News: THE ALMIGHTY Powertrippin' 2CD 26 February 2021
“We were on tour in Germany opening for Iron Maiden when Powertrippin’ crashed into the UK National Chart at #5. The Maiden boys held a party for us that night in their hotel to celebrate. We suddenly felt very validated, looking back I think we were" - Ricky Warwick.
Although initially inspired by punk, when Scottish school friends Stump Monroe (drums), Floyd London (bass) and Ricky Warwick (guitar, vocals) joined forces with guitarist Tantrum in 1988, they chose a harder rocking, heavy metal sound. Snapped up by Polydor Records for 1989 debut “Blood, Fire & Love”, their more punk infused aggressive approach was a welcome relief from the glam orientated sounds imported from across the Atlantic. This was followed by “Soul Destruction” in 1991, and then “Powertrippin’” in 1993.

RELEASED 29TH JANUARY - APF RECORDS LISTEN TO NEW TRACK ’THROUGH THE PERISCOPE OF THE DEADLY SUB
Hailing from Manchester, UK, Barbarian Hermit released their most recent album 'Solitude and Savagery’ in 2018 on APF Records. Playing a heady mix of downtuned, fuzz-laden guitars they kicked out some of the raunchiest riffs in rock over elephantine grooves, the band created a sound that is as irresistibly catchy as it is crushingly heavy.
Working with the legendary Chris Fielding at Skyhammer Studios, Barbarian Hermit’s 'Solitude and Savagery' bared seven bruising tracks of pummelling groove metal that smouldered with swampy rawness and feral energy.
