Heavyweight Metal bruisers, DevilDriver, will be tearing The O2 Academy Bournemouth a new one, in November. Renowned for their all-out, high-powered live shows, we can certainly expect a killer evening of accelerated Melodic Groove Metal, delivered with brutal intent.

This was originally going to be a classic album review of Rainbow’s Rising. But having found out that the lead vocalist of that outstanding opus, Ronnie James Dio, has lost his battle with Cancer; I feel that an article in praise of the great man would be more fitting.

You have to feel for Chickenhawk tonight, second band on four-band bill and unbeknownst to them, the venue down the road has two popular local bands on, with free entry. Still, although the punters are thin on the ground, this outfit comes out swinging.

I would expect that a lot of folks went to the O2 to see Europe and hear the song that catapulted them to stardom, The Final Countdown.

AC/DC’s Back In Black is the second biggest selling album in the world, coming in just behind Michael Jacksons Thriller. So that makes it the biggest selling ROCK album ever and it’s still selling now. Thirty years later and sounds just as good.
