Read MoreLandmvrks/Ten56/Resolve – Manchester, Rebellion – 24 May 2022
Jase W may as well start paying rent for all the time he spends in Manchester’s Rebellion venue, was back again already for French R’n’B infused metalcore outfit, LANDMVRKS, supported by Resolve and Ten56. Sadly Glassbone couldn’t make it apparently due to some issues at the UK border which is a real shame; hopefully they’ll make it another time!
Read MorePuppy – ‘Pure Evil’ (Rude Records)
Over the last year or so, Puppy have been a group that has repeatedly come up either in news articles Jase W has been reading, with singles announcements, tour announcements (and their subsequent rescheduling) and most recently their latest album; ‘Pure Evil’. The three-piece, from London in good old Blighty, label themselves in their Facebook’s About section as simply “Heavy Metal”, which after checking this album out and it being JW’s first introduction to Puppy in lieu of catching them on the Manchester stop of their current tour, seems to undersell the pretty varied sound they have on ‘Pure Evil’.
Read MoreUgly Kid Joe/Strangers With Guns – Belfast, Limelight 2 – 23 May 2022
You can tell when a band just loves playing live when they squeeze in additional headline shows on “off days” during an arena-filling support tour. You can also tell when they have an affection for a particular corner of the Überverse when they don’t take the easy option by playing said dates on the ÜK mainland but instead venture across the most expensive expanse of water on the planet to bring the party to the island of Ireland… and it shows how much that gesture is appreciated that the first of the two shows in question sees the venue rammed to the rafters on a Monday night…
Read MoreStone Broken/The Fallen State/Tribeless – Cardiff, Y Plas – 22 May 2022
Opening up for Stone Broken, this is the third time David O’Neill had seen Tribeless this year already, not that I’mhe’s clear and the vocals of Lydia McDermott have the quality that is associated with the genre. The half hour set included many of those he has previously reported on for ÜR this year.
Read MoreStormzone/Ravenlight – Ahoghill, Diamond Rock Club – 21 May 2022
Tonight, we head to Ahoghill Rock City to the legendary Diamond Rock Club for local power metal legends Stormzone in what will be their first gig together on stage in 20 months.
Read MoreAll That Remains/Miss May I/Varials/Tallah – Charlotte NC, Neighborhood Theater – 8 May 2022
All That Remains have been on the road celebrating the 15th anniversary of their seminal album ‘The Fall Of Ideals’, bringing along a plethora of metal talent with them. The band made a stop in the Queen City at the Neighborhood Theater along with Miss May I, Varials, and Tallah for what promised to be a crazy night of metal madness in Charlotte.
Read MoreThe Courettes – ‘Back In Mono (B-Sides & Outtakes)’ (Damaged Goods)
One of last year’s most distinctive albums was ‘Back In Mono’, the third album from Denmark’s The Courettes, which combined fuzzed up psyche rock with a Phil Spector ‘wall of sound’ ’60s pop vibe to great effect. The album was highly acclaimed, and now to compliment it comes a new mini-album ‘Back In Mono (B-Sides & Outtakes)’, containing new tunes, B-sides and rarities from around the time of the original album.
Read MoreImminence/Novelists/Port Noir – Manchester, Rebellion –
Continuing his rather busy week, Jase W returned to his usual Manchester gig haunt of Rebellion. Tonight this is host to Imminence supported by two of his favourite bands, Novelists and Port Noir so it’s a bit different to a lot of the other shows he’d been to recently where he was seeing and hearing the supports for the first time…
Read MoreTOUR NEWS: Fozzy confirm November dates
ÜS hard rockers Fozzy have announced that they will be returning to the ÜK and Ireland for the second time in less than a year, with a run of dates in November.
Read MoreKickin’ Valentina/She Burns Red – Crumlin, The Patriot– 18 May 2022
The return of the music scene has seen a plethora of gigs announced, almost too many to support them all but it’s not only about ÜK bands anymore like it was last year after the first lockdown. The return to international touring is giving music fans a great opportunity to see other bands. Von Hertzen Brothers last week was a joy but a bit closer to home gets David O’Neill to see his first ÜS band for a while.
Read MoreThy Kingdom Will Burn – ‘The Void And The Vengeance’ (Scarlet Records)
Finland – the country with the most metal bands per capita (at a whopping 42.6 per 100,000). There just seems to be something in the water that results in metal bands just sprouting out of the ground deep in the Finnish forests! So, it’s really of no surprise that this latest album I’ve picked up hails from that very country, but what is perhaps more surprising is that this is a sophomore release within one year of their debut album. Those guys in Thy Kingdom Will Burn have certainly been busy over the last year, but will ‘The Void And The Vengeance’ be the polished product of a creativity surge, or a rushed job to maintain momentum? Naturally the only way to find out is for Jonny B to give it a spin…
