And on the Twelfth day of Christmas my true love gave to me.. Once again a quick recap of some of the brilliant releases we have had so far.
Album of The Year Christmas Countdown : Day Twelve
A Damnation Interview With : John, James and Robin (Maybeshewill)
Perhaps one of the anomalies of Damnation, Maybeshewill have returned for the final time to the hallowed halls of Damnation. Taking the decision to stop touring and maybe the band altogether the lads in Maybeshewill had a fantastic send off in their Leeds home away from home. Culminating in a London Koko date the band will be performing farewell shows in 2016 ending on April 15th. After their fantastic performance we were able to catch up with drummer and guitarists James, John and Robin to find out just why the band decided to call it a day and whether it will mean the end of the band or simply their live presence…
Live Review – Slayer at Brixton Academy
2015 is no doubt a different picture for all of us to have imagined but for a band as archetypal in the machinations of the metal world as Slayer it represents a significant point in their career. Having tragically lost previous member Jeff Hanneman the future was uncertain, bouncing back this year releasing their highly anticipated album Repentless the band have been back at it. Now thirty years on how exactly do they compare…
Why It’s Hard For Your Favourite Band to Tour Internationally
Consequences of Sound have published a lengthy article as to why bands struggle with touring worldwide – it’s a pretty morbid outlook on the reality of touring, but it is a very interesting read for those who want to know why bands cancel are often forced to cancel visits.
Album of The Year Christmas Countdown Day One : Jakub Zytecki – Wishful Lotus Proof
As the year begins to come to an end so comes the time for festive fun, coming together and celebrating the year but most importantly Metal. And so as with almost every Metalhead in the world we begin our countdown of some of our favourite albums of 2015.
An Interview With: Chrigel Glanzmann (Eluveitie)
Eluveitie have been on a rocket ride to the top of their game for the better part of the last decade. It’s arguable to say that the band have set an incredible standard for folk metal with the series of folk instrument virtuosos that fused with death metal riffing. Bringing their latest album ‘Origins’ to London we catch up with frontman Chrigel Glanzmann to ask a few questions about how Eluveitie continues to pioneer such complex music.
An Opinion On Eagles Of Death Metal’s Vice Interview
No doubt the world over has seen the first interview that Eagles of Death Metal have given since the horrific attacks that occurred almost two weeks ago at Paris’ Bataclan. I also watched the interview, along with the preview of the interview which was in poor taste and personally have a few things to say about it.
Live Review : Agent Fresco
Technicality and emotion are not exactly something that you would deem would go hand in hand. Making their UK debut this July at the fast growing Tech Fest, for those who were there Agent Fresco were an undoubtable highlight of the fast growing festival. With the release of new album Destrier behind them the band embark on their first UK headline tour however before we can get back to our favourite Icelandic bunch we were able to pay heed to some fantastic up and coming bands tonight.
