One of the first live concerts I ever saw was the Ian Gillan Band, featuring the original voice of rock wailing away at the Odeon i n Birmingham. With only a scratched vinyl copy of 24 Carat Purple to go by I wasn’t disappointed by the unexpected funky progressive sounds I heard on stage and Ray Fenwick ’s soloing during ‘Child In Time’ remain a powerful memory all these years later.SMASH INTO PIECES
Scandinavian rockers Smash Into Pieces have released their brand new single ‘Broken Parts’. The song is taken from their upcoming sixth studio album, exploring and expanding the world they created on last year’s album ARCADIA both aurally and visually. BEHEMOTH UNVEIL VIDEO FOR ‘SHADOWS OV EA CAST UPON Polish heretics BEHEMOTH have today unveiled a sumptuous and visceral new video for ‘Shadows Ov Ea Cast Upon Golgotha’, a track taken from last summer’s 4-track A Forest EP. The video, produced by longtime Behemoth collaborators Grupa 13, brings to life some of the spectacular artwork by renowned Polish artist and photographer Sylwia Makris, featured on the band’s much lauded 2018BURNING WITCHES
Heavy metal coven Burning Witches have just released their fourth full-length record The Witch Of The North, which the band celebrated with a streamed release show for fans around the world.Today, they’re following up with the release of yet another music video for their newest single and one of the album’s strongest anthems ‘WeStand As One’!
