Event Reviews

  Well where to start? I’m on the train to Destroyers of the Faith at the ABC in Glasgow. I am bricking it as in a few hours I shall be interviewing Paul from Cannibal Corpse. No drinking for me yet, must be professional and not fan girl. Also on …

I was really looking forward to tonight, and it certainly ended up being a night to remember, but not particularly for the right reasons!   First support for Killing Joke was an American band, The Crying Spell, from Seattle.  Fronted by the incredibly tall and charismatic Len Hotrum they took …

I’ve never been to The Wedgewood Rooms in Portsmouth before and was eager to see what the venue was like and also to see how big the crowd turnout was, as I’ve never imagined there to be a huge metal scene. However as I walked down the quiet streets not …

Released February 2012 by Diptera Records I am a huge fan of Ebonillumini, Worms of Sabnock and Meads of Asphodel, so being personally asked by Chalice to review this split EP by Ebonillumini an Worms of Sabnock is a real honour. The Ep consists of four Ebonillumini tracks and six Worms of …

Beholder are currently touring around the UK with The Black Flag Tour. Instead of having a touring support act, Beholder have done things differently, all the supports act are local and different per gig. On tonight’s bill we had Diementia, Kahbela as Zombie Militia had to cancel at the last …

  Saturday night and it’s time to head off to the Garage in Islington for the final show of Girlschool’s Hit and Run revisited  tour and first up this evening are Nottingham’s Ng26. Having been in the venue earlier in the day talking to Ng26 I was looking forward to …

Friday night in Camden with three fantastic bands on tonight’s bill at the Unicorn, first up we have the brilliant Hybris who are a relatively new thrash outfit consisting of James (vocals) Achilles and Federica (guitars) Liv (Bass) and Dimitris (Drums). You will recognise James as he is also the …

Another one of my special mention reviews as I had headed along to the Unicorn in Camden to catch fantastic Welsh metallers Triaxis and the equally brilliant Elimination on their End of Days tour however as we (Planetmosh) have already reviewed the first show of the tour (which you can …

    Boddickers really bring a lively, friendly atmosphere, as their local fans gather round the stage area of Retro Bar. So they get off to a not so good start… first song drummer Jim Cattell snaps his drum stick and everything comes to a halt as he retrieves another.  Jim is …

Opening the nights proceedings at this North Wales triple header are local heroes Inferno (8/10) who see this nights set as a valuable warm up before there forthcoming slot at this years Hammerfest shindig in a couple of weeks time. If you’ve not come across this band before think Q.O.T.S.A. …

Tonight’s show was the last night on the UK leg of the current Rammstein European tour.  I’d been hearing great reports from friends who’d been to earlier dates on the tour so was definitely looking forward to seeing them.  Getting to photograph them just made a gig I was looking …

  After about 12 months, the Nottingham based noisemongers Evil Scarecrow returned to The Sanctuary rock club in Burnley to show that the heavier side of metal has not got to be played with a frown but  to bring a hilarious sense of showmanship to their music but which  does …

As I turned up at White Rabbit, Plymouth I noticed there was a quiet turn out for the gig this evening, with bands such as Origin and Psycroptic playing I expected a larger crowd, forgetting it was a Monday (school) night, however even with the turn out, I knew it …

It’s the 25th of February and I am in the Pivo Pivo in Glasgow having a beer while sound checks take place. This is my first live review but this situation isn’t a new one for me. I am a bit anxious about reviewing my partner’s band as it may …

  Logic would dictate that for my first gig review I’d go for a band more well-known on the gig circuit, a band that’s been on the scene for years with a large and loyal fan base. But I thought I’d do something different today and bring to your attention …

  We braved torrential rain to find the Birmingham Ballroom for the first ever Midlands Goth Festival. Not knowing quite what to expect, we had a wander around the Dark Market taking in the exquisite sights and sounds of the many stalls that were set up.   Planning to interview some …

Before I go on some of you looking at the date and the venue for this gig will be thinking “Hold on didn’t Alestorm play there that night” and you would not be wrong however the Planetmosh team have already reviewed an Alestorm show from just a few nights previous …

‘Come and witness the end of the universe with a brutalistic night of true devil worship with London towns most negative extreme metal acts’ says the flyer.  Not bad considering the door fee was only a fiver, and as it was also held at The Intrepid Fox I thought I …

Live Review: As the bands reached Southampton it was the nineteenth date into their mammoth UK tour. The Cellar, an absolutely rammed tiny venue for such epic bands, with no more than literally a hundred people filling up the venue and more still queuing to get in I thought to …

A freezing cold Friday evening in London and I am tonight at the Boston music Rooms for Night By Night’s single release party however before that we have the pleasure of Six Hour Sundown’s a set from Six Hour Sundown. In case you have not heard of Six Hour Sundown …
