Gig review - Amon Amarth + Wintersun @ Scala - 23/11/06

Wintersun (reviewed by Taj)rnrnIt was my first time at the Scala and it is a very intimate venue, so this made the performance personal. I was watching from the top balcony, facing the stage which was a great view. The performance started with a kind of passion you had to take notice of. Wintersun were on for over half an hour, but they started to look as...

Gig Review - Dimmu Borgir + Amon Amarth @ Forum - 28/09/07

There are many artists that engender divisive opinion in the snap reaction after mentioning their name. But when there are as many bones of contention to liking or lumping a band as in the arena of rock 'n' roll, it's hard to survive as well as Children of Bodom have.
