Vomited into existence from Denver Colorado in early 2012, this is the re-release of their debut record on Relapse records. Relapse has generally as a rule been on the ball when it comes to picking up bands that are primal and downright ignorant to the ears and this band are …

‘Phoenix Rising’ is a new album created by two groups working together.  You have Japanese prog rock band Rovo, and Steve Hillage’s dance music project, System 7.  While Prog rock is known for experimentation, a union with an electronic dance music project still seems like a strange mix.  The two …

To say that Avenged Sevenfold have had a funny few years would be the understatement of the millennium. Having lost original drummer Jimmy ‘The Rev’ Sullivan in tragic circumstances at the end of 2009, the band have bravely battled on, releasing the excellent ‘Nightmare’ the following year (with help from …

Bloodstock Open Air 2013 marks the 6th consecutive time that I have personally attended the festival and over these years I’ve seen the festival change in many ways, good and bad. In the past the cleanliness of the Bloodstock toilets has ranked as the worst festival toilets that I have …

What can you say about these guys that hasn't already been said? This is indeed a supergroup of musical talent and one that has produced a rock album that, while full of expected flourishes, has an infectious groove to its heart.

Today I decided to check out Sacred Mother Tongue whose name seems to be haunting me. To be honest I was quite underwhelmed by them and felt that they would pack more of a punch with a more aggressive approach especially in their vocals. I personally thought that the performance …

On the Saturday at Bloodstock, we were lucky enough to get an interview with Mark Morton, guitarist with Lamb of God.  Unfortunately the band’s other commitments plus the fact things were running late meant that the interview was kept very short. Lamb of god interview

Re Vamp and Floor Jansen return with a full deck.   Having just finished touring every nook and cranny of the globe as guest/ temporary/ permanent (delete as appropriate) vocalist with Nightwish, Floor Jansen at last gets the chance to unleash her own creative powers with this, the follow up …
