  • Restrospective #7 – Terrorvision

    ‘We are Terrorvision, and we are from Bradford’. These are the words spoken by Tony Wright, lead vocalist of Terrorvision on each of the many, many times I have seen this band.

  • Retrospective #6

    System of a Down are an Armenian-American band that rose from the ashes of the band Soil in 1994. Over a 7-year period, they released 5 full length albums and are often discussed as being a nu-metal band, although I prefer to think of them as alternative metal. In the mid ’90’s, I bought a…

  • Slight Changes

    As I continue to write the next entry into my album retrospective series, I have taken the decision to make a very slight change. In the earlier retrospectives, I gave each album a mark out of 10. This isn’t a bad thing, giving the reader my perspective of a particular album. However, I think the…

    Monster Magnet are New Jersey’s finest! Originally formed in 1989, only Dave Wyndorf remains from the original line-up. This retrospective will cover their first 10 studio albums and does not include their latest 2021 covers album. In the 90’s, it was very hard to find Metal on terrestrial television in the UK. We had a…

  • A Friday Night Wasted

    So, tonight is Friday and I found myself at a loose end. So, whilst partaking in a few Brewdog Punk IPA’s, I found myself getting even more confused about building this webpage. There were numerous issues. Firstly, my Spotify link has failed. I have an evergrowing playlist that contains songs that were stuck in my…

    So I am now a few months into whatever ‘this’ is and it has become abundantly clear to me that I don’t really have a clue what I am doing, especially with regards to setting up the page the way I think it should look. That’s why it looks a little bit of a mess…
