King manages to take these theatrical aspirations to even…
Sadly in the current climate, festival cancellations are no longer the shock they once were. But this one really sucks and will sadden a lot of people. Last night it was announced that the 2016 Hevy Fest would no longer take place, and that it is likely that 2015 was the last year for Hevy…

So, no one saw this coming but what a wonderful surprise it was! A few days ago it was announced that the hallowed Donington Park turf that houses the Download Festival would in 2016 house a WWE wrestling ring in addition to the approximately 100 bands who will play the multiple stages of the festival….
Words: Sam Dignon. Photos: Fran Dignon After headlining some of the biggest venues of their career in 2015, Cancer Bats returned to the UK at the beginning of this year to play a bunch of far more intimate show. Incite (5) kicked things off tonight with a set of fairly bland metal. It wasn’t awful…
British metal outfit Thrones just took the crown for last weeks’ video of the contest by the length of a fret from Cardinal Bay. But that was last week’s competition, and once again now there are another five bands ready to do battle in this weeks vote. First up are pop punk royalty All Time…
