Why Motörhead aren’t in the Rock n’ Roll Hall of Fame is beyond my imagination. Lemmy, Phil Campbell and Mikkey Dee are the epitome of the genre. Aftershock, their first record since 2010’s astounding The World Is Yours, is Motörhead at their predictably unapologetic best. No bullshit, just a heady …

It’s Friday night and I am heading down to the Oh Yeah Centre to see The Devil Wears Prada on their 8:18 album tour, featuring Napoleon and Dead Harts for support acts. I am looking forward to this show because it has such a great line up AND it’s a …

At the 11’th of October PlanetMosh was attending to the Impericon Never Say Die! Tour. We were attending to the Tivoli venue in Utrecht in the lowlands. The first edition was held in 2007, and are now back for their eighth edition with a bone crushing line-up. Back in 2010 …

Pearl Jam’s latest studio album, ‘Lightning Bolt’ is almost upon us. With their previous album, ‘Backspacer’, having been released four years ago, the longest gap between albums in their 23 year history, Pearl Jam are now ready to make a new statement. I have been listening to this album several …

I recently caught up with 3 members from the band Attica Rage at The Classic Grand in Glasgow, before their performance for their 88mph tour. The band discuss the tour, festivals, trying to get a copy of their 88mph album around the world within 88 days amongst other things. Attica …

The wolf pack head out on their Wolfsnächte European tour, establishing their dominant position within the power metal genre. Tonight is their only UK date at the famous Underworld venue in London. German band Majesty kicked the night off. Manowar style metal can be a bit cheesy (ok very cheesy at …

Tonight was a night I was really looking forward to. For Scottish grunge rock/metal band Afterlife showcasing new songs from their forthcoming debut album “Omega“. It would also be a night I was looking forward to see support act Christie Connor-Vernal perform with her new band, and not on her …

I recently caught up with Scottish band Afterlife prior to their debut album showcase gig at the Garage’s second venue, the G2 in Glasgow. The band discuss the making of their debut album “Omega”, the touring life, and reveals some exclusive news to PlanetMosh. Afterlife are: Pete McCoy – Vocals …

For this live review I would like to say first of all, I missed support act Samuel Taylor due to doing an interview with The Temperance Movement during his set. Sorry Sam, but for the record a few days later I did manage to catch Sam at the Newcastle gig, …

I recently caught up with three members of The Temperance Movement in the grand, recently refurbished and rather plush dressing room in Glasgow’s Oran Mor. Guitarist Paul Sayer, Bassist Nick Fyffe, and Vocalist Phil Campbell kindly gave me some of their time before taking to the stage to perform. The …

Channeling the testosterone fuelled, bluesy grooves of Motörhead, with a pinch of James Hetfield vocal snarl and a Guns N’ Roses swagger, Badmotorfinger have impressed greatly with their debut album, It’s Not The End. Founded and built around two brothers, the Italian quintet started out life as a covers band …

In 2009 Merciless Terror crawled from the depths of hell in Nottingham, UK. This band consists of four members, all ready to make your blood pump of adrenaline. This band is influenced by bands like Slayer, Malevolent Creation, early Sepultura and Bolt Thrower but I also hear some Exhumed similarities. …

Northern Ireland will always bring a big smile to my face. Not only as it’s my homeland, but there are a hell of a lot of great bands with huge energy, a lot of passion, spirit and soul throughout. A lot of Northern Irish bands seem to get overlooked somehow …

I first saw The Graveltones performing live supporting the band Stonerider, and then with Rival Sons a few times earlier this year. What impressed me about their live performances is the amount of noise and rhythmic sounds that the two Aussie band members Jimmy O and Mikey Sorbello produced as …

#PlanetMosh reviewer Kaat says Fleshgod Apocalypse's Labyrinth is her Album of the Year so far

Now the dust from the public lawsuit between Kyuss Lives! (John Garcia, Brant Bjork and Nick Oliveri) and the remaining ex-Kyuss men Josh Homme and Scott Reeder has died down, the newly named Vista Chino can do what they do best. And damn, do they do it well. Named after, …

Pelgrim is a 5 headed band from Tilburg (Netherlands). They are growing fast and only with less than 2 years in existence, are making big progress. With a  mix of styles like prog, djent and hardcore, they bring forth a good example of the younger metal scene in the Netherlands. …

With the recent release of Watain‘s sensational new album, “The Wild Hunt“, PlanetMosh had the opportunity to conduct an interview with enigmatic frontman, Erik Danielsson.   How do you think “The Wild Hunt” differs from earlier albums? It has different songs, different sound, different lyrics and different artwork.   You refer …

Annihilator re-release two of their earlier albums ‘All For You’ (2004) and ‘Schizo Deluxe’ (2005), along with the ‘Live Annihilation’ live recorded album. I decided to look at these three albums with fresh eyes and discuss the relevance it has to date. ‘All For You’ was the first on my list. …
