This was the night every power metal fan in Scotland had been waiting for, a lineup of epic proportions that promised an unforgettable evening of soaring melodies, thunderous riffs, and larger than life performances. From the moment the first band hit the stage, the energy in the room was electric, and the atmosphere only grew … Continue reading Gig Review: Paganfest ft Ensiferum / Týr / Heidevolk / Elvenking – O2 Academy, Edinburgh (17th January 2025)

Gig Review: Metal To The Masses Oxford 2025 Heat 1 – Force Of Mortality / Liquid Dogs / Redeemon
For those who do not know me, I am Paul, a regular on Moshville Radio's "Manic Monday" show. I'm also a one-time contributor to The Moshville Times, having written a review of one of last year’s Metal 2 The Masses heats.

Gig Review: The Halo Effect / Pain / Bloodred Hourglass – Slay, Glasgow (22nd January 2025)
I can't believe it's over three weeks into 2025 before I caught my first live show. At least I made it a good one with a very strong lineup, and at a nice venue with good sound. It was icy cold outside in Glasgow, but once down the steps unto the underground bunker that is … Continue reading Gig Review: The Halo Effect / Pain / Bloodred Hourglass – Slay, Glasgow (22nd January 2025)

Gig Review: Slay Duggee & Lucha Britannia Christmas Slaycation – Indigo at the O2, London (28th December 2024)
Just a week ago I was at the larger O2 Arena photographing Slipknot, but this show at Indigo at the O2 was to be a very different experience indeed. Firstly, it was a matinée show (due to the target audience being young children and their parents), and secondly because it involved not only dogs and … Continue reading Gig Review: Slay Duggee & Lucha Britannia Christmas Slaycation – Indigo at the O2, London (28th December 2024)
Gig Review: Saor / Cân Bardd / Belore – CC John Lennon, Limoges (13th December 2024)
This year was the ten years anniversary of Saor's Aura and while I saw them tour all over Europe, a miracle happened: they annouced two last dates in France for this occasion. Limoges being only four hours and half driving from my place, I could simply not miss it. Especially as it was a dream … Continue reading Gig Review: Saor / Cân Bardd / Belore – CC John Lennon, Limoges (13th December 2024)
