Disturbed Ignites The O2 With 25 Years of Sickness, Fire, and Fury! The Sickness 25th Anniversary Tour Sunday, October 26, 2025! On a dark wet October Sunday, the cavernous O2 Arena didn’t just host a metal gig, it became a pressure cooker of theatrical aggression, industrial terror, and anthemic power as Disturbed unleashed the London […]
Megadeth Bring Holy Wars And High Voltage Thunder To The 02! The air inside The O2 was thick with anticipation on Sunday night, a buzzing energy reserved only for the true titans of thrash metal. The crowd, a vast tapestry of generations, was a vivid illustration of Megadeth’s four-decade-long musical legacy and enduring relevance. Despite […]
In their recent US Tour, The Psychedelic Furs took Gary Numan out as their support and in recent tours of the UK we have seen the likes of Wendy James and Jah Wobble added to some wonderful bills. Anja Huwe, known from Xmal Deutschland is here to entertain this Yorkshire crowd. It’s an interesting performance, […]
I’ve only heard support Silveroller’s gloriously titled ‘At Dawn’ ep once, and seen them at one festival, and yet their songs resonated with me immediately. They have a deep appreciation of Rock ‘n’ Roll combined with the energy and enthusiasm of youth. It’s like the early seventies all over again – complete with Rod Steward’s […]
The Molotovs The Voice of the People, The Sound of the Revolution, Rock The Electric Ballroom to Its Very Core! To call a Molotov’s gig a mere ‘concert’ is to entirely miss the point! It’s not just entertainment, it’s an urgent, visceral political rally disguised as a punk show, drenched in sweat and noise, and […]
The Voice of Redemption! Glenn Hughes’ ‘The Chosen Years’ Tour! A Deep Dive into the Purple Soul! To witness Glenn Hughes on stage during “The Chosen Years” tour is to attend a masterclass in musical redemption. It is not merely a concert; it is a vital, living exhibition of rock history, focused intensely on the […]
Wind Rose Reign Victorious! The Night Electric Brixton Fell to Glory, Metal, and Pure Dwarven Metal Joy! The physical aftermath is real. Two days later, my throat is still shredded, my voice pretty much absent, my body is an aching protest, but my heart is absolutely bursting, vibrating with the afterglow of pure joy. The […]
The Helsinki Vampires Reign Supreme: A Darkly Seductive Night with The 69 Eyes! The air in the Islington Academy was thick with an intoxicating mixture of anticipation and dark desire. Tonight wasn’t just a gig; it was a ritual, a summoning of the Helsinki Vampires, The 69 Eyes, and their faithful, besotted congregation. From the […]
W.A.S.P. have taken their ‘Album ONE Alive World Tour’ across the Americas and Europe and were back to finish the UK, culminating in their London date at Hammersmith Apollo before going back to Europe. They have only grown in intensity along the way! Before the London show Blackie hosted about twenty VIPs for a very […]
Halestorm is ripping through North America in support of the new album ‘Everest.’ The quartet played at the Treasure Island Amphitheater in Welch, Minnesota on a beautiful September night and played a nineteen song set that had the crowd on their feet and singing the entire night. The hard rocking band Halestorm blew […]
Gracing the Brudenell Stage on this Autumn night were two artists that I have been lucky enough to see numerous times over the last thirty odd years. Both are almost chameleon like in the way their careers have developed over that time. I first saw (and indeed reviewed) tonight’s headliner when playing with The Almighty […]
Review & Photography: Aggie Anthimidou Opening for King Diamond at Roundhouse, Unto Others made the most of their shorter slot, proving once again why they’re one of the most exciting bands in gothic rock today. Though briefer than the setlist we enjoyed at Kentish Town earlier this year, the performance was no less impactful, their […]
