With the festival season well and truly over, and short summery nights turning long and cold, there can be no surer sign that gig season is well and truly underway than a stacked double-headliner tour passing through your town.

I love metal shows being held in Whammy. Death, black, thrash, standard it doesn't matter; it's just something about listening to metal in the blackened underground bowels of St Kevin's that just make it so much sweeter.
