Bloodstock Open Air has added another two bands to it’s 2011 line up. Bloodstock Open Air has added another two bands to it’s 2011 line up. After a 24 year silence, NWOBHM pioneers Hellreturn to the world of metal with an appearance on the Ronnie James Dio stage. Cited as a huge indirect influence, and as one of the true founding fathers of occult metal, the band formed in 1982 from the carcasses of UK metal bands RACE AGAINST TIME and PARALEX. Seemingly plagued by disaster, Hell were shunned by the metal press at the time, who could not get their collective heads around a band so different and ahead of their time. Add to this a bankrupt label, and the tragic suicide of singer/ guitarist Dave Halliday, the world was not yet ready for Hell.

Appreciation of a live gig is based on a number of factors, and that invariably includes the mood you’re in. Unfortunately for three-piece Sparrow and the Workshop, my disposition was not at its peak. Because of the high winds throughout Scotland on Monday, my usual 3 hour train journey to Glasgow (about an hour too long anyway!) took a frustrating 8 long hours. I was not a happy camper.

Graduating from the Arctic Monkeys school of DIY, word of mouth-type promotion – with a bit of help from the World Wide Web – Cults are here with their dazzling, hypnotic and, more often than not, cheery-sounding debut album. For those that are as yet unfamiliar, Cults are a boyfriend and girlfriend duo from San Diego in California, who are currently based in New York and are signed to Lily Allen’s new record label In The Name Of. For their first effort, Cults seem to be proudly wearing their influences on their sleeve, although not as you might expect. Even though the album does frequently drift into oddly familiar territory from yesteryear, the overall feel of the record manages to capture a very personal and unique style from this new fascinating new band.
