GBHBL's Top 20 Live Performances of 2023

It’s been a fantastic year for live music. So many great shows, and so many great performances that we found it impossible to simply do a top 10. So, we've gone bigger. As is the yearly tradition, here is our top 20 live performances of 2023. Two lists, one chosen by Brendan and the other chosen by Carl.

THECODONTION Releases “The Great Permian-Triassic Extinction Event” Split w/ VESSEL OF INIQUITY

Italian prehistoric death metal duo THECODONTION and English blackened noise enigma VESSEL OF INIQUITY have announced a new split titled The Permian-Triassic Extinction Event, out Sept. 3 via multiple formats. This conceptual split release is about the titular Permian-Triassic extinction event (commonly known as "The Great Dying"), and life emerging anew afterwards. It occurred approximately 251 million years ago and it was the Earth's most severe extinction event, during which almost all of the marine species, terrestrial vertebrates and insects became extinct. Theories for its cause range from meteor impacts, volcanic eruptions and climate change. THECODONTION's side explores two different creatures which lived after that catastrophic occurrence, thus during the Triassic period: Thecodontosarus antiquus was an ancestral relative to sauropods, Procompsognathus triassicus was a small bipedal carnivorous theropod. VESSEL OF INIQUITY's side is sonically destructive, yet it features an evocative and almost poetic description of the inevitable cataclysm that occurred, putting an end to the Permian period and paving the way for new lifeforms during the Triassic. THECODONTION's side was recorded by Guglielmo Nodari (Bedsore) and mixed and mastered by Marco Salluzzo (Bedsore, Deströyer 666), while VESSEL OF INIQUITY's side was conceived, recorded, engineered, mixed and mastered by A. White. After the critically acclaimed debut full-length Supercontinent, THECODONTION is back with two tracks (both spawned during the album's recording sessions), in which the band is at its most experimental and intricate musical point thus far. Atmospheric, melodic leads and blistering solos alternate with crushing riffs and relentless blasting. VESSEL OF INIQUITY's sole member A. White is a master in audial annihilation and ultra-violence in the form of furious drumming and non-stop slab of harsh noise, behind which lies a vortex of sprawling riffs. After two masterpieces such as Vessel of Iniquity and Void of Infinite Horror, this entity is certainly not holding back regarding musical extremity. Calamitous occurrences such as basalt volcanic eruptions and ocean acidification are beautifully depicted with abstract forms on the cover artwork by Italian artist STRX. The Permian-Triassic Extinction Event will be released Sept. 3 on CD via I, Voidhanger Records, cassette (US) via Dead Red Queen Records and cassette (Taiwan) via Bad Moon Rising. THECODONTION is: G.E.F. – vocals (track 2), songwriting G.D. – bass, lyrics, arrangements Session members on The Permian-Triassic Extinction Event: V.P. – drums Skaðvaldur – vocals (track 1) VESSEL OF INIQUITY is: A.

Album Review: @Nahayaofficial – Vital Alchemy @RockshotsRecords – @gbhbl Games, Brrraaains & A Head-Banging Life “While focused on the heavier thrash/death end of the metal spectrum, there’s no denying that Vital Alchemy has more to it. Groove, melody and some unusual ideas here and there makes it a very interesting release.”

GBHBL's Top 20 Live Performances of 2024

Gigs, gigs, and more gigs! It has been a mighty fine year overall. Which is where this list comes in. These are our favourite live performances of the year.

Gigs, gigs, and more gigs! We had a bloody full year (between us) seeing bands, and not just in London either. This year we’ve travelled all over and seen many great bands performing live. From being smothered in a blanket of black metal to having our heads crushed by savage death metal. From suffering legitimate hearing problems due to the sheer heaviness of a group of bands to singing our…

GBHBL's Top 10 Games of 2023

This top ten is based entirely on the games we’ve played only and that were released this year on the respective consoles we play. These are our top ten games of 2023.

Making a list of top ten games we’ve played in 2023 is always daunting, not just because of personal enjoyment, but because we simply don’t have enough time to play everything. There have been many games released this year, where the consensus is that they’re brilliant, but we just haven’t gotten around to playing them. We will, eventually. So, this top ten is based entirely on the games we’ve…
