Continuing the rundown of all the action from Donington, we’ve got the highlights of what the Rock Sins team managed to see on the Avalanche and Dogtooth Stages on the first day of Download Festival 2018. If you’ve missed our reviews from the main stage, and from the Zippo Encore stage, you can check out…
Savage Messiah are one of the best young bands in British metal. They meld old-school sensibilities with new school flair and have created a solid body of work for themselves. Having released a new album ‘Hands of Fate’ last year and going on a successful run supporting Cradle of Filth they closed out 2017 on…
