Local band Colours To Shame take to the stage shortly after doors open, there’s not much of a crowd, but the band still put on the best show they can. The two guitarists are the best thing about the band, shredding their way through a short set. [6] Up next are another local band What’s…

At times, however, it can create something verging on the spectacular; it was only last year that Anathema achieved…
[gameinfo title=”Album Info” album_name=”Human Remains” publishers=”Nuclear Blast” genres=”NWOBHM” release_date=”13/05/11″ buy_link=”https://playcom.at/rocksins/19055475.html”] Albums like this really don’t come along too often. In an age where music is so easily accessible and consequentially disposable, it is rare to find an album that will bully its way into your eardrums, kicking out any other bands vying for your attention….

Never a band fond of keeping things the same, this German four…
Kamelot are, in my opinion, one of the best power metal bands going, up there with the legendary ones such as Blind Guardian. I would never, under normal circumstances, miss a live show of theirs without a very good reason. However, it was announced several months ago that singer Roy Khan would be taking this…
After instantly forgettable local band Sintonic [1] we have the hotly tipped Romeo Must Die. To say this band were energetic would be a massive understatement. Vocalist Adam bounced around the stage like a mad man for almost the entire 45 minute set, only stopping to hang from the railings on the ceiling and scream…

You’d get something along the lines of Mayan. The new supergroup…
Although tonight was being looked forward to with great excitement, it didn’t start too well. My camera was left in the car and we were already in a rush, then we turn up at the venue and have the fiasco of finding out that the guestlist spot was non-existent, only to find out later that…

With promises being made that the album will return to the earlier Foo Fighters sound and the return of original guitarist…
The crowd was very sparse indeed when Trenchhead took to the stage. It isn’t exactly rare for the first band on to have a thin crowd, and it didn’t help that Trenchhead’s music was a particularly uninteresting variant of slam. The songs had little variation, and it didn’t help that the band seemed to take…
