On Monday 18th June Brighton played host to legendary metallic hardcore band Integrity from Ohio.

 

First band Strike The Bear played to a practically empty room of 26 people.  It would have been nice if the local crowd had actually made the effort to get there early, and support the up and coming bands but c'est la vie!  They are a very young band

After the mud-bath that was 10th Download Festival 2012, hundreds of crazy metal-heads made the annual pilgrimage down the M1 to top off the weekend at Metal Hammer magazine's infamous Golden Gods Awards, which also celebrated its 10th event. Held once more at London O2's Indigo2 venue, the ceremony included incredible live performances, occasionally ludicrous acceptance speeches, and lots and lots of booze.
