Live Shows Reviewer

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 g...

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.

Playing songs from their EP "The Grind" as well as a new single coming from thei...

On the second sunday of January Shattered Horizons, Bearers of the Divide, Islasorna, Artificial Pathogen and Grievance played a show at Opium in Edinburgh. Although not a nice day outside which did effect the size of the crowd the bands all gave it their all and this is what we thought of all of the bands who played the show thanks to Empathy Promotions. The first band on the stage was Grievance a metalcore/ deathcore band hailing from Dundee, Scotland. This was the first time the band had played a show in Edinburgh and a band in which the audience didn't know. However, the band did not let this stop them and brought a lot of energy to their set with heavy songs as well as breakdowns which fitted the vocalist as well as the band themselves which showed a lot of potential for the band to grow into a band that could have a lot of success. I look forward to seeing what is next for them and are a band I will now be looking forward to hearing more about. Next on the stage was A...
