Eteenpäin Suomeen!
Veteran Finnish concert bookers Metal Warning will bring SOLSTICE to Suomi this September. Taking in Tampere, Turku, and Jyväskylä for an unforgettable weekend of Epic Heavy Metal and rampant ribaldry. Riding out for all three dates are deranged pagan sons Cardinals Folly, with local supports locking down in the months to come. We’re working on

Bangkok Beheading
Last weekend saw DIOCLETIAN start their international tour with a bang. Joining Ross Bay Cult stalwarts Death Worship and Bloody Vengeance at God Beheading Live Ritual 2024 in Bangkok. With local bands on the bill, the gathering also brought in much anticipated artists from Singapore and Sri Lanka. Showcasing the very best of a region

One Month to Annhiliation
With four weeks remaining until DIOCLETIAN breach British shores, there have been a few revisions to the original sortie. The Bristol date has now SOLD OUT, assuredly offering a rammed night upstairs at The Gryphon. With other dates creeping close to capacity, the time to grab a ticket is now – before it’s too late.

A Weekend’s Grift with Darkher
Although I’m often to be found helping out local siren DARKHER in all my usual capacities, last weekend reminded me just why the music draws me in. The final dates of an intimate candlelit tour alongside GRIFT and CARCASS OF SIGHS, it fell to Stephen and Karen of The Velvet Sheep to handle merchandise and

Impromptu Projections
While most folk were down in London for the big Black Metal shindig last weekend, I was back home in slightly cosier surrounds. Supporting local prog-goth rockers, (and old friends), Dawn of Elysium at the Lending Room in Leeds. As we’ve been working together on a sci-fi short film in recent months, I prepared some

Compulsive Necrophilia in the UK
The Grim Bell tolls thrice in July, as the coldest of funeral ceremonies offer contrast to Summer’s grace. Conspiring with Killtown Bookings, alongside Subterranean Promotions and Paralytic Promotions, HeathenStorm Productions do their part to bring forth cult Italian Doom Metal veterans ABYSMAL GRIEF to the UK. Tour support is provided by PANTHEÏST, with local doom

After the Manifestation
A worthy weekend was spent in the service of Subterranean Manifestation III; an uncompromising all-day assault of Death, Black and especially War Metal in the capital. With the show itself magnificently arranged by Subterranean Promotions, I was drafted in for the essential duty of delivering the artists to and from the airport and venue. Driving

My Week with the Mentors
This was never going to be an easy tour. Trouble started once the announcement was made, with a clandestine call to cancel one of the shows leaving me on the backfoot towards finding a replacement. Having support bands become less available than hoped also threw some surprises my way. With energies devoted to resolving the

Free Fix – Live!
Filmed on the last night of the Mentors tour at Ye Olde Salutation Inn, Nottingham. If anyone has footage from any of the shows, get in touch and send it in!

Under the Hood
It’s been a frantic few weeks pulling everything together for the MENTORS tour, with complete line-ups only secured as the New Year ticked into being. An exhausting endeavour, although I’m never one to back away from such challenge. Given timing and circumstance, I knew this wouldn’t be an easy ride. Cancellations and complaints forced swift

Into the Vortex
We’re all very pleased to announce the Mentors UK Tour is finally back up to full strength! Replacing the cancelled Newcastle date with a welcome Yorkshire exclusive on Monday 8th January. A very special gig this one, as it will be the first of hopefully not-too-many fundraiser shows for Wakefield’s Vortex Bar and Nightclub. Helping

Effin’ up the Effenaar
MENTORS closed off the Friday at Eindhoven Metal Meeting in chaotic form. Many thanks to Adam Richardson for capturing the moment on grubby video.
