The Temperance Movement selected Bush Hall as an intimate venue for the London date of a tour that showcases highlights from the band’s two successful albums, reworked for the purpose of acoustic live performance. The small, beautiful intimate West London venue proves an excellent choice for a subdued, intimate show that bares all to the…
Summer 2016 was one of change for Swedish melodeath giants Soilwork. The band had seen great critical success with 2015’s The Ride Majestic and were preparing to tour in support of new rarities compilation Death Resonance when news broke that longtime drummer Dirk Verbeuren had left to join Bay Area thrash icons Megadeth. This didn’t…
The Amity Affliction are back, this time with a UK/European tour in support of their latest release, I Think This Could Be Heartbreak. The line up tonight reads like a mashup of genres, with four very different bands mixing together to provide a night of entertainment at London’s Roundhouse. Wage War [7] pack a big…
After over a decade of thrashing out metalcore albums ranging from incredible to downright flat, Bullet For My Valentine returned to their roots to perform their first LP “The Poison” in full in between regular “best of” sets. They brought along fellow metal stalwarts from across the pond, Killswitch Engage (8). Killswitch’s setlist is an…
Rise Records’ best bands descended on the UK last month when The Rise Up Tour arrived in London, headed up by Memphis May Fire. Openers Like Moths to Flames [7] are a higher quality support than your basic opening band, their brand of energetic high octane hardcore infusing the crowd with their energy. A set time…
Listening to the muttered words in the queue winding around the o2 Academy Brixton, small complaints could be heard about how those patiently waiting had never seen so many people waiting to attend a show. With the release of their latest album, Misadventures, Pierce The Veil were touring the UK, bringing their supports, Letlive and…
Tonight is a special night for myself as I get to shoot one of my favourite bands at the moment, Frank Carter & The Rattlesnakes. First time seeing them in Nottingham and third time seeing them this year, this is going to be an exceptional evening…for everyone! First up is The MVP’s who bring a…
When Alter Bridge are in town, Rock Sins will follow. Add the Danish rock stylings of Volbeat and the French mastery of Gojira into the mix, and it was nothing less than one of 2016’s must see tours. After two hugely successful visits to Wembley, Alter Bridge have graduated to The O2 Arena in London,…
There’s something special about a reunion with an old friend that you haven’t seen for 8 years, and the news of a new Feeder album followed by a UK tour was greeted with open arms by those wishing to toast the “good old days”. As the crowd arrived at London’s Roundhouse to take part in…
Tonight is the first time Ice Nine Kills play Nottingham and it feels that way from the queue outside Rock City and a busy room even during the opening acts. Shields are up first who are dominant on the stage and produce beautiful yet destructive riffs. The energy from Shields is always at an all-time…
Once again the Impericon Never Say Die tour rolls around to London bringing the usual mix of Deathcore, Metalcore and Hardcore. This year tour had an added element of excitement with it being Whitechapel’s first proper UK tour in five years. With A ridiculously early set time and being one of two hardcore bands on…
Forget bonfire night, last night in the O2 Academy, Birmingham was a night to remember. Grand Magus, Testament and Amon Amarth. Could anyone even come up with a more awesome or well rounded line-up? I must confess, I was unfortunate enough to miss Grand Magus’ set. I’ve seen them before and loved every second so…
