Live Reviews

In a world where virtual concerts will hopefully be a thing of the past in three months' time, it is difficult to persuade fans that spending money on a virtual gig is worth their time. Insane production and uniqueness to get fans excited is needed in abundance – so do Black Peaks provide that in their live streaming effort?

Sludge-metal outfit Crowbar recently performed their third live stream, which was directed by Mike Holderbeast. The event featured a mixed setlist, including tracks the band rarely play live - find out what we thought about the show here!

Spanning two albums over two days, the recent live streamed shows by Norwegian prog masters Leprous were a great reminder of what concert life was like before the pandemic, while also acting as a first opportunity for many fans to witness the band’s latest album, 'Pitfalls', being played live, in its entirety.

We’re one year into a global pandemic (because one just *has* to strike every century, apparently), and we’ve begun to see more and more online shows. One could say that they’ve become all the rage in the industry, and these guys know it, because aside from being a three-part series, these new livestreams by Silverstein feature a highly outlandish storyline that makes everything truly… 'Out of This World' (*ba-dum-tshh*) - sorry, we couldn’t help it.

AVATAR kicked off their four-part live stream concert series last weekend with the Age of Dreams. Performing their latest album 'Hunter Gatherer' in full alongside some of their biggest hits, the show was complemented by incredible visuals. Find out what we thought of the performance here.

This year August Burns Red went virtual with their annual Christmas Burns Red show, providing the live debut of tracks from their new album 'Guardians'.

Oh, and they live streamed it for everyone to watch. Here’s our review!
