Inside the Voodoo Lounge there is a very strong sense of high expectation tonight as evidenced by the early arrival of a large number of heavy metal enthusiasts. This is promising to be a rather special evening, spent in the presence of Ross “The Boss” Friedman, former guitarist of power …

On a night that I am to write about the Armored Saint’s first ever performance in Dublin it certainly doesn’t help my impartiality to quite literally bump into all of the band a small distance outside the venue. For them to then ask advice on where to grab something to …

After two years of waiting UK thrashers Evile are back in Dublin to tour their new album “Skull” and lead a night of thrash in the Irish capital. The crowd was pumped throughout the night so let’s get to this. Opening support came from Scimitar. The lads from up north …

Going from Evile to Enslaved was a bit of a genre clash for me last weekend. However, the gig itself was a strange one. This wasn’t just an Enslaved gig but was a joint headline show with Grand Magus. This felt like two totally different shows off the bat and …

Celebration, anniversary, reunion; call it what you like but the Anathema show in Dublin’s Academy was the final evening of the ‘Resonance’ tour, an evening of the band’s entire career that since it was announced had left many salivating at the prospect. This was a show that many never envisaged …

@PlanetMosh gallery of .@DeathOffical in Dublin last year. Back in November, Death DTA came to Dublin to celebrate the legacy of the music of Chuck Schuldiner. What went down was one of the better metal shows the city has ever witnessed as younger fans were given the opportunity to hear …

Sepultura returned to Dublin on a miserable Tuesday night. As the rain and wind battered the streets, Derrick, Andreas, Paulo Jr. and Eloy pummeled a sold out Academy into submission. The set was warmly received by the Irish Sepulnation and songs from new album ‘The Mediator Between Head and Hands …

Monday Night in The Pint was the temporary home of Exhumer, Dyscarnate, Hour of Penance and Psycroptic. Although the line up was promising the turn-out was not all that great and I will have something to say about that too at the end. First up were Italian band Exhumer. Now, …

Friday 13th was not a day for metal heads to fear black cats, walking under ladders, opening umbrellas indoors or even for us to fear a deranged killer inhabiting the woods. Rather, it was going to be the day Nile and Ex Deo, as well as their other guests, would …
