Standards/FES – Manchester, Satan’s Hollow – 10 May 2022

A bit of a last-minute arrangement as Jase W legitimately nearly missed this show, which would have sucked because he’s a HUGE fan of Standards and have also heard many good things about FES, and has since spent a bit of time listening to their latest album. This show promised to be a meaty affair of sparkly, twinkly math rock which only makes him more excited to be going to ArcTanGent this year, so this will go a long way to whet his appetite!

Giant Walker – ‘All In Good Time’ (Self-Released)

For Jase W, one of the main benefits about writing for someone about your main passion is that you often find all sorts of bizarre and wonderful stuff landing in your lap and Giant Walker is no exception to this. Stating that they’ve got a shared love for bands such as Karnivool, Soundgarden, Radiohead and Deftones who are all bands he holds in pretty high regard, the chance to listen to something heavily influenced by these sorts of acts is something he absolutely had to get his teeth into.

Badflower/’68/Brkn Love – Charlotte NC, The Underground – 14 April 2022

It was another night of glorious rock and roll as hard rockers Badflower played a sold-out show at The Underground Charlotte on the ‘This Is How The World Ends’ tour. Led by singer and guitarist Josh Katz, Badflower has become a force to be reckoned with in the rock world as their 2019 debut album ‘OK, I’m Sick’ solidly put them on the map. The band has played everything from intimate clubs to the biggest festivals in the world and to see them perform is something truly special. This was definitely a show that everyone was looking forward to and we would not be disappointed.

Horn – ‘Verzet’ (Self-Released)

Horn was formed as a solo project in 2003 by Niklas and is a solitary musical undertaking up to the present day. The initial drive behind the project was to create nature-themed black metal, focusing on the relation of man and nature in a regional context. The old material, being mainly concerned with detailed descriptions of nature and incorporating rather upbeat, folk-influenced riffing, has made way for more sinister themes and soundscapes over the years. What has remained throughout the course of nine studio albums is the distinct “Horn” sound, featuring siren-like lead guitars, classical black metal-styled vocals as well as clean chorals and a serious folkloristic approach far from the jolly drunken Viking tunes celebrated these days.

Fit For An Autopsy/Great American Ghost/Ingested/Enterprise Earth/Sentinels – Manchester, Rebellion – 8 May 2022

His third gig this past weekend after returning from an escapade in London saw Jase W returning to Manchester and making a mad dash across town for the doors at Rebellion for tech death stalwarts Fit For An Autopsy. The doors were at 6pm to allow for changeovers with this absolutely STACKED line-up featuring Great American Ghost, Ingested, Enterprise Earth and Sentinels. Good thing he’d not forgotten his earplugs today and booked the next day off work because this was going to ruin him…
