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) . This five-piece impressed that day, and they have a new single named “Never Ask Again”.

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: Skillet - Revolution

-

Remember Skillet? Bursting into the world of rock and metal in the mid-90s, they’ve had a successful career to put it mildly. Their stats are hugely impressive. 20 years signed to Atlantic Records saw the band from Memphis shift over 20 million units and their current streams are over 24 billion. Throw in Grammy nominations, Top five albums in the Billboard 200, and plenty of other accolades, and we are dealing with a bit of a monster (pardon the pun!)  So why would a band as successful as Skillet decide that album number 12 would be something different. An independent release no less. Their first release since 2022’s Dominion , there’s a vibrancy to the band’s sound. Frontman and founder John Cooper explains. “Since this was the first independent record, it put some pep in my step, so to speak. We did exactly what we wanted to do. If I was on the road and felt inspired to write, I just did. In the past, we’d make a bunch of ideas and whittle everything down for the album. This tim...
