This was a big gig, a huge package (fnaar), and as such worthy of two reviewers. WeeG takes on opening band Nails and headliner Kreator, and Mosh fills in the sandwich with Exodus and Carcass... Mosh: We got there around 6pm expecting the queue to have largely disappeared but due to an extended soundcheck found … Continue reading Gig Review: Kreator / Carcass / Exodus / Nails – O2 Academy, Glasgow (29th March 2026)

Gig Review: Heaven Shall Burn / The Black Dahlia Murder / Frozen Soul – The Garage, Glasgow (22nd February 2026)
Having caught Frozen Soul before, I was looking forward to seeing them live again. First impression was that they had a slightly muddy sound, but that didn’t stop vocalist Chad Green from demanding crowd participation right from the start. They didn’t get a frosty reception, even when the opening track was "Encased In Ice"! By … Continue reading Gig Review: Heaven Shall Burn / The Black Dahlia Murder / Frozen Soul – The Garage, Glasgow (22nd February 2026)
Gig Review: Kataklysm / Vader / Blood Red Throne – Slay, Glasgow (21st February 2026)
Sometimes it’s worth taking a step back and getting a broad perspective on what you are actually getting from a show. Tonight we have three bands, all of substantial pedigree and all with extensive back catalogues. Doing some research, I make it that across all three of these acts we’re looking at a cumulative total … Continue reading Gig Review: Kataklysm / Vader / Blood Red Throne – Slay, Glasgow (21st February 2026)
Gig Review: Sanguisugabogg / Fulci / Gates To Hell / Celestial Sanctuary – Classic Grand, Glasgow (17th February 2026)
It’s the second time in a couple of weeks that this has happened. About 4 o’clock in the afternoon, I get an email saying that doors for this show have been moved forward an hour, from 7pm to 6pm! Like, jeezo, some of us travel from outside the city to get to shows! We’ve got … Continue reading Gig Review: Sanguisugabogg / Fulci / Gates To Hell / Celestial Sanctuary – Classic Grand, Glasgow (17th February 2026)
Gig Review: Jinjer – SWG3, Glasgow (27th January 2026)
Editor intro: I was meant to do this review, but WeeG waved his fanboy arms in the air and pretty much demanded to write it. Given he knows the band far better than I do, it made sense. Plus it's one less job for me to do! Due to the earlier than expected doors time, … Continue reading Gig Review: Jinjer – SWG3, Glasgow (27th January 2026)
Gig Review: Cryptopsy / 200 Stab Wounds / Inferi / Corpse Pile – Slay, Glasgow (20th January 2026)
With January doing its usual thing of interminable drag, it’s re-invigorating that gigs are now starting to come with a blessed regularity. Glasgow isn’t as cold as it might be in January, and at least it’s dry, but it’s still suitably dark and gloomy for such a daunting four-band bill. With Slay having announced earlier … Continue reading Gig Review: Cryptopsy / 200 Stab Wounds / Inferi / Corpse Pile – Slay, Glasgow (20th January 2026)
