"Hawkins bass intro on opener 'Power' - also the opener on 'WAITT' - saw the bespectacled black 'straightjacketed' presence of Jackson take control of proceedings - the band immediately making a musical statement of intent as well as a political one. Their excellent single 'The Working Man' - cue Jackson's political flag waving - although based on the drive to accumulate possessions and the wastefulness that often follows, was beautifully counterbalanced by the delivery of a couple of guitar solos from Rowberry. Two years ago the band released their next number ‘Last Chance’ for the charity CD compilation ‘Voices for Hospices’, which featured – amongst others - a brand new track from Steve Hackett."

Rising British Metalcore group Death Blooms have revealed their new music video 'Last Ones' (today's Video Of The Day) ahead of UK Tour with Insane Clown Posse and Mushroomhead this November including London's O2 Forum Kentish Town on Sunday 19th. Hailing from Liverpool/Manchester, Death Blooms released their blistering self-titled debut EP last May and received critical acclaim from the press and music fans alike for its melodic Hardcore Metal fusion, and 'Last Ones' is the third clip to be lifted from the band's EP, following the release of 'I'm Dead' and 'Sick' earlier this year. As supporters of the charity MIND, the new music video strongly voices Death Blooms' concern that communities need to pull together and be more understanding of mental health issues in our society, especially as technology rapidly advances.

"It was a cold dark night on a Halloween weekend and the streets of Angel, Islington were filled with devils, demons and various decomposing corpses. And that was just inside the venue. Because tonight we are here at the O2 Academy Islington to watch the excellent Iron Maidens, complete with assorted versions of Eddie. An oh-so appropriate band for the occasion. For those of you not familiar with the band (yet, I expect you will be…) Iron Maidens are an LA based all-female tribute act to one of the biggest Rock bands on the planet. It’s no small feat to carry off a good tribute act, let alone one that is at the top of their game and still currently touring. And if said tribute act are also endorsed by the band and have been known to have played with various members of the band, you start to get a picture of how good this lot are. More of that later…."
