I had the great pleasure of corresponding with new Brazilian all female Thrash outfit Nervosa and we talked about their debut album, day to day life in Nervosa, plans of touring Europe, their reaction on getting signed by Napalm and a few other things along the way…… When founding Nervosa …

Billed as a special showcase gig, highlighting the best in established and up-and-coming Northern Irish hardcore talent, this triple bill certainly lived up to its advance promotion. Openers Spittin’ Teeth are one of the few bands in the genre, at least in this part of the world, to employ a …

Anette Olzon is due to release her debut solo album, Shine next month.  Ahead of the release I spoke to her to talk about the album, whether or not she has any touring plans, and of course I asked her some questions relating to her time with Nightwish.  Read on …

“Metal is the kind of music that was made for everybody, every outcast, every misfit, everybody who didnt have friends….I think it’s silly that people who like this kind of music then become judgemental of people” I spoke to Carla and Heidi, the two singers for Butcher Babies backstage shortly …

Fibbers was under assault on Saturday night. Carnage Metal Club saw bands from the North and South convene for an aural attack on Dublin. Rex Shachath, Overoth and For Ruin were here to tell the Dublin boys to go home to their mammies –  I joke. Rex Shachath was the …

@PlanetMosh reviews .@MonsterMagnetNJ show in Wolverhampton One of a brace of UK gigs (the other being at The Koko in London), Monster Magnet made it their mission to lay waste to the packed out Wulfrun Hall which they did with ease. Lead by the charismatic riff lord Dave Wyndorf  when …

The night started with three spectacularly badly chosen opening acts which were incompatible musically and of varying levels of ability and seemed to only manage to bring one fan between the three of them. Finally, several hours after the doors opened the first of two Belgian bands took to the …

Tonight’s gig was Tarja’s first UK show outside London since leaving Nightwish.  As a result I was curious to see how big a crowd would attend, and when support band Elyose took to the stage at 7pm the venue wasn’t busy – they certainly suffered from the early start, but …

I was expecting to interview Spike but on the day it didn’t happen, probably due to some misunderstanding on my part as I am, after all, a blonde! Guy Griffin was in the bar, after the gig, so I asked if he would be prepared to answer a few questions …

  Hi James, Dave Bradbery here from Planetmosh.com. If you have time could I just ask you a few questions regards your latest album ‘Precious Metal’ that we reviewed on the website a few days ago? “Sure, send along the questions“. This new album is your ninth studio recorded album. …

It’s been almost a year since drummer Dave Lombardo was unceremoniously dumped by Slayer, on the eve of an Australian tour.  As he prepares to return to the UK for the first time since that ignominious day, PlanetMosh took the opportunity to chat with him about said visit – and, …

@PlanetMosh reviews @limpbizkit @CrossfaithJapan @Nekrogoblikon @BABY_GODZILLA Dublin show @OlympiaTheatre As the first snow of a delayed winter arrived in Dublin, so too did this year’s Kerrang! Tour. For 2014, the package consisted of a very mixed bag of musical tricks with acts from polar opposites of the sonic spectrum taking …
