London based Lynchpyn,having only formed  in May 2012 are already looking to be a fine metal band judging by the quality of their new cd single Drop The Blade. An album is being recorded with a possible release in Feb. 2013 which should be one to definitely look out for! …

Last Wednesday saw the annual arrival of Halloween, one of my favourite holidays, so once again I happened upon Camden Town for a spot of gig’age.  Now this being the night when the veil is at its thinnest and the ghouls, monsters and freaks come out to play, one might …

First up tonight was Jordan Reyne.  Until I arrived at the gig I had no idea if there was going to be a support act – while the Leeds gig had two support bands announced well in advance, there was no such announcement for the London show, and the venue …

Tonight’s lineup started with Duff McKagan’s loaded. I hadnt listened to anything by them before so was looking forward to seeing them. I have to admit to being slightly sceptical though – when a band needs to rely on the name of one of the members then that’s usually not …

Did you know that cult surf-rockers Ugly Kid Joe possibly played an improbable role in the Northern Ireland peace process?  Well, they did – and you can find out how when PM’s Ireland editor caught up with frontman Whit Crane and guitarist Klaus Eichstadt during their stopover in Belfast (just …

As morning arrived, we headed for our shuttle bus pick up point, met up with a few familiar faces, checked in, and rolled off for Wieze with some Female Fronted Metal blasting out from the speakers, ensuring that the cobwebs of the night before were well and truly blown away. …

Pig Destroyer formed in 1997 and ever since have been bringing us their unique brand of grindcore. The band has no bass player which at times leaves them sounding exposed but it is a minor quibble. This is the 5th full length release although they have put out numerous split …

Shortly before departing the fair shores of the UK for the lights of Hollywood (yes I moved to the other side of the world) I was very fortunate to be able to speak to Wolfsbane, on this occasion all of the questions came from their fans :) Enjoy!

Switzerland is a country typically associated with Mountains, Chocolate, cuckoo clocks and banks, but they do actually produce some great bands – Gotthard, Krokus and Celtic Frost being prime examples, and The Vibes being another (lesser known) case.  The vibes play what they describe as T.C.B Rock’n’Roll (I’ve got no …

Manchester band Babylon Fire formed in 2007 as a five-piece but are now a four-piece band.  They released their debut EP in 2009, and are now ready to release their debut album.  The band got a lot of attention when Bruce Dickinson raved about the band on his BBC6 radio …

We caught up with Jettblack’s bassist Tom Wright on the penultimate night of their first UK headline tour at Camden Underworld to promote their second album ‘Raining Rock’ released earlier this year. Hear his answers to the questions that had not been pre-approved by his manager!         …

Manchester’s four piece purveyors of Hard Rock and Metal launch their debut album upon the masses, and what a totally delightful triumph it turns out to be. 10 tracks of pure sweaty, foot tapping Rock played with a serious degree of talent. My first experience of the band was watching …

Planetmosh caught up with guitarist Drop and vocalist Ben from Cyber Metal band Sybreed. Having just finished a European tour and with the excellent ‘God Is An Automaton’ out in the open the guys had plenty to talk about.   Many thanks for taking the time out to have a …

It’s the return of Vancouver metal heavyweights Bison B.C. with their third album and follow up to 2010’s Dark Ages. It’s a damn huge assed slice of sludge and stoner metal with thrash accents that explodes in your ears like a ten ton weight dropping on Wile E Coyote. It …
