PlanetMosh Keeping it Metal

This isn’t a definitive list of the twenty best sleazy tracks of all time it’s twenty tracks, chosen by two of our writers, for the lovers of the sleazier, not cheesier (though some may disagree) songs. Think screaming riffs; high pitched voices; guyliner; spandex! Bands where the men wear more …

Vivian Campbell’s, Last in line, Fastway, Sweet Savage, The Vintage Caravan, Lionize and Inglorious lead another whack of international bands for this year’s 10th Anniversary of Hard Rock Hell.   It’s only 6 months away, it was sold out at last year’s event and now Hard Rock Hell, Europe’s leading …

I’d been looking forward to tonight’s gig as it was my first time seeing Danish band D-A-D – or to give them the name they had before the Disney  lawyers persuaded them of the error of their ways, Disneyland After Dark.  The last few times they’ve played the UK their …

Hailing from Manchester, The Hyena Kill are a sometimes stoner, sometimes experimental two-piece outfit from Manchester. Having made a mark on the underground scene, Atomised could very well put them on the map and establish them throughout the rest of the UK. Atomised begins with the blues swagger and instant …

Camden Rocks Festival, Saturday 4th June 2016 – Preview It’s not quite an annual event, with the first Camden Rocks taking place in 2009 and the second five years later in 2013, but it seems to have become an annual event since then, with this being the fifth. Unlike many …

Saturday marked the second day of the already brilliant Desertfest 2016. With beers flowing, and more punters in attendance than the day before, the Saturday lineup proved to be the more eclectic mix of the weekend. First in line on Saturday were Yorkshire’s BongCauldron [9]. Sounding like the bastard spawn …

DevilDriver are a band I have been lucky enough to have known and loved from Day 1, from the first time I saw them play at London Underworld shortly after the release of the original self-titled album in 2003. Throughout the years we have been treated to some of the …

PlanetMosh’s Miley Stevens and Innes Rankin spoke to Mantar at Desertfest 2016. Mantar are a two-piece ‘not-sludge’ band hailing from Hamburg, Germany. This is probably the most fun I have ever had in an interview, and I would urge anyone who likes their music heavy to check these boys out. …

PlanetMosh’s Miley Stevens and Innes Rankin had the pleasure to talking to Chris Fielding of Conan ahead of their Desertfest performance at the Electric Ballroom. Miley: Hey Chris, how’s it going? Chris: Good thanks, a bit tired – just got in, but very well. Miley: I saw you at Ritual Festival …

After witnessing the energy of this project on stage many times I have been looking forward to getting my hands on this album as soon as they mentioned its recording. Live Burial from Newcastle Upon Tyne, England is the UK’s answer for the general lack of straight up, decent old school death …

On Friday 29th April, stoner and doom fans from all stretches of the country descended on Camden, London, for the 5th installment of touring festival Desertfest.

Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, the living and the undead I summon you on this occasion to witness my review of the spine tingling master’s first solo studio album since Venomous Rat Regeneration Vendor, Mr Rob Zombie’s The Electric Warlock Acid Witch Satanic Orgy Celebration Dispenser (released 29/04/16). As …

It seems you can’t get rid of foxes right now. Earlier this week Leicester City won the Premier League and now Download Festival have announced Babymetal will play the main stage on Friday this year! In a move that shows the festival genuinely listen to opinion and the views of …

Sunday dawned sunny but cold as we all trooped back up the hill for the second day of this fine little festival. The Spangle Corps kicked things off, a young band playing in a sort of punk/rap/rock crossover style. There was a lot of energy and jumping up and down, …

Now into its  fifth year the Noize Level Critical Festival has undergone a change of name to “Rockin For The Children”; this is due to organiser David Tonge (aka Big D from the Noize Level Critical radio show) adding a second very worthy charity to raise awareness and funds for. …
