Samhain, the ancient Gael­ic fes­ti­val, marks the end of the Celtic year, it’s a time when ‘the veil between the super­nat­ur­al and the physical…

Review: Scaler album ‘Endlessly’

Scaler (for­mer­ly Scalp­ing) have part­ly built their rep­u­ta­tion on intense and immer­sive per­for­mances and while noth­ing could have pre­pared me for that first expe­ri­ence of see­ing them live, I’ve con­tin­ued to be blown away by their raw vis­cer­al ener­gy.
