PlanetMosh Keeping it Metal

I spoke to two of the guys from Tax the Heat at Download to talk about their music, Download and more.  Hear what they had to say using the player below…            

I spoke with Huntress singer Jill Janus at Download 2014 to talk about album plans, touring plans and we also ended up discussing her dogs (all rescued) and how she believes people should always adopt rescued pets rather than buying from breeders. Listen to what she had to say using …

And so, the final day of Download 2014. And this time it’s overcast. The rain has not been hard but it’s definitely a lot cloudier than before – a welcome relief for many of the punters. Elliott and Ant give their opinions on this final day. For me the day …

Elliot and Ant give their opinions of the second day at this years Download festival.. The first band of the day for me was South Wales rockers The Dirty Youth [8] who put in a great set.  Singer Danni Monroe was sporting a natural hair colour for the first time …

.@Planetmosh @AnybodyBC reviews ‘Perfect Cult’ by @deathstars released via @nuclearblasteu Deathstars came to the heavy music scene 14 years ago and their musical style varies from gothic metal to industrial synth death rock. Confused? Oh well, I think you might find everything mentioned above in their music. These Swedish guys have …

@wingertheband , @ukblackwolf and @jettblackuk show in Glasgow reviewed by @AnybodyBC for @Planetmosh When summer finally came to the Scotland, the people went out of their caves, to enjoy the sunshine or to go somewhere outdoors to enjoy the summer open air festivals. For those who were staying in Glasgow, …

Powerwolf, for those who are unfamiliar with the German quintet, are a power metal band who write about over the top religious imagery and of werewolves and demons. They also do it with a grandiose tongue in cheek and the last 3 albums ‘Bible of the Beast’, ‘Blood of the …

@planetmosh reviews Pronto by .@Jamesonmusic Every so often you go to a gig having never heard of the support act and leave feeling like you witnessed the beginning of something pretty huge.  This happened to me on Monday night, when I turned up at Edinburgh’s Liquid Room to see Rival …

.@incantation666, @exilethetraitor show in Glasgow reviewed by @AnybodyBC for @Planetmosh It was a fine day for a great death metal concert in Glasgow. Wednesday, the 18th of June was invaded by Incantation from USA and their three fellow support bands. The small venue Audio, seemed just right for this gig, as …

One tall dude and his guitar is how I can briefly describe Jameson Burt, who is opening the night’s proceedings. Hailing from California, I can hear why Jameson was asked to join Rival Sons on tour. As I’m photographing during the first few songs I am focusing more on the …

The Starling Radicals are a fairly new band from South Wales, who only formed a year and a half ago, but who have already released their first mini-album, The World Outside.  The plan is for them to release a full album soon which will contain the six tracks from this …

At this years Download festival one of the bands I saw really impressed me with their live performance that just stood out from the crowd – The Bosshoss.  Dressed as cowboys their rock is mixed with country and Blues amongst other things.  Throw in a horn section, washboards and castanets …

Peter Frampton’s latest release has an unusual background – Ballet.  In April 2013 the Cincinnati Ballet performed two segments to some of Peter Frampton’s music before doing a third segment to new music from Peter Frampton, with Frampton and his band performing live for all three segments.  That new music …

Avenged Sevenfold brought the pyros. Linkin Park brought the classic album. And Aerosmith? They brought the film crew for a live recording that will hopefully surface as a live DVD in the near future. One thing is certain though – they filmed on the right night. Starting off with a …

The guy next to me is crying – the tears are falling thick and fast down his face as he takes in what is happening on stage. No, it’s not due to frontman Mike Shinoda sporting a red wig as a tongue-in-cheek reference to his hair from the ‘One Step …

When My Chemical Romance headlined Download in 2007, they were bottled heavily. Avenged Sevenfold gained just as much, if not more, criticism for being given the chance to top the bill this year despite the obvious facts of a sold out UK arena tour and a #1 album on both …

Back in full swing for it’s twelfth year, Download Festival once again brought people from across the world to Donington Park in Derbyshire for a weekend of brilliant live music that even the weather couldn’t spoil (more about that later!). And the bands themselves? Well, read on to see what Elliott …

Psychobabylon released second album Embrace The Strange via Plague Dog Records on 1st May 2014. Formed in 2009 in Selby, West Yorkshire the band have supported the likes of Girlschool and (one of my faves – …

Hmmm, how to describe Dick Venom & The Terrortones?   Well one description might be Psychobilly.  In case you haven’t come across Psychobilly before, it’s best described as a blend of Rockabilly and Punk rock. Throw in a healthy dose of Horror movies or B movies and that gives a rough …
