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...

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...

LIVE REVIEW: Bewitcher, / Devastator - Star and Garter, Manchester 29th May 2025

By the time work relinquishes its cold grip on me, I end up being late for local boys Bloodsaw’s opening set. From the looks of it I have missed out. They are deep into a cover of Painkiller and doing an excellent job by the time I get to the stage. The crowd is large and very much into it. I really do feel like I missed out on this one. Sorry guys.  It’s not long before Tom Collins strolls menacingly onto the stage, with scythe in hand to rapturous applause. He swaps scythe for bass and we are off. Collins confidently takes his position behind his ram skull adorned mic stand, providing the thumping, pounding bass lines Devastator’s music contains. The black, roll, thrash metal takes very little time to cause a manic pit to open up. We have bodies, hair and grins flying around this venue and it’s awesome to witness. I have been a fan of this band for a long time now. I have seen them entertain on both small stage and larger festival stage, and not once have I been disappointed....
