PlanetMosh Keeping it Metal

At first listen, German electro-industrialists Stahlmann evoke immediate comparisons with fellow countrymen Rammstein – huge chugging, crunching riffs, backed by punchy rhythms… and vocals delivered in their native language!  Add in a penchant for covering themselves in silver paint on stage, and its a parellel which they make stupidly simplistic …

I love underground music, if it brings out some obvious talent, and especially if it’s from outside my home country – the USA. Turin, Italy’s Ultra-Violence (yeah, like Death Angel, or A Clockwork Orange, your choice) seems to fit that bill. Their newest, Privilege To Overcome, is a long-playing album …

Once in a while an album will come along and completely blow me away with its sheer intensity. An album that strays away  from a collection of  songs  with the usual verse/chorus/verse/chorus/guitar solo etc.  Pelagial, the 5th studio album from Swiss based band The Ocean is definitely one of those …

Unsurprisingly, this seventh album from Rome’s Kaledon is forged in the fires of pure epic metal:  after all, this is a band who, over the course of the past decade, have released a six-part concept work set in medieval England – or the Kingdom of Kaledon as they refer to …

Hard Rock Hell 7 announces more acts including Michael Monroe, Vain, Snakecharmer and many more for this November’s Event…and with only 76 rooms left, you better hurry! Hard Rock Hell 7 (Cirque Du Rock) which takes place November 28-30th at Hafan Y Mor Holiday Park in Pwllheli, N.Wales, has announced …

UK metallers Dendera have been making waves with their classic metal style since the release of their debut EP in 2011. With support slots alongside some of metals greats such as UFO, Saxon, Orange Goblin and Ill Nino to name a few they continue to make a name for themselves …

It would seem that metal fans, blues fans and rock and roll fans alike all love a bit of The Graveltones cause these two manage to do it heavy, they do it loud and they do it proud, having seen them recently supporting Rival Sons. I caught up with the …

Kadavar are another in an increasingly long line of bands – such as Uncle Acid And The Deadbeats and Purson – who recently have been following in the footsteps of illustrious predecessors of the ilk of Electric Wizard and Spiritual Beggars in re-ploughing the retro furrow of late-60s psychedelica blues meets …

Following Planetmosh’s review of Karnya’s stunning album ‘Coverin’  Thoughts’, we decided to grab keyboard maestro Dario and ask him about the bands beginnings, the album and their future plans. The album is without doubt one of my personal highlights so far of 2013 and well worth checking out if you …

“Songs To Invade Countries To” is completely solid throughout. There’s plenty of hard and heavy rocking numbers to thrill and satisfy. Yet it’s full of creativity, structure and wonderful melodies. It has songs which divert you elsewhere and throw you off guard that really makes you smile, and for me this has to be an early contender for one of the albums of the year.

Voodoo Highway’s second album, Showdown, is out this month and we sat down with bassist Filippo Cavallini to get a little bit more info from them on just what makes them tick. Hi guys and thanks for taking the time to chat to us today. Before anything else, for those …

It’s almost impossible to look at Drowning Pool as the same band they were in 2002. A lot has changed since then and five albums and four vocalists later Resilience is Drowning Pools latest studio album with new vocalist Jasen Moreno, and you can’t deny that Resilience is a great …

Delain have enjoyed a very successful few years with their albums steadily increasing in popularity and their shows selling more and more tickets. They've also had problems - the changes at Roadrunner records saw their last album release being delayed much to the band's frustration. They've now signed to Napalm records, home of so many great female fronted bands, and their first release via Napalm is 'Interlude'.

On the strength of seeing Helloween a couple of years ago dominating Hard Rock Hell 4 in Prestatyn, I jumped on a train and travelled down to London to catch them again on their Hellish Rock Part 2 with fellow countrymen Gamma Ray supporting them for another dose of power metal.

  The un-matchable guitarist Mr Michael Schenker,of UFO and Scorpions fame, also known for his solo group ( The Michael Schenker Group ), brought his powerhouse of sound the “Temple Of Rock” show to Rock City, Nottingham this weekend. On stage tonight with Michael were the ex-Scorpions star’s Herman Rarebell on …
