Desertfest London 2024: Day 1
London, one of the most famous cities in the world, as well as one of the busiest. It has a rich history of everything from engineering to finance, language and of course, music. It may be the furthest thing from a desert one can get without going to Scandinavia or the South Pole, but the Desertfest event has become an essential trip for fans of doom, sludge and stoner metal, as well as heavy blues and naturally, desert rock. It attracts some of the biggest and best names in these fields and makes the busy streets of Camden bearable for a few days. This year, the festival was celebrating its eleventh edition and raised a few eyebrows for hosting some bands that may not spring to mind when one thinks of Desertfest, but nonetheless promised to bang some heads after turning them.
Those lucky enough to attend the first day had some special treats in store for them. Just down the road from Camden tube station lies Raven Records, a small but very cool store dedicated to metal music and today they had none other than Orange Goblin visiting, who were giving fans a first listen of their brand new album, "Science, Not Fiction" (spoiler alert: it rules!) as well as taking photos and signing posters. While not officially part of the Desertfest schedule, the band has played at the event three times, including the very first in 2012, so it was right up attendees' street.
Speaking of which, Desertfest welcomed a very special guest for a Q&A session on Denmark Street, in the Black Heart, one of several venues in use over the weekend; former Black Sabbath singer Tony Martin. Promoting the remasters of the Sabbath records he sang on (with the exception of "The Eternal Idol,") the singer was warm and humble, explaining to eager fans how he joined the band, the surrealism of the band's first show in Moscow and the confusion caused by the involvement of Body Count's Ernie C on the "Forbidden" album. After a thoroughly entertaining talk, he hung around to sign autographs and take pictures with fans, making time for everyone who wanted to speak with him. A phenomenal voice and a lovely person, let's hope he's finally going to get the recognition he deserves with the re-release of these albums. More...
