Hello,
We are two students at Leeds Uni in the north of England, who like metal, a lot, so much that we feel the need to express our delight for new albums/gigs/Phil Anselmo haircut evolutions in a format a bit more than a Facebook status that invariably says something like : 'Joe Bloggs thought Slayer were fucking heavy ANGEL OF DETH WOOOOO!!'
We like our Maze of Torments as much as our Alex Chiltons, so expect quite a spectrum of musical stuff and that. We are gig whores and album munchers so expect vaguely regular updates, unless we have essay deadlines, but that doesn't usually get in the way, 'cause we're tr00er than badger burning a church, innit.
Peace out and that, stay safe, and listen to Jethro Tull,
Jack Taylor and 'Meshuggahpuffs'

Baroness, Islington Mill, Salford
Truth be told, Salford is a bit of a dump, but it will be fondly remember for what Baroness did at the Islington Mill on the 20th January.
Beginning with the divine instrumental "Bullhead's Psalm", they effortlessly oscillate between the ethereal and the formidable. It's fucking exquisite, and it's easy to forget they're in their infancy. They play for a seamless hour before frontman John Baizley bashfully thanks the crowd for its enthusiasm and the band round the night off with "Tower Falls".
These bearded folk seem to have the knack of knowing when to have a bit of a wank about with tricky time signatures and when to nonchalantly slam out a big fuck off riff that has us maneheads headbanging like its 1984.
With two sophisticated albums out, rather humbly named "Red Album" and "Blue Record" (Pokémon, anyone?), along with a tight and honed live sound, theyre set to "Do-A-Mastodon" and launch themselves into the upper echelons of the metal world. Coming soon to a stadium near you....maybe.
Yours tr00ly,
Jack and 'Meshuggahpuffs'
