written by Daniel Leons-Marder I was lucky enough to see two of the brightest lights of the UK classic metal scene, alongside one of my favourite international acts in Canada’s Spell, hosted at the Boston Music Room in London on June 2nd. Parish, who are local favourites, open the proceedings. Their sound really sets them […]

First of all, creating this top 5 list was challenging! Distilling all the amazing artists that have influenced me and that I look up to is no easy task, never mind which album to choose. Ask me in a month and there will probably be other records on the list… But let’s get started! 1. […]
