Lord Volture 2014
Dutch heavy metallers LORD VOLTURE to release a new video podcast with footage of promo photos they took in September 2013 at a very special location of Westerbork in the northern parts of the Netherlands. The video can be viewed below.



It is a place with lots of history. During World War II the area served as a deportation camp. Nowadays the camp doesn't exist anymore, but a museum and a monument in memory of the people who suffered and died in the Westerbork transit camp remain.
Skinlab are back with a vengeance, dropping the punishing new music video for their latest single, “Flesh Wounds”…...
FURYON headliner day two of Les-Fest and Cack Blabbath's take on affairs. Rather good I say :)


Furyon have played pretty much all of the major UK festivals, so I suppose it was fitting that they added Scotland’s only rock and metal 3-day festival to that roll of honour.







Furyon are now well established as a headline band, and this was a fitting way to end another brilliant day of Music at Les-Fest 2.
