Your Demise – White Rabbit, Plymouth, UK – 26/02/2011 – Live Review

And what a concert it was. Los Angeles’ biggest buzz band at the moment, Letlive, open up tonight’s show and provide what turns out to be the best set of the… Continue reading

Defeater and Carpathian – Underworld, Camden, UK – 21/02/2011 – Live Review

[/caption] It’s hardcore night down the Camden Underworld tonight with no less than five bands bashing out their variations on the classic ‘core formula.

A fairly tight proposition made even more impressive when you learn they are a band not yet one year… Continue reading

Stigma – "Concerto for the Undead" – Album Review

[/caption] In terms of aesthetic, Italy’s Stigma certainly don’t mess about: their sophomore effort positively revolves around old-school horror themes, and the cartoon-zombie cover art gives a pretty good idea of the tongue-in-cheek gothic imagery they’re aiming for – the entirety of their lyrics are based on stories from cult horror comic Tales from the Crypt. Not that their sound is in any way gimmicky: this is proper guitar-centric metal and… Continue reading
