https://klofmag.com/2024/05/review-nev-clay-so-little-happened-for-so-long/

The Burning Hell were so impressed by Nev Clay, one of Newcastle’s best-kept secrets, that Mathias Kom asked to review Nev’s new album, ‘So Little Happened for So Long’ – “It’s my record of the year”.

18/05/2024

Nev Clay has put his new album," so little happened for so long" up on the you tubes.
Was a pleasure to help him make.
CD'S available and vinyl in a bit ,details on how to order in you tube description.

At long last, 23 years after the last one, my new "solo" album, featuring a good throng of local and national luminaries. Out now to pre-order on Prancey Dog...

Mega new Plague Rider ,Transcending obscurity
CD. Photo doesn't do it justice

14/12/2023

Been working on and off for this past year on Mr Nev Clays single that turned into an LP ..
Think we're almost done look out for it at your local phonograph store soonish.
Been a pleasure and a laugh.

As usual, we are closed between christmas and the new year. BUT we are open the 28th, and briefly on the 29th, for rehearsals only, so you can give yourself that christmas present you really wanted, which is to play music with your bandmates. Isn't it?

04/12/2023

Sorry, price rises on the cards from 2024, aren't they all? Rehearsal rate goes to £15 an hour, recording to £30. Still the best, and maybe the cheapest, but still definitely the best

4 Dafties having a right laugh. Plague Rider new album review loads of words

Anthems to Absurdity It is a not too uncommon tendency in metal for a band’s origins and their current style to be two very different things. Whether it is Gorguts, Blind Guardian, Voivod, The Chas…
