Something angry was stirring in Glasgow on Friday night, and for once it didn’t include Buckfast. Car Bomb are one pissed off proposition, and they’re not designed to make you feel at home. Their disjointed and angular metal is hard to listen to at times and yet as they roar through a half hour set you can’t help but love them. These guys have been around for a while and with three albums under their belt are a perfect proposition for anyone that likes their music to attempt grievous bodily harm.
Live Review: Architects w/ Bury Tomorrow and Stick To Your Guns
There are nights when you walk into a room and instantly know that you are in for something special. There’s a feeling in the air, one that hints of everyone being on and ready for what is to come. It’s one that was crackling in the ABC on Sunday night as Architects arrive in Glasgow.

Welcome to the PHUQing future
There’s a certain frustration to watching The Wildhearts. Not because of the band themselves, but because of what should have been.

Then there’s the new folk, the people who look slightly out-of-place and aren’t really into heavy metal. However, they have come out tonight because bands like While She Sleeps are getting big and it is awesome to see.

Behemoth w/ Decapitated, Grand Magus and Winterfylleth.
There aren’t going to be many bills that can compete with just how metal Behemoth’s current touring party is and therefore, it is nice to see them playing a venue the size of Glasgow’s O2 ABC. The beer might be overpriced and it’s not actually sold out, but it show’s that extreme metal doesn’t have to exist solely in the underground.
