Dark Tranquillity Signals The Endtimes In London

It's been an exciting month for metal fans in the UK. Not only are we getting the same great new releases as the rest of the world, but there's a number of huge shows happening in London in November. We already saw what happened when Kamelot came to town, but Turkish giants Mezarkabul (aka Pentagram) are performing their first British show this month and Sepultura will be saying farewell to the British isles. If that wasn't enough, one of the pioneering names of melodic death metal, Dark Tranquillity, rolled into Islington to promote their stellar new album, "Endtime Signals," and they brought one hell of a lineup with them.

Fans poured into the Islington Academy as quickly as they could, all excited by what promised to be a fantastic night of music and sure enough, things got off to the perfect start when German quintet Hiraes opened proceedings. Having not long released their sophomore album, "Dormant," a record well worth your time and a great improvement on their debut, "Solitary," I was eager to see how the band were in the live setting. Right off the bat, they attacked the crowd with a pulverising sound, thumping the chests of all in attendance. It's clear that this isn't just a new project for the members, it's a work of real passion and they demonstrate that whole heartedly on stage, with Britta Görtz engaging everyone wonderfully through a mix of warm humility and death metal furor, before bringing the music right to the audience by climbing the barricade and screaming at them. This was a great advert for the band, with whom no doubt a good chunk of the crowd were unfamiliar with, putting themselves over big time and making them a new addition to many playlists. More...

Lucky patrons at a recent Soulfly show in Tempe, Arizona were privy to Nailbomb playing their third show ever and the only one since 1995. While the line-up was minus Alex Newport, the line-up was a formidable one.

The line-up consisted of Max Cavalera (Soulfly, ex-Sepultura, etc.) alongside his son Igor Cavalera on guitar plus Pig Destroyer guitarist Travis Stone, bassist Johny Chow (Stone Sour, Fireball Ministry, Cavalera Conspiracy), Alex Cha of Pig Destroyer on sampler and Adam Jarvis (Misery Index, Pig Destroyer) on drums.
