BLACK TALON, LEGENDS, EDINBURGH, MAY 10 2025

Edinburgh thrash legends return with a new album. And an Album Release Show. This show.

Line-up:

LUXERA: Up'n'coming youngsters doing the classic thrash thing, and doing it rather well.

EXDESTRIER: Blackened sludge trio. There's no video for this one, because the song I captured turned out to be an unfinished new song, and they asked me not to post it. It was a good song, but you'll have to take my word for it.

DISPOSABLE: Edinburgh's other long-serving thrash metal band, now operating as a three-piece.

BLACK TALON: Edinburgh's premier thrash metal band, back after some time away with a new album, 'SCENES OF AGONY' which they are unleashing here tonight. Featuring a guest appearance of guitarist Guillaume Martin of BARSHASKETH, who had to learn the whole set at very short notice. Did OK.

PSYCHLONA: Driving desert rock. I genuinely thought these guys were American when I heard their record. They're not. They're from Yorkshire.

And that's as far as I got. I missed ASCENSION and headliners CHURCH OF THE COSMIC SKULL because I was tired and broken and needed to sleep. I am very old.
