Work travel has made for a stunted start to a new year of music for ILSUDH2, but Brian H is here with the year’s first metal review! Machine Head is one of those bands that have been through some ups and downs over the years. After obliterating the metal world with their debut album...

I am literally running out the door to catch a flight to San Francisco, but couldn’t help sharing the latest from the Chelsea Wolfe camp. A few days ago Chelsea tweeted that she was ‘living inside an XXL biggie smalls t-shirt‘. What seemed an odd statement at the time now makes sense. Full time...
