Baroness Relief fund

Baroness Relief

As I'm sure you must have heard last August the band Baroness were involved in an accident when their bus crashed off a bridge whilst on their UK tour. The band have been left with some SERIOUS medical bills and so a month later Loopy Fiasco (Baroness sound engineer), Rennie Jaffe (Manager of Relapse Records) and Nath (Baroness web dude) set out as friends of the band to do whatever they...

Album Review: Usnea – s/t

Usnea self titled Usnea review If there was a band that has impressed me so much and had me hooked from the very first minute of listening, that band would have to be Usnea. And these guys have left me in pure awe.

And their music is oh so hard to describe, lots of funeral doom influence, actually a mixture of doom styles. Black metal has a big impact on the vocal delivery and the feeling and atmosphere of the music. There is also a fantastic range of drone and experiments of noisy unstructured phrases that do add dynamic and dimension to the songs.

What does the...

LIVE REVIEW: Primitive Graven Image Ninkharsag and Wode Liverpool Lomax

Primitive Graven Image Lomax Liverpool

Owing to a flat tyre I arrived at this gig just in time to hear the very last chord of Crypt Lurker’s set. Walking into a fifty strong crowd who were obviously well satisfied with the set they had just seen. After speaking to several it seemed that Crypt Lurker had just pulled off their best set to date. I’m genuinely gutted to have missed it.

Next up and the first act playing were Manchester based Wode. They were according to their tumblr site formed in 2010 and play Atmospheric Black metal/crust. I’d not heard of them before so Wode were an unknown commodity and when they...

Desertfest Seven Churches stage preview

Bong Seven Churches Think Desertfest, think desert bands, right? Wrong!

This year on the Saturday Seven Churches will be curating the Black Heart stage and organisers Matt and Josh have gathered a truly inspired selection from the cream of the underground spanning all...

Knuckledust London Koko

Yes it may say metalgigs at the top but we cover all forms of heavy music on the site so when Louise sent me through the news that Ninjafest was coming back for 2013 I had to get this up. Here's all the official info that's been sent through:

NINJAFEST 2013... BACK FROM THE DEAD

Putting on its first edition in 2002 at The Dome in North London, Ninjafest became a European Hardcore staple over the next six years. From its humble beginnings as a two-day festival headlined by Heaven Shall Burn and Liar, the two girls behind Ninjafest – May and Rachel – took their idea of starting an annual hardcore festival in the UK and turned it into the unmissable yearly party it eventually became.

Playing host to bands such as Champion, No Redeeming Social Value, Terror...
