Mad About Rock

Mammothfest tv is an excellent medium to discover and appreciate new emerging and heavyweight metal acts within the UK and around the world, and is something we are in need of, as there's not a lot of shows around like this! Discussed in this latest episode is the thriving metal scene from extreme metal and UK festivals, including Damnation Festival and Temples Festival, and of course previews of the international bands that are due to grace our ears at Mammothfest 2015!

Mammothfest is back: Bigger, Darker and Louder than ever!! It will have a massive impact! After two successful MammothFest event's and the comeback of festival in 2014 after a four year break, MammothFest show they mean serious business and unlike most festivals, they don't keep you waiting long, as they have generously and epically decided to release not just the headline bands for the three day event, but the whole bloody line-up!! Although in keeping with the festive spirit they did decide to do a 12 day of Christmas annoucement, giving a band a day, so some bands will already be known. The line-up spans from bands from all round the world to local champions and returning crowd pleasers from previous MammothFest's, which includes Meta-Stasis, Malefice, Core Of iO, Abhorrent Decimation and Stone Circle (who can proudly say they have been on every MammothFest bill so far!) This three day event is set to be the biggest and meanest MammothFest yet! Where attendees w...

Intelligible progressive metallers from Brighton release their sophomore self-titled album through Terrorizer magazine, which can be picked up for free with the latest issue, as well as being available through the usual music outlets, such as Spotify, iTunes and Google Store. Although on the face of it, seven songs doesn’t seem much, believe me when I say they cram a lot in to each and every song, in the best way possible!.. Opening song `Beekeeper’ chugs to life with demonic vocals, intricate dynamic guitars and a hell of a lot of ethereal atmospheric vibes – you could say this is a ‘buzz’ worthy opening that will take you through a musical exploration and will leave a ‘sting’, especially with the shift half way through taking a more darker turn, as well introducing powerful clean vocals which help give more depth and emphasis. There are many elements and transitions here, but it is executed with such precision and style making it flow and remain coherent... ‘Easter I...
