Band Of The Month [October, 2011]: Old Corpse Road

Posted in Band Of The Month with tags Band Of The Month, British Black Metal, Folk Metal, Old Corpse Road, Skyclad, Valkyrian Music Band Of The Month on 1st October 2011 by Nico Solheim-Davidson, the North Sea Poet

The voting for October’s Band Of The Month began as a fierce competition between The Colour Line and ReVerbed, however, Darlington-based blackened folk metal quintet Old Corpse Road swooped in at the last minute and snatched victory quite unexpectedly gaining the majority of the votes. Old Corpse Road avoid the cliché black metal style of Satanic imagery, instead, their songs are about British folklore with masterfully written music and lyrics. Old Corpse Road have shared the stage with the likes of Hecate Enthroned, Northern Oak, Windrider and Skyclad.

Rating: 5/5

Posted in Band Of The Month with tags GMA, New Wave of British Heavy Metal, Valkyrian Music Band Of The Month, Worksop, Ziyos on 1st September 2011 by Nico Solheim-Davidson, the North Sea Poet

After a long, gruelling week of voting Ziyos have come out on top to become September’s Band Of The Month! Ziyos are a five piece metal band from Worksop, Nottinghamshire. They bring a fresh, new sound to the British metal scene without betraying their roots. Since their formation, they have slowly been on the rise in the UK metal underground and have even received support from the Georgia Metal Alliance.
