Haken Set To Release Brand New Album Affinity This April
Album Review : Rotting Christ – Rituals
Comprehensive in any language the ideology of religion is universal regardless of its manifestation. Looking in particular at Christianity and its etymology, one of the oldest mysteries of history. Known to be the language of Jesus himself Aramaic is but one of these linguistic vehicles, though his existence is questionable his presence throughout history has defined our culture as we know it. Evolving from primitive beginnings to its seemingly limitless scope of the modern day religion has infiltrated each aspect of living now becoming a commodity.
Live Review: Helloween + Rage
A night of efficient German heavy metal has rolled into London town, and every raidiant note was soaked up with every moment cherished. We review the epic performances from metal titans Helloween and Rage.
Album Review : Fleshgod Apocalypse – King
Combining the cinematic within a Metal environment has always been a diligent task that many have undertaken and fallen short. Having deep rooted foundations in both genres of Classical and Death Metal, Fleshgod Apocalypse have teetered between the two combining both polarising categories to a slightly clumsy interplay, until now. Carving a conceptual niche with their previous album Labyrinth the band are no strangers to the classic story. Bringing the term Rock Opera to a tongue in cheek fruition the band have assembled together for the oeuvre that is King.
Steven Wilson Live At Hammermsith Apollo
Attracting anything from the most seasoned of metaller to the most gloomy of Goth’s Steven Wilson is able to cross boundaries with seemingly every single release. Pushing the blueprint further with each conceptual coup, after the phenomenal success garnered from Hand Cannot Erase as Wilson insists tonight’s tour in part of celebration of new mini album 4 1/2. Nevertheless prior to our exploration into the mini album the night is divided into two sections. Happily keeping the avid Prog fans at bay tonight’s setlist has been meticulously chosen to suit every kind of audience member.
Album Review : Obscura – Akroasis
Change can be a catalyst to influence great difference in a band. No stranger to a different line up, Obscura have at long last gathered momentum to release their first material in half a decade. Since the band’s primeval state, first stretching their metaphorical muscles in the cosmos the band have become one of the premier league in Technical Death Metal. Once more returning to the path of totality with a renewed sense of identity we welcome the genesis of a new epoch, the age of Akroasis.
Album Review: Avantasia – Ghostlights
One of the most highly anticipated heavy metal releases has finally arrived. Avantasia has continually won over hearts and minds releasing a series of powerful epics in a rock opera package, putting on some stunning live shows intermittently featuring some huge heavy metal talent. After a long while away, the story continues with ‘Ghostlights‘.
Abbath Live at The Kentish Town Forum Review
Welcome back! After the blissful slumber that was Christmas we slowly but surely entered the new year. Wiping away the cobwebs of 2015 we greet the new year with a decidedly frosty hello. Penned for last September, Abbath was set to return with Primordial and Conan. Owing to some difficulties the show was instead postponed to banish the January blues. All the while our Death Metal deviants Benighted and The Black Dahlia Murder were scheduled to perform separate shows in the same area. Deciding to combine both shows into one mega show, minus Conan, we welcome the first gig of 2016.
