Review: Dead Aeon – Apotheosis (EP Review)
April 23, 2013Monaghan blackened/death metal heads, Dead Aeon, currently own all rights to my headphones. For several days it’s been next to near impossible to turn off their debut EP, Apotheosis.

Hellfire()Sounds Review: Psykosis (‘Toxic Terror Storm’ Demo)
March 5, 2012It’s Monday, it’s sunny and that means thrash metal is needed! Rather that rooting through the American bands for some tunage, why not try some local home-grown boys who are just as good.

Hellfire()Sounds Review: Zealot Cult
March 1, 2012In fairness, this should be flagged more as a ‘traditional music’ review than a metal one. Like in the bay area of San Francisco, they don’t call Metallica ‘heavy metal’, they call them ‘heritage music’ and ‘traditional bay area folk’. Same can be said the Zealot Cult and Limerick. If Limerick was allowed revamp and […]

Hellfire()Sounds Review: Exzeltic (Ground Zero EP)
March 1, 2012After seeing these guys on Saturday night at the Wacken Metal battle semi-finals, we’re confident there’s a future for thrash metal in Ireland.

Review: Whitesnake – Live @ The Odyssey Arena, Belfast (May 16th, 2013)
May 20, 2013Maiden, Metallica, Sabbath and now Whitesnake – for some reason Dublin is missing out on a lot of high quality metal and rock shows these last couple of years; with the bands choosing to play up north instead. In some ways it sucks, but if you’re from the north it’s probably a long overdue welcome. […]
