Working closely with Exile Promotions in Edinburgh lately we got asked to come along to help out and review their charity show with Hybrid Theory  a Linkin Park tribute band and Freak Show  from Edinburgh to raise some money for the charity Sane a mental health charity within the United Kingdom.  First to come to the stage was Freak Show , a five piece hard rock band from Edinburgh, Scotland. With a large crowd having came down to the show to show their support they thanked the crowd for coming down and making it their biggest show to date! As well as this they mentioned how their vocalist really wasn't well. However, this did not stop them from putting on a good show, however I do feel impacted the show as it seemed that the vocalist didn't have loads of energy on the stage however vocally sounded really good and showed that she was a powerful vocalist. As a new band however this came over very professionally and are a band that does have a lot of potential to grow wi

While She Sleeps returned to Glasgow since their album release of "You Are We" to play the 02 ABC alongside Counterfeit. and Blood Youth on the 8th of February 2018.

This is definitely a band to keep your eyes on in 2018 especially within the United Kingdom. Counterfeit. was next to embrace the stage; a  five

As well as doing larger shows, we are happy to get the chance to get to review smaller and more local shows. As a result of this we teamed up with Exile Promotions  from Edinburgh to review a local metal show at Opium in Edinburgh. The line-up consisted of Carcer City , Sworn Amongst , The Weight Of Atlas and House of Hatchets . This is what we thought of all of the artists who performed and the night overall. The first band to the stage was House Of Hatchets  a four piece alt metal band from Edinburgh, Scotland. This was a band who had a lot of energy on stage and although people didn't know their songs did not let this stop them from having a really fun time on stage. This was made better by very clear vocals throughout their set making the audience able to hear everything that they were saying very clearly as well as smooth transitions from the beginning of their set till the very end. Playing songs from their EP "The Grind" as well as a new single coming from thei
