On Monday 17th September there is a Metal fundraiser for the Samaritans taking place at the White Rabbit in Plymouth. Myspace users can get their Add Friend fingers ready as they check out the lineup:

Anyone catching this on the news? I've got my music going but I've got my tv on ready for statements and developments. Seven explosions on the underground, including one on a bus. Two people dead and about 90 injured at one location is all that's been confirmed so far. Fucking insane. And we got...
Been back for about two hours...fuck me, what a weekend. For me it basically started at 8pm Wednesday night and finished bout the same time tonight (Monday). Fucking class. My first full festival and it went very well! Saw some class bands - Megadeth, Napalm Death, Anthrax, Black Sabbath, 3...

Sure, it may be about a year since the album came out :p but we ain't been around that long! I think I did the album fair justice and I hope y'all agree with me. If not, tuff :loco:
(let us know when the promos for the new one start floating...
I joked to him that I wanted to check out 1000 new bands, and he thought it was a pretty cool idea. So we threw down the glove - we gotta find 500 bands each that we haven't heard before.
He's starting me off with Heavenblast, Halgadom and Jag Panzer, and I'll be burning him a copy of De...
So I'm halfway through my second twirl of the Noltem demo, and I must admit it's thrown me somewhat. I'm not sure if I've got anything else that sounds like this in my collection. I'm not exactly thinking I need to run out and horde more crazy-whatever-you-call-this, but I am very curious...
Here's a new webzine that might be of interest to y'all - www.metalmonk.co.uk
Obviously I'm plugging it cos I'm one of the reviewers :loco: we're doing a nice range of Metal, obviously it's early days for the zine so a lot of features aren't up yet. But do check back and have a read, and join...
With the Scorpions as support, oh yeah! :grin:
In all honesty, they were a bit restrained - didn't look quite as magical as they do in the videos. The set was kind of identical to all the live stuff I own, with three new songs (Judas Rising, Revolution and Hellrider) and Hot Rockin' and I'm A...
Just caught this, surprised I only did this late...
From the official Saxon site:
23rd March 2005
Unfortunately we have to notify you, that Biff Byford the leadsinger and founder of the band SAXON has undergone a serious tragedy at his home. Due a fire at his home in france, his house is...
Anyone catch the start of the new series last night? I thought it was pretty damn good actually :D the Autons weren't very scary at all (I hate clips of them from the old series' :ill: ) and keeping everything condensed into a 45 minute episode made everything feel very safe. But I thought...
David Coverdale fronting Black Sabbath
I mean, if godz Ronnie James Dio, Ian Gillan and Glenn Hughes could do it, and do it good, then why not David? He's got a marvellous set of pipes, and it's not as if lyrical themes would really that much in this fantasy situation (Ian Gillan never exactly...
I'm wondering, how do Symphorce stand in the UK? Have they toured here before? Any plans to? Have our press recognised them in any way? Would you consider them to be known over here or are they our SECRET? :heh:
Just got this off Final Fantasy Online, bwehehehe. Peeps may have seen it before.

Inhale.
Take in as much air as you can. This story should last about as long as you can hold your breath, and then just a little bit longer. So listen as fast as you can.
A friend...
As more and more time passes I'm finding I can phase out of hunting for bands that existed before I was born and look to the present day to find Metal bands that cater for my taste. Trouble is I have a crooked memory and some stick bette than others :loco: never mind. Here we celebrate the best...
Anyone here clued up about their jazz? I've liked most of what I've heard but it's mostly been snippets, odds & sods and I've got no idea where to start proper :erk: essential artist/albums/songs? (esp. songs so I can download :Saint: )
Anyone know anything about this label? I can't seem to find anything on the internet about them. Apparently Saltus have a new album out this year on their label (which I am likely to get cos I dug Slavonic Pride) but it don't help much if I can't order the bloody thing! :blush:
Any fans here? Kickass new band! Heavy Metal but signed to Roadrunner! :eek: who'd've thought it? A sign of the times for sure! Anyway I hear Accept, Judas Priest, and the squealy bits from Stand Up And Shout by Dio in them :rock: and Running Wild references are inevitable cos they have songs...
Anyone heard of these guys? I think I just discovered my new favourite band of 2005! To my ears they sound like Judas Priest/Accept, and they're kicking up quite a storm. Signed to Roadrunner, would you believe it?!
