CONCERT REVIEW: Solstafir – Oranssi Pazuzu – Hamferð Live at Manchester Club Academy


“The Nordic Descent” tour must be carrying in its wake a touch of that famous Nordic climate as the UK is treated to its one light dusting of snow for the year. And of course as is tradition, once the first flakes touch ground all roads are rendered seemingly unusable which means our journey to the venue is inevitably delayed, throw in some minor confusion with passes on the door and we are unfortunately only able to catch the tail end of tonight’s opening act.Continue reading

CONCERT REVIEW: Boris – Starcrawler Live at Racket NYC


10.23.24 – Racket NYC

This was a doozy of a weeknight show in Manhattan and we were gifted with over an hour of Boris and their amplified wall of sound.  It’s crazy to think that it has been since 2001 since we haven’t gotten at least one yearly release from Boris in some form and this year’s Hello There collab (with Coaltar of the Deepers), live performance of Fade, and 2 years later, and Noise. All these releases dropping this year continue to prove how prolific of a band they are.

Night Demon, a trio hailing from Ventura, California, embodies just that.

CONCERT REVIEW: KMFDM – Morlocks – Live at Irving Plaza


Forty years ago, Sascha Konietzko started a little band as a performance art project, KMFDM. During the following years, there have been a few lineup changes,  albums released every year or so, regular tours and growing popularity. The band is one of the original Industrial bands, and to celebrate the milestone, they did what they do best: release a new album, tour, and perform. This time the tour took them to Irving Plaza in New York City and Ghost Cult was there to join in the fun. Continue reading
