ROCKSTARS ON MARS @ Rockbitch Boat, 2013/11/09

A glam band amidst all that metal was quite refreshing.   According to singer London LeGrand, ROCKSTARS ON MARS are “bringing the glam back”. Accurate choice of words as they’re not exactly reinventing the wheel. But the attitude? 100% sleazy!  http://www.facebook.com/RockstarsOnMars

SKITARG @ Rockbitch Boat, 2013/11/09

Clown metal – the things I learn in Sweden…  I didn’t stay long, although SKITARG were giving a hell of a lively show. But the crowd was waaaaaay too enthusiastic, and also the Baltic Sea was literally rocking the boat hard, … Continue reading

MONOSCREAM @ Rockbitch Boat, 2013/11/09

MONOSCREAM hitting the main stage at Rockbitch Boat.  First time I’ve heard about them was when I bought Sicksound‘s “A New Era” compilation (review here). Live it was even better – just as it should be. They’re going to hit the studio … Continue reading

SKID ROW @ Electric Ballroom, 2013/11/05

This gallery contains 45 photos.

Originally posted in Valkyrian Music. I had seen UGLY KID JOE in 1995, when they opened for VAN HALEN and BON JOVI, but SKID ROW was a first. And since they were one of the first bands to hit the favourite list when I was a kid, it … Continue reading

UGLY KID JOE @ Electric Ballroom, 2013/11/05

Originally posted in Valkyrian Music. The kings of “cheese metal” proved being much alive after all these years – especially singer Whit Crane, who seemed incapable of standing still, and (live session) guitarist Sonny Mayo, with his incredible high jumps. Split for 13 … Continue reading

DEAD CITY RUINS @ Electric Ballroom, 2013/11/05

Originally posted in Valkyrian Music. There was another reason to celebrate the November 5th in London besides being Guy Fawkes Night – the RoJo Rage Tour hit Camden Town. SKID ROW and UGLY KID JOE, the finest “youth gone wild” and “least wanted” of America, … Continue reading

CHILDREN OF BODOM @ Hard Club, 2013/11/01

I didn’t listen to “Halo Of Blood”. I could blame it on the roller coaster that my life has been lately, but let’s face it – if I really wanted to listen to CHILDREN OF BODOM‘s latest album, I would … Continue reading

DECAPITATED @ Hard Club, 2013/11/01

There were many people there more for DECAPITATED than CHILDREN OF BODOM. So when the former played less than 40 minutes, the disappointment was major. Even I, who aren’t the biggest DECAPITATED fan, thought that it was short. They were … Continue reading

MEDEIA @ Hard Club, 2013/11/01

I think this was the first time I’ve seen the term “alternative death metal”. But since almost every genre has now an “alternative” version, why not death metal as well? Personally, I would have gone with the more traditional “melodic … Continue reading

ORPHANED LAND @ Hard Club, 2013/10/31

When I reviewed “All Is One” for Sound(/)Zone, I wasn’t particularly impressed by the album. Sure I rated it 7 / 10, but there’s a difference between what I perceive as a good album and what I actually like to … Continue reading
