  • If The Flatliners are half as fatty as these french fries, then Imma stay the fuck away!

    … Rock ‘n Roll Hall of Fame.  Did I mention that Jethro Tull won a Grammy?  Oh yeah, I already wrote about that…  Mind you, the Metal/Hard category at the Junos seems to have done a pretty decent job of rewarding relevant artists, with past winners Woods of Ypres and KEN Mode.  The only quibble…

  • Beastwars – The Death of All Things

    … that the Motorhead vocals don’t work as well on some of the lighter moments, such as heard on the angular, proggy “Black Days” or the slow buildup of “Holy Man.” The leather-lunged yelping can work well in a heavier context, but it would be better if the vocals were as dynamic as the instrumentation.…

  • Vilipend – Detonating Metallic Parameters

    … input. What that whole means is, of course, up to the listener to interpret. My goals have always been simple: the next rehearsal, the next show, the next new song, the next recording. You take care of the work and pay attention to the little details and the bigger stuff will come and you’ll…

  • Book reviews by Steve Earles: horror cinema

    … classic Big Trouble In Little China), Vampire Circus, The Satanic Rites of Dracula, Dracula A.D 1972, Scars of Dracula and a great favourite of mine, Taste the Blood of Dracula.

  • Hammer Complete by Howard Maxford

    … very close to making a film called ‘Nessie’ about the Loch Ness Monster. Now that would have been fun. Having pillaged Bram Stoker’s ‘Dracula ‘, Hammer considered an adaptation of Stoker’s ‘The Lair of the White Worm’, eventually made by the late great Ken Russell (the film is bonkers, but well worth watching!). They…

    It’s fair to say Cherry Red are doing a grand job on curating and preserving Ken Hensley’s legacy, and Tales Of Live Fire & Other Mysteries is a worthy addition to that cannon. While Ken’s work with Uriah Heap is sublime I feel this collection really shows his versatility as an artist. Overall, a well…

    … the fold and a different guest bassist chipping in for each song, not only was this night’s revolving-door lineup fitting for this incredibly unstable band, but it ended up working very well. Once they started cranking out a collection of tunes from last year’s decent In the Shadow of a Thousand Suns, the music…

  • Virulence – If This Isn’t a Dream… 1985-1989

    … heavy bits—his vocals were standard, raw-leather hardcore barks that didn’t really fit with the direction the band was taking. In addition to the reissued If This Isn’t A Dream full-length are a dozen tunes recorded live and/or taken from various split 7 inchers, which show the evolution of the Virulence sound. A pretty cool…
