While we spoke to a lot of bands both signed and unsigned at Bloodstock, we were unable to manage to speak to all the up and coming  bands who played the New Blood stage, so have been catching up with the ones we missed to see how they enjoyed their …

At the end of this month, PlanetMosh will be partnering with Ascendancy Promotions, Ramp Rage, T13 and XporT13 to bring Belfast ‘Assault On T13’ – the city’s biggest ever all-ages heavy metal gig, being stage at the gigantic T13 indoor extreme sports and skate park (and part of the set …

Planetmosh caught up with King of Asgard bassist, Jonas Albrektsson to chat about the Norsemen’s latest album ‘Karg‘. 1. The new album ‘Karg’ was released in July, what would you say are the main themes and influences on this new album? “Karg”, (barren) the actual word, pretty much set the atmosphere and influenced us …

Tonight’s gig was the launch party for Danny Bryant’s excellent new album, Temperature Rising. The night opened with the Tom Killner band, a three-piece from South Yorkshire.  They play a nice blues/blues rock set including plenty of guitar solos (and the solos sounded prettty damn good).  As well as their …

Unlike many “stars” of the late 80s hair metal scene, Mike Tramp is not a singer merely content to rest on the laurels of his past successes and bask in their faded glow, but is an artist who has matured gracefully and easily into someone comfortable with where he has …

I didn’t get chance to interview the bands on the day but here are some questions I put to Ben Savage by email afterwards. Find out a bit …

First up were Palm Reader.  Oh dear – a rare occasion where I’ve regretted turning up early to watch all the bands on the bill.  The first song appeared to have no tune and just be them all playing their instruments as fast as possible.  Things did improve as the …

Sometimes it is those things that are relatively unplanned – such as that impromptu meet up after work for “a couple of pints” – which turn out to be the most enjoyable.  And so it proved with this evening, which originally was scheduled to headlined by a “tribute” band, only …

Tonight’s gig at the Union Chapel was the second ever show for Devin Townsend’s Casualties of Cool project, and one of only two UK dates.  They couldn’t have chosen a better venue – as the name suggests, it’s a church, and it’s an all seated gig – perfect for relaxing …

Things didn’t look promising when I arrived at the venue shortly before the doors were due to open – just 4 fans waiting. Happily by the time the support act came on the numbers had grown, but not much – there were still only a couple of dozen fans there, …

.@mtrcd @JungleRot, Cryptopsy & Disgorge show at @AudioGlasgow reviewed by @AnybodyBC for @Planetmosh It has become the tradition to have at least one neck-cracking metal gig at the beginning of each week of the week. The first week of September was not the exception. This week it was Cryptopsy who …

Ahead of the release of their second album, Planetmosh asked Corpus and Ladyhell from the Belgian band Lovelorn Dolls a few questions…. First of all, for anyone not familiar with Lovelorn Dolls so can you tell us a little bit about the band? Corpus : Yes of course.  We are …

On the night of the 30th of August at the Banshee Labyrinth in Edinburgh six bands came together to give the mighty Bonesaw a fitting send off after 14 years of playing. Over the years Bonesaw have recorded; two demos, a debut album Sawtopsy, as well as four split EPs …

Tonight’s gig was either sold out or close to it, and it’s hardly surprising with a band like Hellyeah playing.  Of course you wouldnt have known it was a sell out if you’d turned up to watch the opening band, Gravil. Gravil have been on the whole tour with Hellyeah …

Saturday night was a very different Planetmosh experience.  Quite often we go to gigs alone, as photographers or reviewers, and don’t have anyone with us to share the experience of a gig with, to review it with over a drink afterwards, and to remember it with later on.  This time …
