FESTIVAL REVIEW: Max Cavalera Dynasty Show ft. Soulfly – Nailbomb – Incite – Go Ahead and Die – Healing Magic – Jade Helm and More Live at The Marquee Theater


Nailbomb. NAILBOMB. It feels hard to believe that I got to see Nailbomb’s first show since 1995, but here we are. Max Cavalera is in at least six bands, has worked with at least a dozen more, and performed with three of those during the first-ever Max Cavalera Dynasty Show (MCDS) – Soulfly, Nailbomb, and Go Ahead and Die (GAAD). Max’s son, Igor, almost performed in three bands that night (Nailbomb, GAAD, Healing Magic), and Igor’s girlfriend Jackie Cruz performed in both GAAD and Jade Helm. Max’s other son, Richie, is the frontman for Incite, who also played. So, six Cavalera Dynasty bands, with four local bands opening the show – Six Million Dead, Shadow Guilt, Ocean Harvest, and Zherra.

Let’s get right into things.Continue reading

ALBUM REVIEW: Soulfly – The Soul Remains Insane The Studio Albums 1998 – 2004


 

Whenever an established act loses its frontman, especially one as talismanic as Max Cavalera, fans are usually left choosing sides. Do you go with the musician striking out on their own or do your allegiances remain with the band? Largely dependent on the situation, an amicable split can leave listeners happily following both parties down separate paths to the promise of glory but when open hostility is at the heart of the separation, loyalties are often put to the test.Continue reading

FESTIVAL REVIEW: Bloodstock Open Air 2019


Now in its nineteenth year, the annual metal pilgrimage to Bloodstock Open Air at Catton Hall in Derbyshire was joined this year by a very special, but highly unstable, guest.

The weather.

Yes, I know it’s England in August, and we should be more than accustomed to inconsistent weather conditions, but this really was something else. Tents too hot to be inside one moment were waterlogged the next. People soaked to the skin by sudden, torrential downpours were suffering sunburn minutes later. Grass turned to mud, mud became rivers, and the unprecedented winds would go on to cause problems all of their own.Continue reading
