The Über Rock Singles Club Daily Pick – Those Damn Crows
Our latest choice is something somewhat different from a band from our spiritual homeland, as it is a deeply personal and stripped back from both a frontman and a band known for their ebullience and effervescence…
Read MoreWithin Temptation/ANNISOKAY/BLIND8 – Amsterdam, Ziggo Dome – 6 December 2024
Heading towards the end of the year Jase W got to play out the last month with one of the biggest shows this year with one of the biggest metal bands to come out of the Netherlands, Within Temptation. There was some difficulty to start with getting things arranged but it came through in the end and our man on the ground was now ready to get stuck into a huge show at Amsterdam’s Ziggo Dome. Along for the ride are Ukrainians BLIND8 and German synthy metalcore outfit annisokay.

Read MoreDayseeker/Rain City Drive/Heart Of Gold – Amsterdam, Melkweg – 4 December 2024
December is here and it’s the home stretch to the end of the year and Jase W kicked off this month’s romp of shows with the best of sadboi metalcore acts, Dayseeker. It’s been a solid while since he saw these dance across New Century Hall in Manchester (admittedly with some crying) and this show on Melkweg’s OZ stage was a much more intimate affair.
Read MoreVIDEO OF THE WEEK: AVANTASIA
Our latest audio-visual treat well and truly lives up to that description, as it is real treat, especially for the eyes, and comes courtesy of one of the true standard bearers of the Teutonic power metal genre, the maestro known as Tobias Sammet, who is summoning and welcoming us into his very own #Creepshow:

Neither rain nor wind was going to keep DJ Astrocreep away from finally getting to catch IDLES live. Despite the onset of Storm Darragh, the splendour and sound of Manchester’s Apollo awaited the big lad for the first time in a while for some music to fit the wild weather.

Iron Maiden drummer Nicko McBrain has announced that he is to hang up his drumsticks, at least in terms of touring, after 42 years with the band.
Read MoreThe Über Rock Singles Club Daily Pick – The Greeting
For the second successive day my latest hot pick finds its roots in the febrile, fervent and ever fertile soil of Ireland, and sees us traverse the island to its rugged west coast, Galway in fact, to team up once again with this collaborative project between indie veterans Big Generator and post-punk gothic artist pMad, who are helping get #Over the seventh month wait for their second single…
Read MoreThe Über Rock Singles Club Daily Pick – Dexterity
This Dublin alt-prog project addresses the challenge of not feeling right in your skin and wishing you had another #Vessel as it reflects the deeply emotive, personal and reflective trans experience of frontwoman Sarah Dexter as she embarked on that very journey.
Read MoreFit For An Autopsy/Sylosis/Darkest Hour/Heriot – Nijmegen, Doornroosje – 30 November 2024
Finally for another hectic month of gigs, a new venue and city for our man in Europe with Nijmegen’s Doornroosje, an infamous venue for its metal shows and Soulcrusher festival and he’s there for a night of blistering metal! Another stacked tour package with Sylosis as main guests along with Darkest Hour and Heriot as openers. This is going to be a heavy one for the annals of big metal shows and Jase W was there to get his ears around some fat riffs! Another lengthy journey across the Netherlands but a worthwhile one to get here to witness the sheer insanity that’s about to hit Doornroosje tonight.
Read MoreWhile She Sleeps/Malevolence/thrown/Resolve – Utrecht, Tivoli Vredenburg – 29 November 2024
November has been stacked for shows, like truly stacked and tonight’s show in Utrecht, the second night in this venue, While She Sleeps are smashing their way through Europe. To add incredible weight to this tour is fellow Sheffield natives, Malevolence, Swedish hardcore adjacent heavyweights, thrown, and finally French synthy metalcore outfit, Resolve. Who the fuck says Netherlands doesn’t get good metal tours? Jase W has got a year of staggering shows under his belt so far in 2024 that begs to differ…
