Vasa – ‘Heroics’ (Dome A Records)

Vasa – ‘Heroics’ (Dome A Records)

Posted by | Feb 28, 2020 | ,

Vasa are still a somewhat new band to Jase W. He only became aware of them when they were announced for a chunk of Thank You Scientist’s most recent tour before popping up on ArcTanGent’s line-up  – a show he’s very, very keen on after checking this album out. Hailing from Glasgow, which currently seems to be a bit of a hotbed for Scottish rock and metal, the instrumental post-rock quartet dropped ‘Heroics’ this month, our man has been listening to fairly frequently since…

Rings Of Saturn/Enterprise Earth/Traitors/Brand Of Sacrifice – Manchester, Rebellion – 26 February 2020

Rings of Saturn are definitely a bit of an interesting, wacky and niche band within the deathcore scene. A band that focuses on extreme rhythm with hyper melodic sweep picking at super high-speed BPM, definitely a bit of an acquired taste but interesting nonetheless. Jase W was in no doubt he’d be leaving with a bit of a ringing in his ears after the Manchester show and trying to start a moshpit in his sleep…

FESTIVAL NEWS: Steelhouse finally starts to tickle our tastebuds

Born shortly after Über Rock first took to the darkest recesses of the internet, Steelhouse was for many years our hometown festival. With your favourite website now firmly entrenched in our second decade, the organizers had promised something a little bit special to mark their own tenth anniversary… but, to be honest, the initial announcements had failed to tickle our fancy – until today, when six more bands were announced that made us sit up and say to ourselves, “mmm, this is getting a little bit tasty…”

Last Saturday was a pretty exciting day for Jonny B as he made his way across to Manchester, as he was set to finally see Church of the Cosmic Skull. He’d been trying to get to see them for years now, but a series of unfortunate schedule conflicts have meant that he had missed out on what is rumoured to be quite the religious experience. Finally, it’s time to find out for himself!

Fool’s Ghost – ‘Dark Woven Light’ (Prosthetic)

This one is a real change of pace for John B. He has lived in Kentucky for quite a while and when he heard the next album he was going to be reviewing was from his neck of the woods and was not metal he had no idea what to expect. There are some very specific stereotypes about music in Kentucky. After saying a few prayers that the album would not be country he pressed play. There would have been no way to prepare him for what he heard. This is so far out of the realm he is usually in that he cannot tell you what genre this is. The genre is not what is important though what does matter is that this album is good. It is really good!
