Nile Causes Havoc By The Avon
If you're on this site, it's safe to assume you have at least a basic knowledge of death metal. From the early days of Possessed and Death, it's a genre that has spawned numerous sub-genres of its own and continues to be one of the most popular forms of metal. Like all branches of metal, it has its legends by now and undoubtedly one of those is Nile. Nile has always made their own path, focusing on the history and mythology that guitarist Karl Sanders has always been fascinated by while creating music which is both intelligence and intense. This year, they unleashed their tenth album, "The Underworld Awaits Us All," their first in five years and already it promises to go down as one of their best yet. So as always, with a new album comes a new tour and tonight it was Bristol's turn to welcome the Carolina crushers.
Kicking things off this evening was Belgian death metal squad Pestifer. It's a shame that there weren't more people here for this set because these Walloons have crafted a very fine take on the genre, one where the heaviness flows very freely while still writing well crafted songs. Science fiction is the main focus of the lyrics, with vocalist Jérôme Bernard joking to fans at one point, "This is another song about aliens," but it's a cool angle to approach the music from, setting them apart from the usual misery and chaos that dominate death metal themes. Pestifer has been around for a while now and in that time they've perfected their stage presence, coming across very professional and operating like a well oiled machine. Their time may have been quite short but they really made the most of it, winning over neutrals in the crowd and ensuring that there'll be a stronger response when they return to the UK. More...

Monstrosity Announces European Tour Dates
The Floridian beast Monstrosity returns to Europe and will have technical death metallers Origin as direct support. Opening up will be Reject The Sickness (Belgium) and Intrepid (Estonia). With an all-encompassing setlist that spans Monstrosity's 30+ year career plus a special "Imperial Doom" set.
Comments Monstrosity's very own Lee Harrison: "We've been primarily focused on recording the new studio album. We wanted to take a break and do some live stuff to let everyone know we are still kicking. I've been working on the new record with guitarist Matt Barnes. Matt has been with the band since 2010 and he has become an important force in what we are doing now. He has really come into his own on this upcoming album and I think people will be blown away when they hear it.
"We have guitarist Justin Walker, who did the 2019 Europe tour and has been playing with us off and on since then. He‘s young and is a team player, so it's nice having him on board. Our original bassist, Mark Van Erp is back in the lineup. People will remember Mark from the Imperial Doom album back when George Corpsegrinder was fronting the band. He's always been a killer bassist and things worked out where it made sense to bring him back in. On vocals, we have been working with Ed Webb, who people may remember from his previous tenure with the band Massacre. Ed has been with us about a year now and it will be good to get out on a full tour and really stretch out with full sets every night.
"As for the tour, we wanted to give everyone a preview of what we have coming up in the future. The new album is turning out great, but there's still a lot of work to be done so we didn't want to wait to get back on tour. It delays the album a little, but it also keeps us in the fan's minds while they're waiting instead of being quiet for too long."
The tour dates are as follows: More...
