The good people at desertscene.co.uk have arranged a UK tour for the legendary New Orleans sludge band Eyehategod.  They areset to to return to the UK with The Gates of Slumber in July and August 2013.  The 2011 and 2012 UK dates were sold out with fans being turned away from the doors so we advise you to get tickets as soon as they go on sale (no on sale date confirmed yet).

The Garage brought shelter from the gloomy rainy Sunday for doom fans this weekend yet London decided to be fashionably late.  Witchsorrow took to the stage with roughly 40 people spaced out inside it's large interior.  Opening with "Aurora Atra" the 3 piece break the normal stage mould with drummer Dave and his kit sandwiched between Nick and Emily front of stage.  It made for an interested show, rather than being buried at the back I could watch him smack the hell out of his kit right under the front house lights.  Witchsorrow may not be breaking any ground with their material firmly routed in traditional doom but if it ain't broke, then why fix it?  Witchsorrow do it well, throwing up a good mix of Sabbath and Vitus vibes, some extremely slow sections, and some faster paced full rock out moments.  Thankfully for the band as the set went on the venue started to fill...

Italian legends Forgotten Tomb have announced a rare UK appearance scheduled for the 6th May 2013 upstairs at The Garage in Highbury, London.  The band regarded as one of the pioneers of the depressive/suicidal black metal sub genre have expanding their sound throughout their career taking on elements from other areas, cascading into doom, goth and more recently black 'n roll.  This London date marks their first ever appearance in the UK, and at present we have no word of other planned UK dates but will update the site if we hear anything further.  Their new...

Due to Hurricane Sandy I'm sure you're all aware that lots of flights have been cancelled.  The promoter for the Pentagram UK tour Francis Mace has been working extremely hard to move things around and make this still happen.  Due to delays in flights the Bristol date has had to move.  The fact a date is still going ahead in Bristol means we have to give big respect to the promoter and venues involved, for managing to move things around at such short notice. Please find all the info below in regard to the Bristol date change from the promoter.  London, Manchester and Glasgow are still going ahead as normal.

As I'm sure most of you are well aware - Hurricane Sandy has been looming over the East Coast of America for the past 48hrs and has caused a state of emergency to be declared in most major East Coast cities.
