Jon Paul Quantrill (Drums)

Stormbringer first came together in the summer of 2011 After a couple of Sunday afternoon beers between Dom and Ash. Both had just come away from their longterm projects, Deadeye and Nekkrosis respectively, and were looking to embark on a new journey. Dom was also a member of the Viking Skull, who were between tours at this point so it seemed like the perfect time to start on something new. Dom then made the decision to contact Jon Quantrill to see if he would be interested in becoming involved in the new project. After a bit of thought Jon joined the band, followed by Darren McCullagh.

After about a year and with the music for the album already recorded, Stormbringer added the finishing touch to their line-up. Mike Stockley (Ex Narkan, great london band had a song called "Eat Mt Ass") joined the band in the winter of 2012 after a mutual friend said “you have got to check this guy out”. Mike was exactly what the band were looking for, a classic rock voice with a contemporary edge and a lyrical ability that was perfect for the sound the band had created.

Opening with a doom laden instrumental 'MMXIII' what follows is another ten slabs of huge rock anthems, every song is just perfect, superb vocals, great music, some nice guitar solos.

This has a real mature heavy rock quality that few bands have at the moment!

Rating 10/10

For Fans Of : Mercy House, Voodoo Six, Viking Skull.

CATHEDRAL/DEVIL'S BLOOD/UNKLE MATT & VIKING SKULL (CD Mini Reviews)

CATHEDRAL - ANNIVERSARY
First official live album from Doom legends, and a fantastic package to boot!Comprised of two Cd's, the first is 'Back To The Forest' which is a live rendition of the entire 'Forest Of Equilibrium' album.The second disc is 'Fresh Winter' a general concert that has great versions of 'Vampire Sun', 'Hopkins Witchfinder General' to name but 2, but unfortunatley not a version of my all time fave track 'Skullflower'.
Definatley one for fans only but worth the wait.
Rating: 9/10

CATHEDRAL - A New Ice Age EP
Two brand new studio tracks to tie in with their farewell gig and available on good old fashioned vinyl.The A Side is 'Open Mind Surgery' a skuzzy doom rocker with Lee seemingly emulating Johnny Rotten on vocals, its heavy with a simplistic production giving it a great raw feel.The B Side is 'Sabbadaius Sabbatum', a typical Black sabbath copy sounding very much like 'Lord Of This World' with a few new bits thrown in, to be honest its Cathedral and therefore faultless in my opinion!

Rating 10/10
For fans Of: Black Sabbath, Pagan Alter, Pentagram, Blood Island Raiders.

DEVILS BLOOD - THE THOUSANDFOLD EPICENTRE
Dutch occult rockers latest album has been described by the bands guitarist/founder Selim Lemouchi as “The Devil’s Blood are pleased to announce the conception of a new Litter to be cast upon the sacrificial flames of the bull-headed God that resides on the plane of Gehenna. Eleven new children shall pass through His flames to become reborn in Chaos when the eleventh of November comes to pass in this foul year of their lord, two thousand and e...leven. We have taken 11 months to write and two months to record these monsters and to prepare, attach and inscribe the appropriate sigils, ornaments, chimes and bells upon these young-lings before releasing their serpentine malignity upon the world...”

Well what you get is 11 tracks of sixties inspired psychedelic/satanic rock with stunning female vocals blending Jinx dawson with Grace Slick and music as diverse as the pagan folk styles of 'Shocking Blue' to the space rock of 'Hawkwind'.
Frankly a brilliant album, superb production and real care taken with the composition of the music.

Rating 10/10For Fans Of: Coven, Jefferson Airplane, Black Widow, Witchcraft, Ghost, Electric Wizard.

UNKLE MATT WITH VIKING SKULL - HOLD MY PINT
Download only single from the Northampton rock group and featuring Unkle matt from CKY related band Shitbirdz.Its typical Skull stuff with lyrics about booze, birds n metal.Good sing a long chorus with "Hold my pint while i take a big shit honey, if your still there when i get back, then im on to a sure thing", yep another Roddy Stone classic!Cracking guitar solo thrown in for good measure as well.
Rating 10/10For Fans Of: CKY, Blood Island Raiders, Motorhead.

SPACEWASTERS
Garage rock doesnt come much better than this, a set of classics from The Sonics to Dolly Parton via Hank Williams and CCR.
I spoke to the vocalist after their set and he summed the band up perfectly "We're too rockabilly for the punk crowd and too punk for the rockabilly crowd".
They play the kind of audience friendly set that gets people dancing (and earned an encore tonight) and singing.I confess to never have heard of them before, which is a shame, because ive clearly missed out on some good old rock n roll fun !

MOTORCITY DAREDEVILS
Drunken, fucked up blues based heavy rock delivered perfectley.Well thats it for the review :)Okay maybe a bit more, but what can you say a great set of typical late 70's rock drawing on Led Zeppelin and Ac/Dc with songs about girls and booze.Great drumming from Frank of Viking Skull and he sings as well,the guitarist handles the lead vocals sometimes and plays with style and the bassist knocks out some amazing riffs at times reminding me of Lemmy back in the old days.
An impromptu version of Zeppelins Dazed & Confused was thrown in as well.You really have got to see this band if you love classic rock.
