Headfirst Editor's Pick
"Sell out warning! The Aussie egg punk empire just got a heck load eggier with this side-quest from chainmail-clad heavy metal helium honkers STERÖID. With Stone Barrow’s eldritch dungeon Oi, the sugar rush is on FFO: Gee Tee, Iron Maiden, Poison Ruïn, Alvin and the Chipmunks – never thought we’d lump those together but hey, this is something else."

DESOLATOR- Southampton based 3 piece speed-metal since 2011. Intense, discordant and impressive. Not to be misseed.

STONE BARROW- Stone Barrow's S/T full length came out in May 2025, via the label, and demonstrated a lo-fi approach to power-metal- juxtapositioned with oi!, folk sounds, synth sounds- and a weird historical use of sampling and sound-scaping depicting the iron ages, war, and the West Country. This show is their live debut, and only planned show for the future.
FFO: Battle Ruins, Visigoth, Michael Moorcock (the author).
