LIVE REVIEW: Red Method / Foetal Juice - The Ferret, Preston 3rd May 2024

-

There is no better way of spending the Friday night of a bank holiday weekend than going over to the Ferret in Preston to see a few bands. Tonight, its’ a double header with Foetal Juice and Red Method bringing their wares.  First up Foetal Juice, the Oldham based band known for their outrageous song titles and extreme death metal style. The opener Dutch Oven sets out their stall straight away. Fast, furious speed/crossover punk-based metal. Lots of influences from 80s / 90s cross over bands like Crumbsuckers, D.R.I., Broken Bones etc. with brutal death metal vocals. This is right up my street as this is what got me into metal in the 80s, Typical Viz or gore-soaked lyrics, Foetal Juice’s songs include the glorious Take Your Face for A Shit, Noneckahedron and Mountain of Gore, demonstrating that British metal still has a sense of humour.  Lead singer Dez prowls the stage, growling out his humour or horror-soaked lyrics whilst bass player Lewis bounces around throwing out slab...

Twin Fire single review

  In March this year, I attended the brilliant “Smoke on Trent” festival in Newcastle-under-Lyme. While there, I enjoyed many bands I was familiar with, also discovered a few new gems. One of these new to me bands, that took the stage by storm, was “Twin Fire”. A rock band from  Newcastle upon Tyne ( or the real Newcastle, as they explained from the stage) .

Once we move over to the  clear vocals, the talents of the vocalist  Dan, shine. The catchy tune continues in an addictive manner.  The band as a whole have a swagger that comes across in this tune, while their live performances  display a good deal of entertainment and stage craft. A calmer bridge section displays a variety in song writing u...

ALBUM REVIEW: Masters of Reality - The Archer

-

2009 was the last studio release by this seminal band, whose debut album in 1989 is rightly regarded as a classic and still gets regular airtime in this house. With Chris Goss the only original member, the elusive genius now brings the band back to life once more with their latest album, The Archer .  Masters of Reality has always driven their own course. Rightly credited as a major influence on the desert rock scene, the band’s canvas was spread much wider. The Archer comprises nine tracks that span just under 40-minutes, making it an easily digestible record but not one that diverts from the quality that Goss has always crafted. Here he’s in fine form, the sprawling songs take their own shape and form, nothing rushed and much mellowness as the bluesy vibes cascade across the songs. Barstow , which sits in the middle of the album is a perfect example. A sleepy gentile track that oozes relaxed quality, it’s nonetheless a fine example of the laidback approach which makes this album...
