The Black Map #205: Burning The Dream from Glasgow!

Once again travelling the length and breadth of the United Kingdom in search of bands to spread the word about on a Sunday morning for one of our longest running features known as The Black Map, we find ourselves North of the border asking that most important of all questions… What do you call a

The Black Map #204: Devastator from Derby!

Our endless journey in concentric circles around the United Kingdom Underground Metal scene continues to week #204 as Metal Noise approaches its 5th Anniversary, celebrating the lesser lights of heaven and talking about bands who have all the talent in the World but need some attention. So for this week’s entry on our Black Map

The Black Map #203: Avarice from Newcastle!

We travel from Hessle (near Hull) and the Technical Deathcore and shock humour of Infant Annihilator to Newcastle and the Industrial tinged Metal of Avarice for this week’s entry upon our Black Map of the UK Underground Metal scene which serves as a weekly introduction to a band that you might not know now but

The Black Map #202: Infant Annihilator from Hessle!

The air of controversy hangs thick like a shroud of darkness around Infant Annihilator, the  parodies, metaphors and satires they create in their shock humour laced graphically disturbing lyrics the kind of thing that attracts and repulses at the same time, leaving some laughing out loud at the depravity of it with the words “oh

The Black Map #201: King Abyss from Uttoxeter!

After our trip from Manchester and Footprints In The Custard to Devon and Kill All The Gentlemen, this week’s entry in The Black Map, our weekly look at one of the lessee lights of heaven from the United Kingdom Underground Metal scene finds us in Uttoxeter. For those not great at Geography [and as we

The Black Map #200: Kill All The Gentlemen from Devon!

A band we described as the Kings of United Kingdom Blackened Death Metal when we reviewed their new album “Black Canvas“, Kill All The Gentlemen are a band worthy of note, their blend of extreme and melodic heavy metal gritty and intense while also being rich and harmonic and there aren’t many who can make

The Black Map #199: Footprints In The Custard from Manchester!

After a scalding hot pint of Grumpy Mule Coffee for the first time in a long time the roaming and foraging that is this very Black Map of the UK Underground Metal scene feature is staying firmly put in Manchester for the second week running – and not without good reason. Much like training with

The Black Map #198: Wolfbastard from Manchester!

As our regular Sunday feature drags itself  towards the #200th edition like a zombie towards its prey, missing both legs and one arm but still hungry and with vicious intent in its eyes, we return to Manchester and a band that crosses Black Metal, D-Beat, Crust Punk and Blackened Hardcore with such violence that they’re

The Black Map #197: Erebor from Durham!

When being in a band isn’t your full time career, life has a tendency to slow down your output as you get older with commitments to work and family taking priority and rightly so if your bands income isn’t going to keep a roof over your head and food on the table. For Durham Progressive

The Black Map #196: Bangover from London!

If you’re Saturday night was a classic, then Sunday morning can only mean one thing. A hangover combined with the whiplash affect from over exuberant headbanging which Municipal Waste branded the “Bangover” on 2005’s “Hazardous Mutation”. Two paracetamol, two ibuprofen and a roasting hot coffees or a can of your energy drink of choice and
