PlanetMosh Keeping it Metal

On a bitter sweet night in Bathgate near Edinburgh, I saw a band who I not only had the pleasure of sharing the stage with at times but also count as mates of mine in the metal scene up here, call time on a career that’s been on the go …

During their whistle-stop visit to Scotland at the weekend I caught up with the boys in Severenth to discuss their sound, their set, what makes them tick and just why they love doing what they do. Severenth are: Peet Bailey – Vocals Adam Sidor – Guitar Ste Ensall – Guitar …

San Francisco Doom merchants deliver another slab of Retro magic.   One thing you can say about Doom is that it never has and never will go out of fashion, unlike certain other sub-genres of Metal I could mention, Grunge being the obvious. Of course, all things evolve and develope …

Death Tyrant emerged from the ashes of Swedish underground supremos Lord Belial when the latter broke up in 2010 – although, in one of those typically murky storylines which epitomizes the Scandinavian scene, they’ve apparently been re-activated on at least two occasions – and this debut album has been the …

Nine Miles South are a “hard hitting, riff heavy and melodic hard rock band.” According to their own words. ” With a softer more blues oriented side as well as an overall country vibe.”   These guy’s are the real deal.  A very new ( un-signed ) underground rock group, who …

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 …

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 …
