After a weekend full of sun, sea, sand and rain that is the summer time here in the United Kingdom that accompanied our Queen’s 70th Jubilee, it’s time to get back to normality. Strong coffee for Monday morning cobwebs and a classic tune. So cutting to the chase, here’s “Ready For Blood” from My Ruin
You’d have to go a few thousand miles to find someone who didn’t know who AC/DC were or at least be able to recognise one of their cuts but when it came to their seventh seminal album there must have been some nerves with Brian Johnson replacing the larger than life Bon Scott after his
Produced by Andrew Mudrock (Godsmack, Avenged Sevenfold, Eighteen Visions) and self released in 2011, the debut EP from Los Angeles California quintet Butcher Babies was followed by a music video for “Mr. Slowdeath” almost a year later. That has reached 5.7 million views on YouTube to date and combined with their high octane live show

The Los Angeles based band who released a pair of records in 1996’s “All Is Not Well” and 1997’s “Relief Through Release” are ironically just as well known posthumously as they were when they were active due to vocalist Tairrie B
Rewinding the tape to 1992 and American Alternative Metallers Helmet, who incidentally we got into off of the back of their appearance on the soundtrack to Brandon Lee’s The Crow, it’s time to pay tribute to “Meantime“. Not just a hugely commercially successful album but also one that influenced a whole myriad of bands in
Rewinding the tape back to 2003 and the project from husband and wife duo Mick Murphy and Tarrie B otherwise known as My Ruin for today’s throwback offering is an absolute pleasure. Label issues dogged the bands career and so they spent the majority of it DIY in order to control all aspects of the
Tearing up New England over the past four years have been Exclave, a band labeled a Thrash/Doom crossover act, hailing from Portland Maine who feature in their ranks members of numerous other projects including Quiet Warning, Cryptic and Apollyon.
