Live Shows Reviewer

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...

As Black Veil Brides and Asking Alexandria do an American and European co-headline tour, I managed to catch them in Glasgow, Scotland with support from To The Rats and Wolves on the 25th of January 2018. As a result of this I decided to review the show and say my thoughts on all three bands and the set that they produced. The first band on the bill was To The Rats and Wolves  which the audience did not know of. This made for an amazing opening act who managed to get the crowd jumping around and having an amazing time and joining in with the band singing along, clapping and dancing by having a very party atmosphere about them. With great clean and unclean vocals it was easy to make out what the band was singing about and made the audience know more about the band as a whole. As the first time they have ever been in the United Kingdom, I feel this band is one that will have a large following when they come back and are a band you do not want to miss live!! Asking Alexandria was...

On the 20th of January Escape The Fate came back to Glasgow, Scotland on their headline tour with support from Set To Stun and Shields to play at the Garage thanks to Triple G Music. Here is what we thought of all of the bands who performed. First to grace the stage was Shields , a metal band from London, England. With being the first band on and not many people in the room at the moment they did not let this effect their live performance at all. Playing all originals that not many of the audience knew they had enough energy and a good flow between all of the songs that they were performing that people were still engaged with the performance. With also thanking everyone who came down early to catch their set and exciting the crowd about the other bands coming on after them they are a very humble band which is a very pleasing thing to see on the stage. As the end of their set came you could hear the people in the audience saying that they liked Shields and were a band they had to ...

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...
