PlanetMosh Keeping it Metal

Formed in the heart of London in 2010, Diaries Of A Hero feature: Carlo Del Favero lead vocals and guitar, Jonathan Weeks on guitar, Matteo Bevilaqua bass and backing vocals and Leonard Berisha on drums. Diaries Of A Hero brought a whole new game to the British alternative metalcore scene …

I first heard Arthemis when they played the 2nd Hammerfest festival in deepest darkest wales back in March of 2010, and for me they were one of the bands of the weekend, they then played Hammerfest number 4 and 5 before finally playing Hammerfest’s sister festival, HardRockHell at the back …

    Now before we start, I realise that a good percentage of the Metal fraternity, may not necessarily be huge fans or followers of the Blackened Death Metal sub genre, I myself , sort of fell into it via the Depressive Suicidal Black Metal and Doom route but as …

One of a reviewer’s favourite dreams – and, in equal measure, worst nightmares – is to occasionally stumble across a band who are difficult, if not downright impossible, to categorize. Such an outfit are Parisien quartet Dot Legacy, and this eclectic self-titled debut, which veers between post-rock synchopation, stoner, ambient …

.@Planetmosh @AnybodyBC review ‘Nemesis’ by @Protafield out via @carolinemusic Some bands tend to appear just out of nowhere. The last time I have got this feeling, it was with the British band called Protafield. Not much information on the Internet, the official website currently is not working and only some …

This debut album from upstart Italians Black Gremlin certainly lives up to its name, in that it’s raw – not surprising, since the quartet recorded its seven songs live in one day, and using a traditional 8-track reel-to-reel tape deck. The result is a heady little collection of songs that …

One of the hardest working bands on the Northern Ireland scene, this debut full-length album from Baleful Creed is actually an amalgamation of the quartet’s three previous EPs bound together in one package. BC’s stoner-edged doom sound is very much rooted in the foundation of Black Sabbath – something for …

I recently spoke to singer Elin Larsson, and guitarist Dorian Sorriaux from Blues Pills, a band that’s been making a name for themselves since they released their debut EP late last year.  The band are set to release their debut album in late July.  Hear what they had to say …

Local lads Chris Appleton and Martin McNee along with bandmate Dan Bate from Absolva did just that at Sound Control Manchester. With new album Anthems To …

Breakout Los Angeles rock n’ roll outfit SINNER SINNERS and Jesse Hughes of renowned California rock band Eagles of Death Metal recently teamed to perform a cover of  the EODM track “I Want You So Hard” for a live performance music video.  “I Want You So Hard” was the first …

This is the first album from the Kings of New Orleans Sludge in fourteen years. In that time the band has been through the ringer and still managed to keep a profile alive throughout the underground. EHG is an incestuous outfit with members playing for other high profile bands such …

Absolva announce headline European Tour Dates for September-October 2014 British metal trio Absolva have announced their headline European tour dates for September-October 2014. Absolva have just undertaken a tour in the UK which was the first leg of their “Anthems To The Dead” tour, promoting their 3rd album release (2nd …

It’s two years since Unisonic emerged, with a debut EP and album.  The band hit the headlines for reuniting two legends of German rock/metal – Kai Hansen and Michael Kiske, reunited 23 years after they formed part of Helloween.  Now the band are back with a new EP ahead of …

London based Alexa de Strange have released their EP “Tits of death”.  Definitely a title designed to get attention and it does make a nice change from all those bands releasing self titled EPs and albums (are they really that short of imagination that they can’t think of a decent …

Connecticut’s own DEAD BY WEDNESDAY is pleased to announce their upcoming US tour with fellow New England metallers SHADOWS FALL. The band will join the tour on June 20th in Chicopee, MA and will tour throughout the Midwest and Eastern U.S. before the tour comes to a close on July …

When Northern Ireland metallians Conjuring Fate last year decided to call it a day, it was quite a shock for the scene in this part of the world as, after eight years together, the band’s ascendancy had appeared to on the upward slope.  However, the ‘break’ turned out to be …

After many years of discussion, it is with great pleasure, we can confirm that San Fran Rockers Night Ranger will take a rare trip north and headline Europe’s biggest residential AOR festival – HRH AOR 3. With over 10 million albums under their belt and a back catalogue to die …

It creeps round quickly, festival season, doesn’t it? Somehow a full 12 months has passed since Download 2013 closed with Rammstein setting everything on fire and now it’s all about to go utterly batshit again. Most people going will already have a good idea of who they intend on seeing, …

Irishman Colm Gray had the honour of opening the main stage today.  The planned world false beard attempt was postponed till later in the day so there would be more people around as the mud meant turnout was low this early.  Playing to a small crowd he went down well.  …

SoCal experimental group CHRYSALIS released their new album, Focus On The Center, this past February to great reviews and radio success. Now, the band is gearing up to kick off their upcoming U.S. tour, but are looking for assistance from fans and friends! See below for all pending dates on …
