Winterfylleth – The Siege of Mercia (Candlelight)

Interview – Ensiferum

Having reviewed their latest album ‘One Man Army,’ I jumped at the chance of shooting some questions toward one of Ensiferum’s band members. Since liking Norther back in the day I thought it was only right to pick vocalist Petri… Continue Reading →

Scarab – Serpents Of The Nile (ViciSolum)

I caught Scarab playing the Sophie stage at Bloodstock Open Air Festival in 2013 and they were one of the unknown bands to me that definitely turned out as one of the big surprises of the festival. They were like… Continue Reading →

The King is Blind – The Deficiencies of Man (Mordgrimm)

My introduction to The King is Blind was their ‘Bleeding the Ascension’ demo which the band very kindly gave away free on their bandcamp page a few months ago, and I was sucked in by their threatening rumble from the… Continue Reading →

Crowbar – Symmetry In Black (Century Media)

  Anyone finding and reading this page should have a healthy, or in the eyes of mainstream music press, an unhealthy knowledge of the band and style of music they have been been pumping out in a sea of sludge… Continue Reading →

Orange Goblin – A Eulogy For The Fans (Candlelight)

When Mssrs Turner (drums), Millard (bass), Hoare (Guitar) and Ward (vocals) told the world that in 2012 after, what, 17 years together and having just dropped a career best album on us, they were going full time, I bet I… Continue Reading →

Was this really 2011, time flies but this somewhat incendiary set is still fresh in the memory as is the oft mentioned backdrop of the time when it took place, just after England was in the grip of completely misdirected… Continue Reading →

Bloodstock Open Air Sunday 12th August 2012

Sunday morning. Hungover and suffering from that nearing-the-end-of-the-festival fatigue, one is in dire need of a pick-me-up. Something loud and heavy to get the blood pumping as it were. Off to a galloping start then, are female-fronted Canucks, Kobra And… Continue Reading →

Bloodstock Open Air Saturday 11th August 2012

Napalm Death have this year off so it’s the turn of the other Brummie brutalists Benediction to open the main stage today. It does seem as though one or the other is guaranteed to play the festival each year, not… Continue Reading →

Bloodstock Open Air Friday 10th August 2012

The way the bands were set up today was going to involve a lot of running backwards and forwards between stages to see the bands we wanted to. I also had fun shooting from the main arena rather than having… Continue Reading →
