Live Shows Reviewer

On the 2nd of March Holding Absence and Loathe were meant to be playing Audio in Glasgow. However due to the bad weather that had been going about the United Kingdom at the time the show had to get postponed to the 5th of March. However, this did not stop both bands from coming to Glasgow, Scotland and giving the audience an amazing show as well as the local support from Divide  and Rainfalls.  Rainfalls a four piece melodic-hardcore band hailing from Glasgow, Scotland was first to set foot on the stage. This band had a great sound to them which managed to get the crowd nicely ready for the artists who were ahead of them, as well as putting on a good show themselves. However, with the vocalist's back to the crowd throughout most of the set and with the stage rather dark throughout with only flashing lights it did make the stage hard to look at, at times. This is a band which does have a lot of talent however and would fit perfectly on a hardcore show. The other local ban...

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...

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...
