The line up for Tuska 2016 at Suvilahti, Helsinki, Finland, just keeps getting bolder and more beautiful. Swedish atmospheric masters KATATONIA have been confirmed to put their spell on Tuska 2016. Entertainment values will be shot through the roof when Finland’s hard rock ambassador LORDI brings his “The Arockalypse 2006 …

Now this is a night I had been anticipating eagerly.  It’s a rarity that every band on the bill is this talented and delivers such a powerful live performance, and I am so happy to say I was not disappointed!  This show was one of my favourites I’ve attended this …

Arriving at the O2 Institute Library there was already a pleasingly a large queue for tonight’s show. Unusual in its design, you enter the venue through a set of doors onto the small balcony, which provided a good view of the already growing crowd at the barrier. It was disappointing …

It doesn’t matter how many times you attend, the Marble Factory in Bristol is a very odd venue, even more so when people don’t usually start turning up for a gig until about fifteen minutes before doors open – and that’s taking into account them opening late as well. Nevertheless, …

What can I say about Delain, one of the hottest bands in Europe, and a healthy fan base in the U.K. to boot. Their headline set on the Sophie Lancaster stage at this years Bloodstock guaranteed to reduce more than a few grown men to tears when the opening bars …

With Bloodstock Open Air Festival now only 2 weeks away, we asked the inhabitants of PlanetMosh Towers to recommend a few bands (and entertainment) that you need to see at Catton Hall. Before you start scanning the advance weather forecasts and packing your tents, take the time to check out …

Next week, Sweden’s avid war historians SABATON will kick off their highly-anticipated 27-date North American tour with headliners NIGHTWISH!

Tonight was my first gig of the year, and what a great way to kick the year off – three great live bands on one bill. First up were Finnish band Battle Beast here on only their second visit to the UK.  Last time they played London they gave headliners …

I had the pleasure of chatting with Charlotte Wessels from Delain before their sold out show at The Cathouse in Glasgow. We discuss their UK tour, Otto’s confetti injury, and the 2014 album The Human Contradiction and a few other things!

Friday the 28th of November 2014 was ‘Black Friday’ for many. Fortunately for me the main black in my Friday was being worn by the line of Delain fans waiting outside The Cathouse in Glasgow for the last date of Dutch symphonic metal band Delain’s short UK tour. The doors opened promptly …

After the successful release of  The Human Contradiction in April and a grand tour with Within Temptation throughout Europe, DELAIN were able to convince completely fans and critics with their great live show, Charlotte’s power voice and bombastic symphonic metal anthems. Now the sympathetic Dutch are confirmed as special guest …

The queue outside stretching round the block showed that tonight’s gig was either sold out or pretty damn close, and it’s not surprising really – tonight’s lineup sees Within Temptation paired with the best support they could have chosen – Delain. Delain have been rising in popularity rapidly in the …

.@planetmosh gets to grips with the new @delainmusic release. Within Temptation may be the undisputed torchbearers for the Dutch metal scene right now, but Delain are also causing tremors of their own. Having formed out of their fellow countrymen in 2002 (founding member Martijn Westerholt played keyboards in WT), they …
