High Voltage is like no other UK festival. Curated by Classic Rock magazine, with help from their friends at Metal Hammer and one or two other places, the line-up boasted some of the finest old school names in prog rock, some up and coming metal bands, a one off reunion, a farewell headline appearance and…

This was the first time that I’d actually seen Anathema in concert despite being a fan of their music for some time; Jamie however had seen them and had been none too impressed by the experience. With myself, as a ‘fan’, we debated their creditability but decided we’d both catch them at High Voltage to…
Those “huge rock stars” Fozzy, led by the all round entertainer Chris ‘Y2J’ Jericho and The Duke Of Metal Rich Ward hit London for the first time in over a year on Sunday night for the last night of what has been Fozzy’s biggest European tour to date. We went along to Dingwalls in Camden…

While She Sleeps are easily one of the most promising bands in Britain today. Just take a listen to their début mini-album the North Stands For Nothing, the crushing combination of metal and hardcore really sets them apart from every other band in the British music scene right now. But anyone can make a good…

If your answer is no, you might as well stop reading now, this album is not for you. However, if you are a fan, and you’ve been patiently waiting for Gold Cobra since the…
I am by no means an expert of Symphony X, having heard some of their previous albums but not having much more than passing familarity. However when the chance to review their latest offering came along I jumped at the chance, anxious for the chance to review what could be one of the power metal…
[gameinfo title=”Album Info” album_name=”Passion” publishers=”Candlelight Records” genres=”Black/grind/filthy metal” release_date=”23/05/11″ buy_link=”https://playcom.at/rocksins/19510678.html”] There is no doubt that Passion has very lofty expectations to live up to, after Anaal Nathrakh’s previous effort, In the Constellation of the Black Widow. Although it’s taken me a while to realise just how good Passion is, it more than lives up to…
