Live Review: Hot Mulligan / Arms Length – The Garage, London 27.04.23
By Henry Groves Although this was a small 600 capacity venue, it didn’t stop crowds queuing to make sure they got a good spot in the Highbury music venue. By the time the support, Arms Length, came on, the venue was already near capacity. I did think it was because Hot Mulligan don’t tour the …
Live Review: Reverend and the Makers / Sam Scherdel – The Leadmill, Sheffield 29.04.23
A trip to the Leadmill in Sheffield for the Reverend and the Makers Heatwave In the Cold North album launch show. First up was Sam Scherdel and his excellent band with a stripped back semi acoustic set. No drums but an equally effective Cajon percussion replacement which helped set the right vibe. In tune with …
Live Review: Goat – Electric Brixton, London 22.04.2023

Live Review: Inferno Festival – Oslo, Norway 09.04.2023
As we descended on the Rockefeller complex for one last dose of festival magic we were obliterated right from the very start with some raw and diabolical Norwegian Black Metal by way of Urgehal. Following their split in 2016 and the hiatus that followed, Urgehal are now back and as demonic as ever. Covered in …

Live Review: Inferno Festival – Oslo, Norway 08.04.2023
Norway’s very own Vemod were the first sacrifice of the day up on the Rockefeller stage and with them, they brought their dark Ethereal Metal to the Inferno masses.
