PlanetMosh Keeping it Metal

    From the first pluck of the strings, I just knew this was going to be a good album. With raunchy, lascivious little Bad Habits bringing to mind all manner of naughtiness, this is one earthy showcase of what real retro rock sounds like! I’ve said this before, and forgive …

@louelladeville_ @planetmosh review of @antinowhere and #DeadObjectives @MancAcademy It was a miserable evening as I battled the traffic heading to Manchester Academy 3 to see the Anti-Nowhere League (ANL), but it didn’t deter a long queue of gig goers for the adjacent Academy 1. Whilst it wasn’t the first time …

When I first came across young Armagh metallians Sentinel, opening a charity gig in Belfast, I must admit that I wasn’t overly impressed:  but then, as I said, they are young (drummer Jordie Kelly is still only 15!) and it was only their third ever live performance… Move the clock …

Sometimes, no matter how well you think you know your local music scene, you suddenly find you don’t know it quite so well as you did, as something comes completely out of left field and makes you ask “where the fuck did that come from?”. In this case, I had …

WILDFIRE FESTIVAL have released a Special Autumn Ticket Offer as the early bird tickets sold out very fast, so a further 100 tickets are being offered at the amazing price of just £50! with no booking fee, which represents a saving of 20% from what will be our final price …

A miserable wet Friday  helped set the atmosphere for  In Solitude‘s Dublin date with support from the mighty Beastmilk. The smell of incense filled the air to alert the senses that this wasn’t to be a standard metal gig. Opening proceedings was solo act Daniel Bay, who, as a replacement …

Black metal is a genre which, in many ways, is split straight down the middle – between those who seek to live merely on its past glories and those who desire to drive it forward and re-establish its relevancy in the modern era:  those content to don the antiquated corpse …

Grass roots is where it starts with hard slogging, vans breaking down, sleeping in the van, getting sick of Subway or living off Pot Noodles; the hotels and catering of the arenas are the thing of dreams. Tonight’s headliners The Treatment have had a taste of that dream touring with …

Definitely – and defiantly – one of the most impressive acts to have taken to the New Blood Stage at this past summer’s Bloodstock, East Anglia’s SynaptiK have subsequently produced a debut album that is fervent, fresh and vibrant in equal measure. Straddling, with consummate ease, the death, groove, progressive …

Back in February I went along to the O2 ABC in Glasgow as a Planetmosh newcomer, wondering what to expect as I reviewed the first Glasgow gig by southern rockers Blackberry Smoke.  I said in that review I hoped they came back soon as it was one of the best live …

It’s very rarely that PlanetMosh finds itself in a room filled with plush velvet-covered armchairs and rich mahogany woodwork, adjacent to a bar that serves the most expensive cocktail in these islands – a Mai Tai which will set you back a mere £1,000!  Yet, here we are:  nestled in one …

Tuesdays are always quite a tough night to fill an venue, and this was evident tonight as Rock City’s basement was still a bit sparse as local Nottingham band Enormity Falls take the stage. Opening acts have a rough time drawing a crowd but that mattered not to these lads …

SLIPKNOT RETURN TO THE IRELAND IN 2015 With Special Guests KORN and PlanetMosh has teamed up with MCD to offer you a chance to win 2 tickets to the show this weekend for the show on January 14th.   COMPETITION NOW CLOSED   To win a pair of tickets to what …

Damnation festival is one of the most known metal indoors festivals in UK, happening every autumn. As every year, the very first November weekend metalheads meet up in Leeds for the short, one day indoors heavy feast. This year among many well known and sound names, there are several less …

X-Drive released their début album Get Your Rock On via Frontiers Records on 25th August 2014. Based in Los Angeles X-Drive is the brain child of Jeremy Brunner, who although relatively unknown is joined by some big names. James LoMenzo from White Lion on bass, Fred Fischer from Midline on …

In the music business making it to 30 years is to be admired and obviously something should be done to mark such a momentous occasion. TNT have put together a spectacular with an orchestra, some ex members and a cast of special guests to give the fans a one off …

  Whilst some bands can take yonky donks to write and record an album, Plainview went for the fuck it approach and went straight into the studio to see what they could come up with. Having only a few weeks before decided in a pub one night that they missed …

American technical death metallers Revocation are busy and productive as never before at this very moment: their new album “Deathless“ recently faced the daylight under the new, Metal Blade Records roof, as well as guys will hit the road for the tour soon and of course, will visit autumn most …

Senser, what can you say about the crossover legends that hasn’t already been said before. They changed the alternative music landscape forever in 1994 with the release of their debut album ‘Stacked Up’; an album of pure inventiveness that influenced a generation. I remember hearing it for the first time …

Tonight’s gig was one I’d been looking forward to since it was first announced – the only UK show on the current Flying colors tour.  As with their previous tour, it’s a short European tour with just one UK date, and having missed them on their last tour, then I …
