Next up was Judas Priest, and wow, what a performance, what a set, what a night. If I hadnโt already been overloaded by how good Phil Campbell and Alice Cooper were, Judas Priest were exceptional, and it finished off what was essentially a night of Hard Rock & Heavy Metal heaven for me. Getting to hear so much from Painkiller live was a real blessing, being Priest's heaviest album, it is a personal favourite of mine. I was also surprised by the inclusion of Solar Angels, which was also performed expertly live by the band.
KAINE FRONTMAN GIVES THANKS TO OZZY OSBOURNE – A HERO TO US ALL
My bandmates and I have pondered since the news, without Ozzy, without Black Sabbath, we would have likely never met, never become friends, and never played music together. That is just how much of an impact Ozzy has had on our lives and everything we do.
ZETROโS EXODUS EXIT COMMENTS EXPLOITED FOR NEGATIVE CLICKS
I read a number of this morning's social media headlines, which were derived from Steve Zetro Souzaโs recent YouTube video where he talks about his Exodus exit. The headline most social media outlets have gone for is โZETRO REFUSES TO PERFORM WITH EXODUS AGAINโ
LIAMโS LISTENING ROOM – 25/3/25
My pick of the week was pretty easy this time round. The new Warbringer was the only album that really came close to topping it but Iโve gravitated back to this album so much more often. Iโve been a fan of this side project from Haken guitarist Charlie Griffiths since the debut album was released back in 2022.
LIAMโS LISTENING ROOM – 14/3/25
There were a few solid releases that came out this past week, but the biggest standout for me was Whitechapelโs latest offering, โHymns in Dissonanceโ. I am not a Deathcore fan, and I am extremely picky when it comes to what I consider to be good Deathcore.
LIAM’S LISTENING ROOM [7/3/2025]
Hi all, and welcome to my listening room, a (potentially/hopefully) weekly column on what my listening habits have been throughout the week and hopefully a good way to direct our viewers to what I think is the best new music around, as well as maybe some other bands that might have been missed by some. This wasnโt my idea to do, but as someone who loves discovering, learning and listening to new things I feel this is a perfect outlet for me to talk about the stuff I love, mainly because whenever I try to speak passionately about the music I love, aside from a specific few people, my passion goes straight over their heads and I end up feeling like a plum!
