Metalgigs is still going

Godsized Brighton Concorde 2

Just a very quick update for you all and a random photo of Godsized with an impressive beard.  This is just to let you know that gig listings are continuing to be updated, but news posts have stopped, i didn't want people to come on the site and think it's not being updated, it is on the listings page, just not on the news. I'd like to thank all the bands, promoters, and the public who are adding listings to help keep every one of our 10,000+ visitors a month in the know about the latest gigs.  

Due to ongoing personal family matters I will not be updating the news for the foreseeable future, but will continue with the listings side.  To all those that have offered to help during this period, the best thing you can do is add gigs if you see they are missing and keep the site listings fresh whilst I deal with the ongoing matters. Keep an eye and follow the facebook page as i will be using this for tour announcements and news updates from now on.  THANK YOU to all those that have reached out, your support is appreciated, Antony Roberts (Metalgigs owner).

ALBUM REVIEW: Power Trip Manifest Decimation

Power Trip Manifest Decimation coverIf, after the intro of building feedback leading into a swinging butchers block of a riff, echo-drenched vocals and huge, cavernous drums you are not transported directly back to the (wholly imagined on my part) mean streets of 1988 New York teeming with the likes of Leeway, The Cro-Mags and Thrash Metal period Agnostic Front, then I don't know WHAT to think.

Throw in the relentless intensity of 'Beneath the Remains' Sepultura, the 'careering wildly out of control' feel of 'Eternal Nightmare' and the total headbang/neckbreak of 'Taking Over' and you've got yourself a hell of an album, what i think of as crossover much more than the party thrash of Municipal Waste or Toxic Holocaust...
