Tonight the “We Are Stronger Than Before” tour rolls up to London’s Camden Underworld with a lot of promise. Openers Currents [6/10] only play material from their impressive second album “The Place I Feel Safest” tonight and are hampered by sound issues throughout. It’s Currents first international tour and with an album that Oozes quality
Opening night of the European leg of The Graveyard Shift Tour and due to “about 14 unforseen circumstances” Cane Hill are unable to play the show at Southampton Engine Rooms tonight. The bands Twitter feed suggests that they had to head into London to get some gear to ensure they are able to complete the
Opening up tonight are London’s Karybdis [4] who debut two new songs mid-set tonight, the second of which goes by the temporary title of “Cracking Open A Cold One with Your Friends” though may well end up being called “Dead To Me” judging by the chorus. They’re currently working on the follow up to 2016’s
Opening up tonight are Exeter’s progressive melodic hardcore band Napoleon [4].

It’s a Saturday night at the O2 Academy Islington and there is a 22:00 curfew, which means one support band and then the headliner playing for 90 minutes. The venue isn’t quite full when Courtesans [1] take the stage. The all female quartet are so out of place it’s unreal. It’s almost Halloween, it’s a
As there is no support band tonight, it’s a long wait for the LA All Female Iron Maiden tribute band The Iron Maidens [5] to appear on the stage to a packed house at Reading’s Sub89. But when they finally do, it’s to rapturous applause. “Two Minutes To Midnight” and “”Flash Of The Blade” get the
It’s the final night of the 9 date UK headlining run for returned US Metalcore masters Still Remains, dragging Liverpool’s underground tech-metal kings Carcer City and Wars across our green and pleasant land to a newly refurbished Borderline. Wars [2] Open the show but for all their effort and endeavour, they’re hampered by technical issues
Opening the night to a sparse crowd, Stoke-on-Trent five piece Black Coast [4] play a flawlessly tight blend of Melodic-Hardcore-Metal that keeps everyone entertained while The Underworld gradually fills. “Crows Of The North” and “Lawless” stand out from the bands short but sweet set tonight and if they keep up their current vein of form, it
