So first up let me say this gig was so badly organised we felt sorry for the bands. There was some mix up along the way which left the bands pretty pissed off so we missed out on an interview with Skindred, BUT now that’s out the way I wanna get on with the live review,…
Fresh from my interview with Katatonia frontman Jonas Renkse (coming soon exclusively here on rocksins.com) in the side bar in the Garage that I never knew existed, I got to slip into the main room shortly before doors, so got a drink and got myself an excellent position for the opening band, Long Distance Calling…
Destrophy, have you heard of them? Don’t worry, you sure as fuck will. These four architects of metal hail from Iowa and whatever the hell they put in the water there, the rest of world could definitely use a glass or two. From start to finish the show was balls to the wall brutality mixed…
My most recent live encounter with Lostprophets at their Q Awards gig at The Forum in Kentish Town in October was for me, probably the worst live experience I have had in 7 years of seeing the Welsh 6 piece live, mainly due to the awful sound quality of the venue (nothing much wrong with…

Rocksins’ latest live metal review comes to you straight from the US of A. I was going to write a review on the entire lineup of this year’s Stillbornfest acts but it ended up being more so about one band than any of the others so I have decided to scrap my original plan and…
When you see a gig advertised jam packed with up and coming British Metal bands for the price of £8, you know you should be there, even more when the latest (and arguably greatest, sorry Malefice and Exit Ten) metal band to come out of Reading in the last few years, Sylosis, are headlining the…
Imagine if you will, a vehicle so evil and menacing that the very sight of it strikes terror deep into your soul.

Feel your body being viciously thrown to the ground as…
