Retrograde-Inversion

The metal scene in the UK has been missing something. Don’t get me wrong its picking up the pace as of late, with new talent popping up recently. But this new wave of decent underground metal is lacking in something, we've got young black metal bands such as Aeternum, prog metal bands like Carpathia but we're missing some vital. Well we were, Meta- Stasis are made up of members of Ted Maul, Sikth and Man Must Die and are here to tear you ears apart. I'm not going to lie, when I came across ...

Abgott ‘God fathers In Black- album review

The beasts of black metal are back. With an album so terrifyingly heavy it will make your ancestors’ ears bleed from beyond the grave. This album, entitled ‘Godfathers in Black’ has everything you crave from a decent black metal album. It doesn’t ask for you permission, it takes it.  Personally I felt like my virginity had been replaced and brutally stripped from me as I listened to songs such as ‘Obscure Renaissance’ and ‘Shinni...

With little notice and a mind on other things I was invited to a gig in a pub I’ve never been to, in a part of London I rarely visit. To see a band I’ve never heard, in the hope that I’d see and hear something that would take my mind off  things. Well, I’ve never been more right.

 With a less than adequate audience and more than a few nicely set out yet lonely tables Brighton Institute of Music Student band ‘Jenna Bennett – and Band-kicked off with nothing to lose and everythi...

After a long and slightly tedious wait, the first act of Chick's Rock! was finally introduced and took to the stage.  Leaving no time for anticipation to build, the funky-punk, Beth Swain

Like a force of nature she took to the stage, engaging the audience the very second she opened her mouth.  With a sound reminiscent of an early Siousie Sioux and belonging on the Rocky Horror Pictur...

The Dying illusion -Candlemass    

The song 'The Dying Illusion' by Candlemass off the 'Chapter VI' album is nothing less than a master piece of a song which shows the world that the band have always had a deep insight to music writing and will never lose it despite critics saying that doom metal artists write meaningless forgetful music. Recorded in 1992 it won the band there first...

With an opening track so powerful, in dedication to the late Dimebage Darell, it’s no wonder that the sixth and latest album titled simply 'The Blackening' won the band their first Grammy award and sold 15,000 within its first week of release.

This album proves that Machine Head truly have come a long way since their debut album 'Burn My Eyes' which was Road Runner Records bigge...

No strangers to the music industry Red N Pink (check the hair) have been slaving away trying to break the music industry for the last seven years. With some of the most energetic live sets I’ve seen in a long time they command the stage with such a demanding force that the audience have no choice but to look, listen and learn.  Even in the dreary weather at GO.GO Festival 2011 they still managed to bring some sun shine to the stage with their charmingly erotic performance, their exquisi...
