biggest rock festival… With six stages operating a ‘three on, three off’ …

One More Body is the first single from (Hed)p.e‘s forthcoming new album release ‘Evolution’ “In a time when so many bands are playing it safe and going through the motions, whether it be out of fear of failure or lack of new ideas, (Hed)p.e. embraces change and “Evolves” with their …

Final day of Hellfest :( which we have been affectionately calling ‘Dustfest’ this year due to the amount of dust that is being churned up from the parched earth. It’s even hotter today but is overcast on the way into the festival and we do get a 4 minute long shower …

I arrived slightly late today as our coach had a oil problem then we hit a few traffic jams as we headed back to the festival so I went straight in to my first interview with the lovely Julien from Mars Red Sky. Click here to hear the interview. I …

The over-riding question which immediately springs to mind – as it inevitably does with any act with a pedigree stretching back some 45 years, plus a back catalogue which is one of the most iconic and influential in heavy metal – is “are Judas Priest still relevant today?”.  It is …

It is unusual to focus on just one moment in a bands career, but Neil Daniels does just that with his latest book release, Let It Rock: The Making of Bon Jovi’s Slippery When Wet. This book is an unashamed celebration of the landmark album Slippery When Wet; Bon Jovi’s …

With under 30 day go until the 25th Wacken and with bands like Accept being added to the line up last month the excitement is starting to build. I was last there in 2012 the year of torrential rain so I’m hoping this year it’ll be different. There has been …

This just released debut album by the three lads from Neath in Wales, is in my opinion just exceptional !!!  Packed full of veracious old school classic rockin riff’s straight from the U.K.’s very own West coast, these guys I’m sure could out rock the very best the U.S. could possibly produce! …

I returned to Hellfest for the third time, but this year the advance weather forecast promises sun instead of rain! Well, it was correct and we now affectionately call it Dustfest due to the amount of dust being churned up from the parched arena! First impressions of the new changes to …

I arrive at Hellfest on a scorching sunny day which is unusual as it’s normally overcast/rainy on the Friday when I arrive. After checking in for my pass, I head around the new layout taking in all the improvements that have been made since last year.What a difference there is with …

Tarja released “Colours in the dark” last year, and is now following that with “Left in the dark”.  Rather than being a new album, it’s a collection of alternate versions of songs from the album, single B sides etc.  “Left in the dark” was originally only available as an option …

Dear recipient, you are cordially invited to an experience brought to you by 5 hallions from Northern Ireland known as the “House On Haunted Hill.” Enter if you dare, you have been warned! This 3 track EP from Northern Irish Metal band, Conjuring Fate has been a long awaited piece …
