The birthplace of Sabbath still draws riffs like iron filings to a magnet, and tonight the pull is strong, Thrash of the Titans hit the O₂ Academy like a siege engine. Testament and Obituary headlined, flanked by Destruction and Nervosa. Four bands, four […]

Feeder and Tom Speight at Manchester Academy.
On a crisp October evening in Manchester, Feeder took over Academy 1 with a show that blended nostalgia, energy, and storytelling — with Tom Speight setting the tone in the best possible way.

King Diamond / Paradise Lost / Unto Others – Manchester Academy.
Unto Others First up are gothy/doomy rockers Unto Others, from Portland, USA. I’d not heard their music before but a friend said before the gig that they’d likely be right up my street, so I checked them out. On first impressions they struck me as like a slightly lighter version of Paradise Lost – a […]

On the same day that thousands flooded Manchester for the annual Marathon, another kind of endurance event was brewing inside The Deaf Institute — one packed with riffs, chaos, and a hell of a lot of heart. RedHook, all the way from Sydney, Australia, brought their signature genre-blurring madness to a sold-out crowd for their […]
Drown in Sulphur – Satan’s Hollow, Manchester.
This is a big show, 5 bands in total on a Monday night. The last time we attended a deathcore show with this many bands the organisation was terrible and no one had a single clue what was going on and people left early, so this one as a second experience for myself could only […]
