Returning for their first visit in three years for a short run of dates in England and Ireland, teutonic thrash titans Kreator were promoting their ‘Phantom Antichrist’ album complete with a 3D stage show and a high profile supporting cast. Jim Rowland dons the two colour glasses (or maybe not) to enjoy a night of metal thrashing madness live in England’s capitol city.

It’s been a three year wait since their last album ‘No Guts, No Glory’ but this month Australian meat and two veg rockers Airbourne finally return with their third record and with one eye on a shot at mainstream success with Brian Howes behind the desk. Johnny H is our man hoping to once again get some dirty deeds done dirt cheap from the dudes from down under, but it would appear all he gets is some back seat rock ‘n’ roll instead. Click the link to find out just what it is H Bombz is barking on about now.

Having released their seventh studio album back in December 2012, The Wonder Stuff certainly made a huge impression on long term fan Dave Prince with 'Oh No it's...The Wonder Stuff', so much so in fact that when he caught the band live in Port Talbot recently our man with a plan cornered the band’s frontman and mouthpiece Miles Hunt for a long overdue chat.

Bloodlights, the 'new' band from Captain Poon, former guitarist with uber-faves Gluecifer, return with their third release, 'Stand Or Die'. That 'Uber Approved' stamp should give you a clue as to what the bionic bad boy of Uber Rock, Dom Daley, thinks of this hot new release from the always cool People Like You Records. Hit that link and read all about one of the year's finest releases.....

Five years after Goldblade went a bit piratey on us with their ‘Mutiny’ album, they return with studio album number six ‘The Terror Of Modern Life’. Long time fan of the band Johnny H laces up his creepers ready for a good dance and instead finds a much darker sound than he could ever have expected, so read on to find out exactly what it is that the modern world has gone and done to Manchester’s finest band of brothers.

Cramming three reviews into one, Dave Prince takes the opportunity to trace the career of blues influenced hard rockers Burning Rain from their ‘Self Titled’ debut right up to their all new opus ‘Epic Obsession’. Burning who? I hear you ask, well as Princey soon explains there is much more to this band than simply having Whitesnake six string slinger Doug Aldrich within their ranks that’s for sure.

"Like the original Alice Cooper Band jamming with Black Sabbath and the Stooges?" Oh yeah, we need to hear this album. 'Mind Control' from the mysterious Uncle Acid and the Deadbeats is a concept album based on the likes of Charles Manson and Jim Jones, and Uber Rock's Jamie Richards has fallen completely under its spell. Hit that link and introduce this album to the family...just don't drink the Flavor Aid.....

Swedish melodic rockers The Poodles return with album number five, and this time their claiming it’s a musical ‘Tour De Force’. We asked Dave Prince to put this claim to the test and see if it ranks up their with the very best from his extensive Gotthard, Fate and Treat CD collection and this is what he came back with.

With their second album ‘Love Triangles, Hate Squares’ Exeter punkers The Computers have taken the bold step of moving away from their shouty roots to reinvent themselves as bluesy punk rock soul boys with an edge. Think the ‘RFTC’ album as opposed to ‘Drive Like Jehu’ and you’ll start to understand what this actually means as Dom Daley picks up the story of the musical transformation of the year

He's played with Dio, auditioned for KISS, and helped give Whitesnake's David Coverdale back his mojo - now guitarist Doug Aldrich is about to release a new album from his own band, Burning Rain, via Frontiers Records. Kim Thore, our US-based uber-vixen, caught up with Doug and asked him everything you ever wanted to know! Another must-read interview from Uber Rock!

With Riot|Noise getting ready to release their long awaited debut album ‘Stand For Something’ on June 3^rd, we thought a Midnite Mixtape Massacre showcasing some of the songs that help influence and shape the band’s sound would be the perfect follow up to our recent track by track exclusive feature. Picking the tunes this time around is Riot|Noise frontman Marty Hughes.

Episode 11 of The Uber Rock Radio Show oozed out of the BRfm studio and into the ether like a big blob of awesome. Wanna know about Tony Iommi's Swiss Army Knife fingers? Not meeting Terry Chimes? Which UR radio star fell asleep while watching Babestation and got caught? Then hit that link for listen again links.....

During the month of April, Uber Rock was proud to put our name to a series of five tour dates put together to promote what we like to call “the real rock ‘n’ roll underground”. The tour featured two very like minded (if not like sounding) bands, namely Northern lights of the UK sludge scene Goat Leaf and London post metal troop Zodiac N Black. Adding a local support in each town and city they visited. This was a must attend show for us, especially when they visited URHQ’s hometown on the fourth date. Click the link to find out what chaos ensued. 

Brian James roping in a slew of cool rock 'n' roll chums and rerecording tunes from the back catalogue of The Damned? That's gotta raise a few eyebrows, right? Uber Rock's Dom Daley tries his best to ignore the knockers - there's a joke there somewhere, I just know it - and enjoy 'Damned If I Do' for what it really is; a legendary guitarist having some fun with some of the finest tunes known to humanity....

Star & Dagger arrived on UK shores for a short, seven-date tour and Uber Rock just had to be there to witness it. Why? Well, when a band features members of Queens of the Stone Age, Eagles of Death Metal, Cycle Sluts From Hell and "the girl from White Zombie" you'd be a fool to miss out. Gaz E knew this tour would be cool, he just didn't realise how cool......

The Urban Voodoo Machine celebrate their tenth anniversary with the release of 'Rare Gumbo', a compilation album collecting tracks from the band's rare first three EPs, b-sides and more, making for a mammoth twenty-two track beast of a record! Uber Rock's Ben Hughes tells us why this isn't just a great jumping-on point for new fans, but also essential for already clued-in followers.....
