Posted by | Nov 7, 2021 | , , ,

So Long Long Until The Séance/Art Rats/Delusional Silence/EB And The Deadlights – Belfast, Voodoo – 31 October 2021

It’s Halloween. The night when the ghouls come out to play. And the blood-soaked schoolgirls. And the bananas (although, to be fair, that’s most nights in Belfast city centre!). But, what better night for Belfast resident horror punks to launch their brand new, ÜR-approved, second album, released on this very same day? It’s also “Freedom Night”, the first on which the remaining restrictions on Northern Ireland’s pubs and clubs have been lifted – just a full four months after the rest of the Über Kingdom – and so the whole place is going buck daft with excitement and for the first time in seemingly forever we are greeted with the sight of a queue stretching halfway down the street for this, the first full-capacity, fully-standing gig to be held in Belfast since March 2020.

Canada certainly produced its fair share of great metal bands in the 80s. Perhaps one that fell under the radar a little more was Aggression, right there in the thick of the speed/thrash metal golden era of the mid to late 80s. They could have been up there with the more established names but, by the band’s own admission ‘destructive substance abuse problems, legal and criminal matters combined with reckless abandon’ led to their downfall by 1989. They’ve been together again since 2014 with original frontman Denis ‘Sasquatch’ Barthe at the helm of a new line up, and now they unleash a brand new six-track EP ‘Field Of Nightmares’, following up on 2018’s brilliantly titled album ‘Feels Like Punk, Sounds Like Thrash’.

Archives – ‘Decay’ (Self-Released)

There’s a saying in Belfast about “going around the world for a shortcut”. Norn Irish newcomers Archives could have probably saved themselves such a journey by walking 100 or so yards out of Belfast city centre and sticking this, their debut CD, through the ÜRHQ letterbox (or leaving it behind the bar at our local, possibly attached to a bottle of nice bourbon) rather than having to send it all the way to London only to have it posted back here… but, that’s the way the business works, and it got here in the end, didn’t it?
