Gig Review: BATTLE BEAST, MAJESTY and GYZE at The Slade Rooms, Wolverhampton (UK) 22/03/2017

I arrived at the Slade Rooms in time to catch the last song of Japanese Metal band Gyze's set, so I can't really comment on their show. What I heard sounded good, kinda like Children of Bodom or Norther, so I'll have to check them out at a later date.

Gig Review: DEVILSKIN / SUMO CYCO / EVA PLAYS DEAD at Rebellion Rock Bar, Manchester (UK) 14/03/2017

Last night I had the pleasure of going to Manchester to see this show. I have to be honest and say that I wasn't overly familiar with Eva Plays Dead or Devilskin. I was there primarily for Sumo Cyco, as I bought their debut album Lost In Cyco City a while ago and loved it, so last night was finally my chance to get to see them play live.

Movie Review:GINGERDEAD MAN VS. EVIL BONG

I don't normally review movies that haven't come out recently at the cinema or on Blu-ray / DVD, but with 2013's Gingerdead Man vs. Evil Bong I'm making an exception. How can I watch such a thing and not write about it?

Movie Review: TRAIN TO BUSAN

Train to Busan is a Korean zombie film, or 'infected film' if you're a zombie purist, in a similar vein to 28 days Later. I noticed an advert for it last week on the internet, and it has already been showered with praise from the film industry, so I decided to check it out and see if it lives up to the hype.

Movie Review: LIGHTS OUT

I saw the trailer for Lights Out a few weeks ago and I thought it looked great. It was really creepy and looked like it could be the next popular ghost franchise like The Ring or The Grudge. Unfortunately, it had already been and gone at the cinema, so I had to wait patiently for the Blu-ray release.

Gig Review: KREATOR, SEPULTURA, SOILWORK & ABORTED at The Academy, Manchester (UK) 28/02/2017

With fantastic new albums from Kreator and Sepultura this year (check out my reviews on this blog here and here), I was really looking forward to this show. I must confess that I didn't turn up in time to see Aborted. I could hear them playing their last song as I was walking to the venue's front door. I still think that 18:10 is insanely early to start a Metal show, but anyway.....
