ALBUM REVIEW: VENUES – Transience

VENUES may not be a band that are instantly recognisable in the metal scene, but they soon will be if their third studio album 'Transience' is anything to go by. Released via Arising Empire, the German four-piece have produced an album with astonishing diversity that pulls you in from the word go and keeps you gripped right to the end.

ALBUM REVIEW: GHØSTKID – HOLLYWOOD SUICIDE

Formerly a member of Eskimo Callboy (now Electric Callboy), German metal master Sebastian “Sushi” Biesler wanted to create a project of his own, which he did to great critical acclaim, when he released the album 'GHØSTKID' in 2020 during the Covid-19 pandemic. Now, he's back with his second offering 'HOLLYWOOD SUICIDE', an eleven-track album which takes you on a journey through pain and despair.

Liverpool’s Red Rum Club released their fourth album 'Western Approaches' in February, and tonight's sold-out crowd would have been delighted when the band announced that their UK tour would be kicking off in Glasgow, promising to play all ten tracks from the newly released record. Over the past five years this quirky indie sextet have gained an army of followers, proven by those that were crammed into Sauchiehall Street’s Garage tonight.

ALBUM REVIEW: Bruce Dickinson – The Mandrake Project

Earlier this month Bruce Dickinson released his seventh solo album 'The Mandrake Project', his first solo release in 19 years, since 2005's 'Tyranny Of Souls'. Dickinson himself recently commented that this album was ten years in the making, and we think it was well worth the wait.
