Metal Up Your Ass! (Column)
The Misfits are looking to teach the young and old once again what B-movie inspired horror-punk is all about
| 13 Sep 2006
Good day, and welcome to The Skinny's special place for all things metal throughout Edinburgh and Glasgow.
This September sees Scouse Goth-types Anathema take to The Cathouse on Tuesday the 12th. The 90s doom demons are more apt to flash a serene, ambient sound these days and, hot on the back of a tour supporting HIM, expect more Radiohead or Pink Floyd than Paradise Lost or My Dying Bride.
Edinburgh's spiritual home of all things heavy welcomes Breed 77 two days later on Thursday the 14th. Dishing out melodic metal, sans the heinous insincerity and plus spells of flamenco guitar, it's bonus time Gibraltar-style for metalcore fans. Preening Canadian Emo-Punks Billy Talent have a quick-fire return to Glasgow at ABC on Friday 15th and it's red-eye-shadow-ahoy for Atreyu along with their trusty Alaskan Roadrunner stable boys 36 Crazyfists on Saturday 16th at the Barrowlands: best brush up on those kung fu dance moves. If laden slabs of Norwegian Black Metal is what gets your head a-bangin' then get down and check out Satyricon at The Cathouse on Tuesday 19th September as they tour in support of their sumptuously titled 'Now, Diabolical' album. Keeping it strictly Scandic, Soilwork create the noise of Gothenburg's celebrated melodic metal scene for your delectation, again at the Catty on Friday 22nd.
Finally The Misfits (still shy one Glenn Danzig) hit the Edinburgh Liquid Room on Sunday 24th looking to teach the young and old once again what B-movie inspired horror-punk is all about. Enjoy, kids.
