Mother Vulture & The Sprats – Satan’s Hollow, Manchester, 27.02.26

There’s something about walking down those steps into Satan’s Hollow that always feels like entering another world. The air was thick with fog as we stepped inside, lights cutting through the haze, anticipation hanging heavy before a single note had even rung out. I’ve been waiting for this moment ever since discovering Mother Vulture at Radar Festival last year, and tonight. Their headline show in Manchester, felt like it had been a long time coming.

The Sprats (7) kicked off the night in a blaze of colour. Bright, vibrant lights flooded the smoke-filled stage, giving their set an almost kaleidoscopic feel. From the first song, they sounded tight and confident, filling the room with a punchy, energetic sound that immediately grabbed attention.

Their lead singer brought serious energy. Constantly moving, hyping the crowd, and refusing to let the pace drop. A cover of “pump it” went down especially well, getting heads nodding and voices joining in. A strong support slot that warmed the room perfectly.

And then it was time.

Mother Vulture (10) came out swinging. No slow build, no easing into it. Just straight into chaos from the opening moments, it was clear we were in for something special. The guitarist was already running off stage within the first few songs, the band throwing kicks in every direction, heads banging relentlessly in unison. There wasn’t a second where anyone stood still.

They moved like absolute maniacs, jumping, climbing amps, launching themselves back down, barely pausing for breath. At one point, the music cut out and the guitarist vanished entirely, only to return carrying a crate of San Miguel. In true Mother Vulture fashion, it only escalated from there — at one stage attempting to play with a beer box on his head, failing spectacularly but somehow making it even more entertaining. The chaos wasn’t just for show either. Percussion instruments were layered in throughout the set, adding intensity and a raw edge to the sound.

Footage has appeared online of some My Chemical Romance-shaped history, shot at a show they played in Philadelphia back in 2003.

Now, for the scene historians amongst you, this will correlate to a moment in time that the band were out promoting their debut album, the dramatic, decadent and delightfully scrappy ‘I Brought You My Bullets, You Brought Me Your Love’, which was released in the Summer of 2002.

The show this footage is taken from took place smack bang between that album and the band releasing the now-iconic ‘Three Cheers For Sweet Revenge’ a year later. So at this point, they have very much found their footing but are still making their way through the underground.

Taking place at The North Star Bar in Philadelphia on May 14, 2003, the band sounded tight and thrilling, delivering ‘Drowning Lessons’ with all the ferocity and fervour that defined their early years.

The video was uploaded by YouTube user deadhourse, who ran two audio rigs at the show to make it sound this good. The result is a mix of a microphone setup in the crowd and access to the soundboard.

And camerawork comes from YouTube user spaceyraygun‬.

Check it out, it is amazing.

NINE TREASURES will be touring in support of their Seeking The Absolute full-length, released in December via Metal Blade Records.

Formed by vocalist/guitarist Askhan in 2010 in the autonomous region of Inner Mongolia in China, NINE TREASURES delivers a unique combination of heavy metal and traditional Mongolian instrumentation, utilizing both conventional vocals and Mongolian throat singing. Guitars, bass, and drums collide with indigenous string instruments including the morin khuur (horsehead fiddle), the tovshuur, and the balalaika, resulting in a sonic kaleidoscope that follows no set template. NINE TREASURES moves easily from a straight-up headbanging style to the more atmospheric progressive style. Guitar-wise, Askhan infuses a lot of Mongolian playing techniques and songwriting logic into his playing and is excited for the “fresh blood” it adds to the band’s sound. The quintet’s varied approaches and universal messaging will allow them to tour with any musically progressive band, be it Amon Amarth or Tool.

Playing 100-plus festival shows and headlining gigs per year in Asia, to audiences of up to 50,000, and with four albums to their name, NINE TREASURES are at the top of their proverbial game and ready to conquer the Western world. Seeking The Absolute is their first record for Metal Blade, and first LP to have a worldwide release.

