Lamb of God, 12/02/2010, Manchester Academy

by Mike Perry 16. February 2010 10:27
I'd been looking forward to tonight since I first read about it and snapped up my ticket way back in September last year. To see two of my favourite bands on the same bill (Lamb of God and Between the Buried and Me), along with a band I've been meaning to catch live for some time (Job for a Co... [More]

Opeth announce six dates in 2010 to celebrate their 20th anniversary

by Mike Perry 6. December 2009 20:10
I feel as though I must pre-empt this blog entry with a huge fan-boy warning. Opeth have been one my favourite bands for some time now, so the following post may seem rather biased, but to me, and a lot of other Opeth fans, this is rather significant news...

Live review: Napalm Death, 28/11/09, Club Academy, Manchester

by Mike Perry 30. November 2009 21:41
Considering both the number of metal fans that are in Manchester, and the fact that tonight's show was a mere £10 a ticket, Club Academy is inexplicably quiet tonight. This becomes depressingly apparent as opening act Apparitions of the End blast through an impressively tight 20-odd minu... [More]

Mastodon announce UK tour dates...

by Mike Perry 23. November 2009 16:38
Mastodon are a band of contradictions. They're heavier than a lot of other bands out there, yet have no metal pretensions. They sing about fantasy worlds and mythical creatures, yet aren't the sort of guys you'll see propping up the counter at Fantasy Workshop. They've recorded concept albums base... [More]

Grind legends Napalm Death finish off tour in Leeds and Manchester; set to return in January

by Mike Perry 23. November 2009 14:12
You'd be forgiven for thinking that a band that's been around for over 20 years might start taking it a little easier. However, this is far from the case where UK grindcore legends Napalm Death are concerned, who having spawned the genre back in the 80s, still tour with remarkable frequ... [More]

Cannabis Corpse UK dates

by Mike Perry 6. November 2009 14:43
Cannabis Corpse, as the name suggests, are interested in two things: death metal and smoking weed.   Filtering the music of Cannibal Corpse through the haze of 'doober' smoke ('Blunted at Birth', 'I Will Smoke You', 'Staring Through My Eyes that are Red'… you get the picture), th... [More]
