With both pioneers crafting music for over three decades, it’s very welcome that there are no supporting acts, permitting both veterans to deploy longer sets to better reflect their careers.…

Bridear – October 7th, 2021 – Birmingham, UK
It is not very often we see a Japanese band playing in Birmingham; therefore I did not want to miss the chance to catch Bridear – an all female heavy metal band performing live at the Castle & Falcon. Setting sights on the global stage, Bridear began hitting the road at the end of September to tour Europe…

HRH Goth Fest, Day 2, Leeds, UK

Boots ‘n Booze (comic book w/ 7” single)
Whether it was intentional or not (and, given the multi-media-angled nature of this release, which combines a comic book with a 7” single, it may indeed be intentional), Pirates Press and the Swingin’ Utters have actually done something pretty surprising with Boots ‘n Booze; while other bands (like NOFX, Butthole Surfers, The Replacements, Rancid and…

Death Angel – The Enigma Years (1987-1990)
Death Angel were one of the very best metal bands to come out of the 80’s (and that is no mean feat in the decade that gave us amazing music from bands like Sabbat, Metallica, Bathory, Slayer, Venom, Voivod, Soundgarden, Iron Maiden, and so many more).
