Overthrow (24/3/25, The Black Heart, London, England, UK)

Monday night saw the Unholy Kingdom of Redemption tour hit the Black Heart in London, which was perfect for me given that it was a night off, I rather like the headliners, Overthrow, and the gig only cost nine quid; … Continue reading

Carpathian Forest (20/3/25, The Underworld, London, England, UK)

Last Thursday night was a black-metal triple bill down at the Underworld, with Norwegian notables Carpathian Forest, last seen by me at last year’s Incineration Fest, returned to the Big Smoke for a fully fledged headline show, bringing along London-based … Continue reading

Kim Wilde (19/3/25, indigo at the O2, London, England, UK)

I’d been looking forward to Wednesday night’s Kim Wilde gig for quite some time, and in the end, it certainly lived up to the anticipation. Before that, though, fellow ’80s luminaries Cutting Crew took to the stage for a short … Continue reading

Black Occult Fest 2025 (2/3/25 New Cross Inn, London, England, UK)

Sunday’s outing was something rather special: an indoor festival down sarf London way featuring bands of varying but adjacent genres, namely noise, power electronics, neofolk, and my main draw, black metal. In short, a combo of familiar  sounds (and faces) … Continue reading

Uriah Heep (26/2/25, London Palladium, London, England, UK)

Impressed as I was with their support slot when I saw Priest last year, and considering that this was being touted as their touring swansong, I decided to give Uriah Heep’s Magician’s Farewell tour a gander last Wednesday. Support came … Continue reading

Marilyn Manson (21/2/25, Eventim Apollo, London, England, UK)

Somewhat fittingly for a show on the infamous Antichrist Superstar’s comeback tour, this sold-out gig was memorable for both the right and wrong reasons. Before the main act came Gallic alt-rockers The Blackmordia, their set not exactly landing well with … Continue reading

Cyndi Lauper (11/2/25, O2 Arena, London, England, UK)

Cyndi Lauper’s return to London last Tuesday was quite a bit different from her previous stop-off in the Big Smoke. Whilst her Royal Albert Hall show back in June was much more celebratory (with Cyndi memorably kicking off proceedings with … Continue reading

Reprobate Resurgence: MRDA’s Infernal Return!

Well, that was the longest fucking hiatus ever! How’ve you cunts been? There’s so much I’ve wanted to say over the past ten or so months, but life and lethargy got in the way. Hopefully, the latter is over, writing-wise. … Continue reading

Halal & Hypocrisy XIV: Takin’ the Cake!

I’ve kept up intermittently with the bloggings-on of Janet Bloomfield, more commonly known by the nom de guerre JudgyBitch; opining on subjects such as misandry, the race-IQ gap, Donald Trump, and the failures of feminism, the Bitch has made quite … Continue reading
