‘This is hardcore. Got it? Hardcore. With-a-capital-and-angry-aitch.’

The best review we’ve had in yet of the PAY NO RESPECT release from Midlands Rocks.

‘…Moving On is a beast. There is nothing that isn’t angry about it. Imagine if you will – but only for a moment dear reader – a huge gorilla. Not just a big gorilla, but a huge-with-a-capital-and-angry-aitch gorilla arriving home late after an exceptionally bad day at the office to find his wife in bed with an amorous African bush elephant. I think you’d agree that the skirmish, the hoo-ha if you will, would be more than a little emotionally charged, yes? Well, multiply that by ten and that would approximate how this “mini album” sounds…’

Rock Realms Review TERAKAI’s Latest EP Release.

admin — Thu, 29 Jul 2010 13:35:20 +0000

‘…The sound is a maul-icious combination of broken beats, rumbling bass, downtuned guitars and really rather excellent vocals. In fact the demonic howls of Joe Knipe are right at the top end of what I’ve heard this year…’

Exclusive IMPERIAL VENGEANCE Interview

admin — Tue, 27 Jul 2010 10:57:43 +0000

Cack Blabbath talk to Dave Bryan about all things Imperial Vengeance shaped.

You can read an extract below but check out the full interview HERE.

‘…The cover art for your next release ‘Black Heart of Empire’ (due out this autumn) has a Dickensian feel to it, is this a complete departure from the more Militaristic style of your previous album ‘At the Going Down of the Sun’ or more of a natural progression? And does this mean we can expect a change of style in the costumes the band wear too?
It is an expansion of the original concept. Although the cover of ATGDOTS focussed on the more militaristic imagery; which it had to do really because of the subject matter of the title track, only three other songs had any real “martial content”. I guess the video for Airborne and the prominence of Harry’s appearance cemented the theme in the mind of the audience. Image wise, the next album will focus on the darker side of life under the Empire: the first half of the album will be essentially London-centric; a world of treachery, of gas lit streets and class divide. There are no “war songs” as I think we have covered that ground now, and there are many more topics for us to explore. What I will say, is that yes, the stage costumes will also shift gear slightly, but if you are expecting to see some ghastly metal version to Lionel Bart’s “Oliver” you are going to be disappointed…’
