NEW REVIEW - MY RUIN: Declaration Of Resistance This is the album for our times: a call to arms to not accept, but to resist and to stand up. Be counted. As we are told: "Speak, scream, march, stream" Read the full review: musicbiography.blog/2026/01/09/m...

LATEST REVIEW: W.A.S.P. - The Crimson Idol Is it overblown? Sure. Is it self-indulgent? Perhaps. But for all the cliches it might contain, this album at its core is a human heart dealing with insecurity, loneliness, rage, and above all, love. musicbiography.blog/2025/11/19/w...

NEW REVIEW - DEFTONES: Adrenaline Unfairly lumped in to the 'nu-metal' category, this is an album that is a melding of metal and melody that makes Deftones stand out from the pack Read the full review here: musicbiography.blog/2025/09/16/d...

NEW REVIEW - SKIN: Skin You know those tales that begin "A mate of mate knows..."? This is just such a tale. Also, we take a dive into the debut album from sadly defunct rock band, Skin. And we most certainly, look but don't touch. Read the full review here: musicbiography.blog/2025/07/30/s...

NEW REVIEW - PUBLIC DISTURBANCE: Possessed To Hate Let's go back to late 1990's Cardiff and the burgeoning #ukhc scene for this short, sharp kick in the face.... musicbiography.blog/2025/07/16/p...

HELLOWEEN: Keeper Of The Seven Keys (Part II) Mad scientists. Eagles. Mystical Keys. Laser screens. It's all here on 'Keeper of The 7 Keys: Part 2" by Helloween

After much anticipation the LOAD deluxe boxset from Metallica finally arrives on June 13th. Back in 2021, to celebrate its 25th anniversary, I wrote a series about that time in my life as a rabid fan and the whole album, singles and gigs I went to (LINKINBIO if you want to read that). (/1)

@initialspd.bsky.social Hello mate! Nice to see you over here. How's things?

NEW REVIEW: @terrorvisionband.bsky.social - How to Make Friends and Influence People It's a corker of an album and if your memories of the band revolve around that one song, then do yourself a favour and listen to the whole album. You won't regret it. musicbiography.blog/2025/05/08/t...

NEW REVIEW: MARILLION - Fugazi An album that I feel gets a bit maligned yet there is much to love on this @marillion.com album. So, with that, don't walk across my polished floor... let's dig in! musicbiography.blog/2025/04/23/m...

@maidenpod.bsky.social OY! CHAPS! I need an email so I can send you a Googledrive link for some lovely Maiden goodies!!

NEW REVIEW: DIRE STRAITS - Sultans Of Swing: The Very Best of.... Yes, I know. Reviewing a greatest hits CD. But when it is banger after banger isn't that all you need? But the emotional ties to this band go a bit deeper than that.... Full review here: musicbiography.blog/2025/04/09/d...

NEW REVIEW: FAITH NO MORE - Album Of The Year So much of my love of this album is intertwined with being 17 and in a band and hanging out and writing tunes and talking nonsense. So does the album stand up, musically, after 28 years? Read the full review musicbiography.blog/2025/03/24/f...

NEW REVIEW: TURA SATANA - Relief Through Release An album that was revolutionary for me. With it's riffage, guttural, heart wrenching vocals and naked lyrics, this album was eye-opening for me in 1998. But does it stand up after 28 years? Full review - wp.me/pbeVro-2q3

NEW REVIEW: PANTERA - Far Beyond Driven A formative album for me that took me into harsher vocals, harder riffs, darker subject matter. An album that was unlike anything I had ever heard before. Does it stand up after 31 years? Full review: musicbiography.blog/2025/02/12/p...

NEW REVIEW: ANTHRAX | Among The Living Often touted and hailed as *the* Anthrax album of the classic 80s lineup, how does this much vaunted album hold up today? Let's find out.... musicbiography.blog/2025/01/23/a...

NEW: The Sooty Show | Hidden Talent As we bade farewell to Nicko McBrain from the live side of Maiden, I take a quick look back over three McBrain Moments from quite early on in my fandom and how I try to approach life in a somewhat McBrain-esque manner.... musicbiography.blog/2024/12/16/t...

NEW REVIEW: GENESIS - We Can't Dance Stuffed full of hits, the swansong album of the Collins-era of Genesis is an album that has prog, storytelling lyrics, pop songs, catchy choruses, instrumental passages. But is it any good? Read the full review here: musicbiography.blog/2024/12/04/g...
