I was looking forward to the tonight’s gig at King Tut’s with Paradise Lost, Insomnium and Vreid gracing the stage. Paradise Lost had just released their 13th studio album ‘Tragic Idol‘ that day so was really looking forward to hearing some more of the new tracks live and as well …

Tonight was the first night of Australian band Tracer’s first UK headlining tour.  They were in the UK last late last year supporting Royal Republic, and are now back.  It’s impressive – less than six months ago they were the support band at the Underworld, but now they’re headlining the …