Louder Sound crowned Seeking The Absolute, “one of the most unique and effortlessly enjoyable albums of 2025.” Last Rites concurred noting, “if you pride yourself on being an adventurous music devourer with a particular predilection for all things progressive folk metal, do yourself the considerable favor of checking out NINE TREASURES and the very rewarding, notably spirited Seeking The Absolute.” Added Angry Metal Guy, “NINE TREASURES was always good, but Seeking The Absolute sounds like what the band was always meant to be. Like Pantera with Cowboys From Hell, NINE TREASURES exudes confidence in their transformation, crafting a fun, approachable chunk of metal without compromise to their new vision.”

(written by Islander) We are now about to present a song that’s furious and frightening, a beastly manifestation whose formidable sonic and emotional powers are compulsive at a visceral level. This song, “He Keeps Forgetting“, is the first to be revealed from a new album named Entangled by the Swedish band Since The Death, which […]

Modest Mouse have been playing a ton of live shows lately. At some of those shows, they’ve been playing an unreleased song called “Look How Far…,” which is now officially released and marks Modest Mouse’s first proper single since their 2021 album The Golden Casket. It’s an upbeat, frantic, and somewhat misanthropic anthem about feeling…

A new force is rising in heavy music.

After more than a decade at the forefront of modern metal, internationally acclaimed vocalist Alissa White-Gluz is entering a powerful new chapter with the launch of her new band, BLUE MEDUSA.

Known for her commanding voice, unmistakable stage presence, and trailblazing role in extreme metal, White-Gluz has built a career defined by momentum and reinvention. Widely recognized as one of the longest-serving female death metal vocalists, she has spent two decades performing on the world’s biggest stages and earning a reputation as one of the genre’s most electrifying frontwomen.

White-Gluz was at the forefront of Arch Enemy’s most successful years in the band’s history, expanding their global audience and performing on the world’s biggest metal stages. Across multiple bands, collaborations and projects throughout her career, White-Gluz has consistently helped push heavy music into new territory. Now, with BLUE MEDUSA, White-Gluz sets her sights on pushing that legacy even further.

Fans can expect the same signature ferocity, theatrical energy and vocal firepower that have defined White-Gluz’s career, now unleashed in a fresh, expansive and electrifying setting.

“Blue Medusa is the next evolution of everything I’ve been building toward for years,” says White-Gluz. “It’s my creative melting pot. Everything fans enjoy about the energy, intensity, and performance they’ve always  experienced on stage with me over the past two decades is still here, even stronger. That is me, that is who I am and who I’ve always been. And now it’s amplified and unleashed in a fully sovereign artistic vision. Our music has blazing guitar solos, crushing riffs, brutal vocals, fast and aggressive drums, thoughtful melodies and most importantly (to me), really cogitative lyrics.”

Known for pairing ferocious vocals with thoughtful and introspective lyricism, White-Gluz’s writing channels catharsis, resilience, philosophy and intellectual and emotional depth.

BLUE MEDUSA consists of a trio of world-class musicians; White-Gluz has guitarists Alyssa Day and Dani Sophia at her sides. “The musical chemistry I feel with these women is really bringing me back to life. It is so refreshing and exciting,” says White-Gluz of her fellow gorgons. On stage, on drums and bass, White-Gluz hints that two women at the top of their musical game will be joining her; Delaney Jaster and Alicia Vigil respectively. 

“I specifically chose to share this news on International Women’s Day because building stronger platforms for women in heavy music is something I care deeply about. I am brewing up a lot of ideas right now, my brain is in full creative flow. I’ve been carving my own path in this genre for a long time, and I want to help pave the way for the next generation of women who love metal as much as I do. Medusa turned people to stone… I want to pave the road in sapphire.”

With new music coming very soon and live performances already lining up with the band’s live debuts at Louder Than Life and Aftershock festivals, BLUE MEDUSA is taking off like lightning and marks the beginning of an exciting new era for metal fans.

More details will be announced soon.
