The UK's Most Dedicated Metal Blog
A couple of months back one Devin Townsend decided to bring the theatrics of last years double release Z2 to one of London’s most hallowed venues, the Royal Albert Hall.
Previously debuting their first single from forthcoming album Intronaut have now unleashed their second single “Digital Gerrymandering“.
The Spanish folk metallers have flown under the radar for too long with their experimental style, and decided to create some more accessible music with their previous album ‘Vida‘.

The best laids plans of mice and men often go awry. Arriving bright eyed and bushy tailed for tonight’s performance it seems that perhaps our Norwegian’s don’t share quite the same enthusiasm. Annoyingly the band are stuck in traffic after some problems in transit but at last arrive at the slightly later than planned time. Normally not being an issue but as we are treated to three bands on tonight’s bill it does cause some problems for some.
If you’re a fan of Cannibal Corpse we’re betting that you’re partial to a beer or two, now you can listen to your favourite band while drinking your favourite beer!
