Final Hordes X 2021 lineup Time waits for no fest! Yes, we always call Hordes X a “showcase”, but that was catchy, right? There is a story behind it, too. Normally, we’d be well on our way by this stage. It’s been a difficult year, though. We felt we had…
Nytt Land – Ritual (album) Release date: 06th August 2021||Genre: Dark folk||Label: Napalm Records From the first listen, I loved this. Following in the historical escapism of Wardruna, Heilung, Danheim, and the like, there is a certain mood to which it fits perfectly. On the second spin, something else was…
Dog Tired release Feast video Originally coming out of the Pennycuick scene over a decade ago, Dog Tired may be more associated with Edinburgh to some. Mind you, they all but relocated said community, when Bobfest – their own mini-fest – moved to Scotland’s capital city. Yet, demi-bumpkins they remain….

M2TM Scottish Final 2021 With updates to restrictions, and Scotland’s first metal gig since lockdown having taken place, it’s time for a hefty Metal 2 The Masses refresher! As we mentioned previously, we have kept all of the participating bands from the 2020 M2TM in the running. As the pandemic…
Sectlinefor – Kissing Strangers During An Outbreak (album) Release date: 28th May 2021||Genre: Industrial||Label: Self released I… Um… Huh..? I think, unless they’re familiar with Sectlinefor‘s previous efforts, a lot of people are going to be lost here. Ok, a couple of parts are a bit more straightforward. However, the…
Flotsam & Jetsam – Blood In The Water (album) Release date: 04th June 2021||Genre: Thrash metal||Label: AFM Ok, hands up. I am a massive Flotsam & Jetsam fan, so there was almost no chance I wasn’t going to love this. They are one of my all time top bands. I…
