Live Review : Eternal Champion + Frozen In Shadows + Asylum City Zoo @ Rebellion, Manchester on June 1st 2022

It is times like these that make you realise what a tight knit community we have. You see, Eternal Champion were in rather a bind. Their appearance at Manorfest was meant to be a UK exclusive and they were flying over from the States especially for it. In fact, they were literally on the tarmac when news of Manorfest’s postponement came through. So, they found themselves in the UK all dressed up but with no place to go. Metal being metal, various promoters (including Damnation festival’s very own Gavin and Manchester's Tapestry Promotions) immediately rallied round the band and miraculously managed to pull together a last-minute UK tour. So here we are at Rebellion on Wednesday night for a show that didn't exist seven days ago.

Live Review : Fleshgod Apocalypse + Bloodshot Dawn + Frozen In Shadows + BruteAllies @ Rebellion, Manchester on February 16th 2020

There is a carnival atmosphere in Rebellion tonight. In fact, there is an actual birthday party going on complete with paper hats and badges. The Birthday boy with intent is celebrating the anniversary of his arrival on this planet in style and spends more time on stage than most of the bands. The upbeat playful atmosphere is also because the first half of the undercard is a distinctly Manc affair.BruteAllies and Frozen in Shadows have brought all their friends and families along to join in the fun. It may be 7pm on a Sunday but the place is packed from the off and pits start from the moment that the first note is blasted out.
