These fellas are uniquely famous for their spectacular live performances, leaving nothing to coincidence. Explosions, fire, lovely multi-colour flames, all kinds of pyrotechnics that you cannot think of, burning people, etc. On the other side they are masters of interpreting love and hate in the way of excessive perversion and bizarreness. All of that combined with a heavy sound of more or less easily digestible straightforward industrial metal and extraordinary audiovisual effects, there are small chances that you could remain unsatisfied after this show. <a href="/pub/article.php?article_id=1335>Read more...</a> http://www.metalstorm.net/pub/article.php?article_id=1335 http://www.metalstorm.net/pub/article.php?article_id=1335 Abattoir Tue, 21 May 2013 00:00:00 +0200 After my three articles about the history of doom metal I thought a history of prog metal was missing, so I decided to write one of those, too. <a href="/pub/article.php?article_id=1259>Read more...</a> http://www.metalstorm.net/pub/article.php?article_id=1259 http://www.metalstorm.net/pub/article.php?article_id=1259 Aristarchos Tue, 21 May 2013 00:00:00 +0200 Clandestine Cuts Volume 3, Issue #4 <a href="/pub/article.php?article_id=1333>Read more...</a> http://www.metalstorm.net/pub/article.php?article_id=1333 http://www.metalstorm.net/pub/article.php?article_id=1333 Susan Mon, 13 May 2013 00:00:00 +0200 Over five years ago Helloween and Gamma Ray embarked on the first Hellish Rock tour; the first tour to bring together these two bands that have shared so much history with each other. As with 2008 the UK has to make do with just the one London date, and so we have to embark on that pilgrimage saved for only the special shows such as these. <a href="/pub/article.php?article_id=1328>Read more...</a> http://www.metalstorm.net/pub/article.php?article_id=1328 http://www.metalstorm.net/pub/article.php?article_id=1328 Baz Anderson Sat, 27 Apr 2013 00:00:00 +0200 The attached pictures are just a sampler - for more please go to the Picture Gallery <a href="/pub/article.php?article_id=1327>Read more...</a> http://www.metalstorm.net/pub/article.php?article_id=1327 http://www.metalstorm.net/pub/article.php?article_id=1327 D.T. Metal Sat, 27 Apr 2013 00:00:00 +0200 On the night before the show I witnessed the Metal Alliance, a concert featuring a bunch of bands I listen to regularly. Had they been a more militant alliance, there&#039;s no telling how far down Burnside (the street where the show was) they could have gotten, shredding and burning and pillaging and partying and the like. <a href="/pub/article.php?article_id=1325>Read more...</a> http://www.metalstorm.net/pub/article.php?article_id=1325 http://www.metalstorm.net/pub/article.php?article_id=1325 wormdrink414 Thu, 25 Apr 2013 00:00:00 +0200 A strangely warm Sunday evening, and the Nottingham venue had a very laid back feel about it.

Metal Sun, 21 Apr 2013 00:00:00 +0200 This week we dissect the brand new metal feud between The Atlas Moth and Emmure, metal merchandise, what is the best thing your band can make to reach your audience. Also, Godless hates Volbeat, and will tell you why their new album sucks.

Especially if you take into account how Steven Wilson is faring as a solo artist. He&#039;s just released his third album that has sold really well. He&#039;s got a stable live band going for a while now. More impressive, though, is the fact that 2/3 of his recent European tour has simply been sold out. That is impressive. And doesn&#039;t it make you think that instead of dying for another Porcupine Tree concert, his solo gig might actually be worth checking out? <a href="/pub/article.php?article_id=1320>Read more...</a> http://www.metalstorm.net/pub/article.php?article_id=1320 http://www.metalstorm.net/pub/article.php?article_id=1320 Ivor Wed, 10 Apr 2013 00:00:00 +0200 Godless and Chuck breakdown the new Manchester law protecting metalheads, punks, and goths from violence, the reunited Infectious Grooves, and the latest Clutch release, plus headlines and the average stupidity you have come to know and love every week. <a href="/pub/article.php?article_id=1319>Read more...</a> http://www.metalstorm.net/pub/article.php?article_id=1319 http://www.metalstorm.net/pub/article.php?article_id=1319 Susan Mon, 08 Apr 2013 00:00:00 +0200 The Gothenburg death metal scene was started by the band Grotesque. Grotesque was formed in 1988 and only came to release one EP, Incantation, in 1990, and some demos earlier. These early recordings were re-released on the compilation In The Embrace Of Evil in 1996, which also contains two new songs. Grotesque&#039;s music is often labeled as a mix of death and black metal. After they split up in 1990, the vocalist Tomas &quot;Tompa&quot; Lindberg and guitarist Alf Svensson would come to form the band At The Gates, and the other guitarist Kristian W&aring;hlin would form Liers In Wait. <a href="/pub/article.php?article_id=1258>Read more...</a> http://www.metalstorm.net/pub/article.php?article_id=1258 http://www.metalstorm.net/pub/article.php?article_id=1258 Aristarchos Mon, 08 Apr 2013 00:00:00 +0200 Having seen Threshold and company just two days earlier at the same venue, I was rather curious to find out how this would turn out and compare to the previous show. Would the venue sound as great as before? Would Riverside draw in more people than Threshold? Would it be at least as awesome? To be honest, what I was becoming more interested in was to know whether Biebob is indeed an excellent place for great gigs. Any guesses? <a href="/pub/article.php?article_id=1316>Read more...</a> http://www.metalstorm.net/pub/article.php?article_id=1316 http://www.metalstorm.net/pub/article.php?article_id=1316 Ivor Fri, 05 Apr 2013 00:00:00 +0200 Since I saw there was an article about the history of death metal that totally excluded the Scandinavian scene and only focused on the North-American scene, I decided to write one myself about the Scandinavian scene. Of course there are also other important European death metal scenes that deserve to be covered, especially the English, but I leave that to someone else to write an article about. <a href="/pub/article.php?article_id=1257>Read more...</a> http://www.metalstorm.net/pub/article.php?article_id=1257 http://www.metalstorm.net/pub/article.php?article_id=1257 Aristarchos Fri, 05 Apr 2013 00:00:00 +0200 I&#039;m no photographer. Cameras bother me from both sides of their aim and, I know for sure now, they should be bothered when I&#039;m around too. I had to lone wolf it to this show (with someone else&#039;s camera). You&#039;re going to see some blurry shit, see-through people, red eye and the like. <a href="/pub/article.php?article_id=1313>Read more...</a> http://www.metalstorm.net/pub/article.php?article_id=1313 http://www.metalstorm.net/pub/article.php?article_id=1313 wormdrink414 Thu, 04 Apr 2013 00:00:00 +0200
