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…
The first band to grace the stage tonight is Don Broco, who take to the stage with insane levels of energy. The band play a very short set but still manage to incite a circle pit and even get a wall of death during the very first song. It’s clear from this performance that this…
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…
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…
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…
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…
April 1st: Time for practical jokes and spoofs, and possibly some traditional April showers. It was also the opening night of what has become the annual Bowling For Soup UK Acoustic Tour by BFS frontman Jaret Reddick and bassist and generous timegiver to Rocksins Erik Chandler. I was fortunate enough to attend the London show…
