We shared freshly made hot donuts with Voodoo Six. We had lollipops with Sean Hughes. We had a slight accident with our photographer not realising that disposable barbques come in a box made from cardboard until after she lit it! What did you do?

Bloodstock, full of metal, mayhem and this year, mud. We were rained on, we drank too much jager and GWAR’s Hitler came on our photographer’s face when she was shooting from the pit. All in all everything a British metal festival should be. Were you there with your trousers down? […]

If you ever prodded a black-gloved finger into the murky world of the UK goth scene during the mid-nineties, chances are you’ll already know the name 13 Candles. Their sinister music and vampiric aesthetic was an acknowledged influence on a fledging Cradle Of Filth, while their albums on Nightbreed and […]

Tell us about how the band got together… Aeon of Horus was started in mid-2006 by our drummer, Ben Hocking. The driving force behind the band’s formation was a desiretochallenge ourselves as musicians, both creatively and technically. We had each played in a number of bands prior to Aeon of […]
