Or The World’s End, as they’re trying to make everyone call it. It looks rather good doesn’t it? Are those the aliens from Invasion Of The Body Snatchers? And is that a tripod from War Of The Worlds? Who fucking knows?!
Last night we went to see the most successful British metal band in years tear Camden a new one at a sold-out KOKO show. We’ve been psyched about this show since it was announced and it did not disappoint. Here’s a taster of what went down…
Crossfaith are the perfect support band to get the crowd moving and start circle pits at any moment.
You also can’t keep them out of the crowd, even during Bring Me The Horizon‘s set they were running out and jumping off stage – show-offs.
Oli Sykes is more northern than you.
The new songs sound ABSOLUTELY FUCKING HUGE. The House Of Wolves and Sleepwalking rousing a deafening responses from the sweaty-pitted crowd.
There ain’t no pit like a Bring Me pit.
It’s hard to please Oli Sykes with a wall of death as we “weren’t doing it right” and restarted from the barrier all the way to the sound desk. Ouch.
If you want to see chaos and flailing limbs then play a 14+ show – there’s a lot of kids not at school today thanks to broken bodies.
BMTH have left their older material behind with the entire set drawing from Sempiternal, There Is A Hell… and Suicide Season.
One guy screamed for more songs from the first album… to no avail.
We were SO right to put Oli on the cover of FRONT 181.
If you missed out on this tour then take a good hard look at yourself and hand in your metal card at the door. We’re already getting ourselves ready for their main stage show at Reading/Leeds this summer. Those fair-weather festival-goers are going to shit themselves.
Unfortunately, movie monster legend Ray Harryhausen has just passed away. He was a genre pioneer and created some of the most famous stop-motion creatures in cinematic history, from his first solo effort, The Beast From 20,000 Fathoms, to his work on the classic myth and legend epics Clash Of The Titans and Jason And The Argonauts.
Without Ray Harryhausen, we wouldn’t have Jurassic Park, Lord Of The Rings, the upcoming Pacific Rim – his influence is staggering. It’s a sad day for movie fans, so make yourself feel a little better by watching the video above – it’s a compilation of all his creations in chronological order.

Above is the new Wolverine trailer, but some enterprising young fella (someone at Filmdrunk) has replaced Wolverine’s ‘snickt’ claw sound effects with something far more suitable.
