Trivium Live At Norwich LCR : Live Review

March 22, 2016 No Comments

Relationships are indeed a strange affair coming in all sorts of sizes. Easily the most important opinion out there, fans truly are the back bone to a band. Having had a home from home in the UK since their inception Trivium have always been our Florida heroes. Releasing their excellent album Silence In The Snow has seen the band headline festivals and perform in major player venues yet as yet another example of interaction with their fans the band have opted to forget sell out capital dates and visit our more colloquial of Metalheads. Taking a trip up Norwich we went to see just what the band had in store…

Fleshgod Apocalypse Live At The Underworld : Live Review

March 18, 2016 No Comments

Whilst the rest of the world began to collectively fund Guiness’ breweries for yet another year, among the many gig happening in Camden tonight we were transported to The Underworld. Having released their brand new flawless record King, Fleshgod Apocalypse have begun a new chapter in their symphonic story. Taking elements from the much loved Classical movement and splicing them together with Death Metal at last the band have created a palpable world to let their music thrive in and tonight a sold out Underworld will witness these new kings save for one queen in concerto.

Live Review: Avantasia

March 10, 2016 No Comments

The rise of Avantasia can be argued as something no-one would have really expected back on the release of the ‘Metal Opera‘ 15 years ago. We certainly would not have imagined that the grandiose project would see a live stage. But a few massive albums later, and a string of highly successful all-star performances, Tobias Sammet’s flying circus strikes in the heart of London.

Live Review : Decapitated And Sylosis At The Electric Ballroom

March 9, 2016 No Comments

In the ever expanding world of Metal tour packages are slowly becoming more and more eclectic. With the likes of many a band in the states opting for a variety in their performance tonight we are shown variety in a more European sense. Teaming up to head out together on a short co-headline tour British born Sylosis and Polish underdogs Decapitated should be polarising opposites but the pairing is a fantastic combination making for a variety in the very pedigree of Metal bands of the modern day.

Baroness Live At London’s Koko

March 2, 2016 No Comments

Recovery is a peculiar affair, sometimes taking weeks, months or even years. Psychological or otherwise sometimes recovery is beyond the means of the subject. Releasing what was deemed one of James Hetfield’s favourite records of 2015, Baroness released their obstimate aneighbors ever so slightly tainted cry that was Purple. Not having toured the UK since before their incident, the return of these fuzz kings is particularly poignant.
