Much to our absolute and utter astonishment, Stormblast was as busy as it has been for the past weeks last night – despite town appearing to not be all that busy (and of course, it being really fucking cold).

Stormblast last night was yet another blast of the usual – i.e. total lunacy. Highlights including various groups of locals (i.e. non-metallers) happily dealing with black metal, but being scared by Meshuggah, and as Andy noted, their reaction to Opeth (the opening to the utterly sublime Ghost of Perdition is a little sudden, shall we […]

I was in Berlin this week, so I left Stormblast in the capable hands of my colleagues, and when I find the old setlist, I’ll add it…
Into the Pit: 022: Interlock – Live at The Fenton Leeds – 09-December 2005
First up were Skinflick. I’ve gone on record in the past with opinions on them (in short: too much of a wannabe Killing Joke, too much volume and little of actual interest), so I was a little surprised to find them sounding different to what I recall. Although, it seems they have a new line-up, […]

Stormblast continues to grow and get better – many, many thanks to all that come down for it, despite my initial reservations it has done really well. I just wish we had more time to play all the stuff that is requested!

I’ve been trailing this for a while, so it’s time I got on with it and posted it.
Into the Pit: 021: Chimaira – Live at Corporation Sheffield – 05-December 2005
I only caught the second half of the first support Hatesphere‘s set. And they were pretty damned good, too. Good old-school thrash, really – from a band that clearly loved what they were doing, and that enthusiasm rubbed off on the crowd. The lead singer provided the quotes of the night, too: “Here’s a song […]

An interesting night, last night. Stormblast was fantastic fun with a great turnout and many amusingly pissed metallers. (I am kinda glad the viking drinking horns were forgotten, though)
