PlanetMosh Keeping it Metal

It was probably inevitable that, almost 30 years down the line, some members of the ‘Big Four’ would start collaborating at one level or another – but the teaming of Megadeth mainman Dave Mustaine and original Anthrax guitarist Dan Spitz may not seem to be the most obvious couple to …

Anthrax have been more regular visitors to this little part of the world than the vast majority of their counterparts, with this – their only UK headlining show, during a ‘night off’ from their support run with Motorhead – being their fifth time playing Northern Ireland. And, the sense of …

The UK doesn’t really have a reputation for producing great sleaze rock bands – well, certainly, not ones who could challenge the supremacy of the likes of the Crüe, LA Guns, GNR or Cinderella in their prime. The likes of The Quireboys, Wildhearts and Dogs D’Amour always have been more …

Rumours of Sabaton’s demise have been greatly exaggerated. The Swedish power metallers went from supporting Iron Maiden in Gothenburg and recording a fine album in ‘Carolus Rex’ to ending up with just two original band members out of six following a parting of the ways. But now, with guitarists Chris …

More than 30 years and counting, Loudness are still going strong, these Japanese metal veterans are still finding new ways to deliver good, heavy, fresh and interesting metal. If you haven’t followed Loudness in a while,’ Eve To Dawn’ is a good record to get you back into the band. …

Steve Hackett’s latest album is a follow up to 1996’s “Genesis revisited”. This album, once again revisit’s Genesis songs and rework’s them in Steve’s own musical direction. It can be hard to do justice to this type of music, as I can only think of one Genesis song that has …

This album, Paul’s 12th solo record includes four new guitar and vocal compositions, four instrumentals, plus three live cover songs from Gilbert’s 2010 “Fuzz” tour. Ably backed in the studio by his wife Emi on keys and vocals, Kelly LeMieux on bass and the utterly brilliant Thomas Lang on drums …

I was lucky enough to grab a chat with vocalist Rute Fevereiro to discuss the bands history, current album and much much more.   Firstly, many thanks for taking time to speak to us here at Planetmosh.Take us back to the beginning for Enchantya, you formed in 2004, how did …

All of your favourite bands will break up. Story of our lives, isn’t it? You wade through hordes of soulless, inoffensive, unimaginative tripe and just before you give up all hope, you see a light at the end of the tunnel in the form of your new favourite band. You latch on …

Interview with Sabaton's Joakim Brodén

Interview with Máté Molnár and Máté Bodor from Wisdom

I spoke to Oliver Palotai, keyboard player with Kamelot, in the band’s dressing room shortly before they played the Forum in Kentish Town, London, and asked him about the bands latest album, their tour and his other work.  You can listen to the interview with the player below.  

Taking a short break from their European tour with Dragonforce, Huntress headed over to the UK for a few gigs – three headline shows in small venues around the UK plus tonight’s appearance at the Metal Hammer Halloween party, held in London’s Islington academy.  With three other bands on the …

This powerhouse three track EP from Tipperary industrialists Borderline Prime very nearly didn’t see the light of the day, apparently. Following the release of their debut EP, ‘Blacker’, the band originally had intended to follow it up with another of the same, but then changed their minds and decided to …

  The mighty Danes return to lay waste to your stereo.   This represents the bands twelfth studio release and may well be one of the finest albums they have come up with, if not ever than at least since 2008’s ‘The Prestige’. Illdisposed are a really underrated band in …

It’s hard to categorize this debut album from this Italian quintet (one of a maddeningly large number of acts with the same name, as a quick Google search turns up similarly monickered outfits from as far afield as San Francisco, Singapore and Japan), as it falls between a number of …

A cold crisp evening in Glasgow was kicked of with main support from Rise Above stalwarts Gentlemans Pistols now featuring Bill Steer of Carcass/Firebird/Napalm Death fame. Commencing their set with an up-tempo rocker which bled Deep Purple, Captain Beyond and Quo, the pistols laid down the tone for the rest …

The name of Tasmanian devils (sic) Ruins may be unfamiliar to many people outside the southern hemisphere, but that should be about to change soon, thanks to the international release of this, their fourth full length studio album. And a bloody fine slice of blackened metal it is – melodic …

I have seen Terrorvision on a couple of occasions before, both at festivals, so this is the first time I get to witness the Terrorvision party atmosphere at one of their own shows and I certainly wasn’t disappointed. You know that you are about to watch a band that do …

Kamelot are currently on their European tour and played the Forum in Kentish Town on Wednesday 7th November.  Here are some photos from the show….     %%wppa%% %%slide=492%%
