Live Review : Amorphis + Eluveitie + Dark Tranquility + Nailed To Obscurity @ O2 Ritz, Manchester on November 24th 2022

Fittingly for these austere times, this is a distinctly wallet-friendly four-band bonanza of a package tour. There are no fillers or loose ends here. Each artist is already an established force of nature with their own well-cultivated fan base. Whilst the Ritz is never heaving, there is a highly respectable amount of people packed into the place from the get-go. Nailed to Obscurity may have drawn the short straw in terms of start times (6 PM is rather early in most people's books) but they are rewarded with a highly enthusiastic reception and turnout.

Live Review : Dark Tranquility + Ensiferum + Nailed To Obscurity + Brunhilde @ Academy Club, Manchester on April 7th 2022

Another day, another quite astounding metal package tour. Anyone would think that live music got canned for two whole years and that bands are busy trying to make up for lost time? A stacked bill means an early start time and those early doors means that we supposedly miss Brunhilde, then we later learn so did everybody as they don’t show.
