Forlorn Hope ‘Valour – Part 1’ (Self-Released)

Forlorn Hope ‘Valour – Part 1’ (Self-Released)

,

Forlorn Hope cropped up on Jonny B’s radar a good few years ago and he was fortunate to catch them at Power Metal Quest Fest back in 2019. Drawn in by their incredibly enthusiastic performance and a laser focus on the Napoleonic wars, resulting in them being dubbed as “Sharpe Metal” JB decided that this was a band to keep an eye on as their sound matured. Five years have passed since his first experience, and the release of the only full length album to date, ‘Over The Top’, so it’s certainly time to pull out another big release with the first part of their sophomore album ‘Valour’…

The Über Rock Singles Club – September’s Sonic Assault (Part One)

, ,

What it has to be admitted to have been a rather dreary summer may finally be drawing a curtain over itself, but the temperature is always hot here at your favourite club, and no more so than right here, right now, as we have the deathdecks fully warmed up and the speakers turned up so loud our latest selection of tunes can be heard as far away as… well, the end of the street (otherwise we’ll have the council around yet again threatening to close us down). So, let’s dive right in with our latest selection of tunes that have been earworming their way into our memory banks over the past two weeks…

VIDEO OF THE WEEK – LINKIN PARK

VIDEO OF THE WEEK – LINKIN PARK

, ,

This one was something of a no-brainer, as it is undoubtedly one of the most controversial, and divisive, releases in, well the seven years since we last heard any new music from the nu-metal pioneers, who have re-emerged from the darkness with a new single, a new line-up, an imminent new album and the announcement of a handful of tour dates later this month.

The Über Rock Singles Club Daily Pick – Socks And Ballerinas

,

The more astute of you will have noticed that the deathdecks at the Singles Club have been a bit silent for the past week or so. The reason for that is simple: we took a well deserved break away from the rambunctiousness and rowdiness of the rock ‘n’ roll Überverse to recharge our batteries. Now, back suitably refreshed and reinvigorated, we are BACK, the amps have been suitably warmed up, the volume once again turned up to neighbour-annoying volumes and the ‘PLAY’ button pressed as hard as we can hit it…

Tim Bowness ‘Powder Dry’ (Kscope)

,

While never being a stranger to experimenting with his musical horizons, Tim Bowness has taken a slightly different step with his solo work in his latest opus, ‘Powder Dry’. Whilst still following along a progressive route, he has gone more electronic, rather akin to side project No-Man that he features in alongside modern prog supremo Steven Wilson. DJ Astrocreep elaborates:

Infected Rain/Skarlett Riot – Utrecht, Tivoli Vredenburg – 28 August 2024

Infected Rain/Skarlett Riot – Utrecht, Tivoli Vredenburg – 28 August 2024

,

For once Jase W was quite glad that he’d opted to get out of the warm weather to sit in a darkened box of a room because at last it’s got bloody air-conditioning. He was absolutely melting. Running on probably less sleep than was necessary and keeping the engine running by energy drinks and pure spite, I’m back in Utrecht for Infected Rain. Unbeknownst to him until literally the day before, his buds in Skarlett Riot happened to be their support act; it’s been a hot minute since JW got to see them last and he was pretty damn excited about that…

Born Of Osiris/Distant/Gallamesh – Haarlem, Patronaat – 27 August 2024

,

August was threatening to be the end of Jase W with how busy he’d been, but as the month drew to a close, it was time for him to catch some delicious proggy technical metalcore from Born Of Osiris. We’re wondering how long it will be before Patronaat considers charging our European correspondent rent for how often he’s been here this year but until then he’ll happily make the trip over to this lovely venue in Haarlem. For the headline dates on this tour they’ve got Dutch deathcore outfit Distant with them for the ride and for tonight’s local support, Gallamesh. It was going to be heavy as fuck and JW reckoned the Patronaat didn’t going to know what hit it!

Pelagic Fest – Maastricht, Muziekgieterij – 25 August 2024

Pelagic Fest – Maastricht, Muziekgieterij – 25 August 2024

,

The second day of Pelagic Records’ showcase festival had been a bit fraught with a couple of bands dropping out with short notice. Psychonaut weren’t able to make it and were replaced by The Ocean doing a fan voted set live, and Ihsahn had been trapped at Oslo airport due to strikes and replaced by Cobra The Impaler. But that didn’t stop some quality action going down, as Jase W reports…

Pelagic Fest – Maastricht, Muziekgieterij – 24 August 2024

Finally rounding off his festival season for 2024, it’s the Pelagic Records’ own weekend festival in Maastricht. It’s a really beautiful city and the Muziekgieterij venue is already surprising Jase W with how much of a gorgeous venue it is! Our European correspondent was with two good buds of his for the weekend too, so this was going to be a bloody lovely trip down to the very southern tip of the Netherlands…

Kyros/An Endless Sporadic – Zoetermeer, Poppodium Boerderij – 20 Augsut 2024

Kyros/An Endless Sporadic – Zoetermeer, Poppodium Boerderij – 20 Augsut 2024

,

Zoetermeer and its Poppodium Boerderij venue have been on Jase W’s radar since moving to The Netherlands after being put on his map following Voyager’s ultimately cancelled tour. This is not a particularly easy venue to get to with its awkward positioning off to the east of The Hague and served by at least a semi decent tram system. Anyway that’s enough about minor logistic complaints about The Netherlands, as Kyros and An Endless Sporadic have landed here for a co-headline show and our European correspondent has taken this chance to catch Kyros again with a much longer set after only just having recovered from having his face blown off by their tasty pop tinged prog. Admittedly he had not come across An Endless Sporadic before but he doesn’t doubt he’ll enjoy them if they’re fit to tour with Kyros!
