Album Reviews

  • Wintersun – The Forest Seasons

    Jari Mäenpää has never been one without controversy, and amidst the constant speculations of when we would ever hear Wintersun’s infamous ‘Time II’, Jari was off cooking something entirely different – thus leaving us with ‘The Forest Seasons’. ‘The Forest...

  • Starset – Vessels

    Sometimes you just have to persist. My first impressions of this album were that it was very good, excellent in fact, but possibly a little too much on the ‘accessible’ side of the tracks for my more hard-edged tastes...

  • Papa Roach – Crooked Teeth

    Papa Roach is a hidden gem among the nu metal fans of the 2000s. The industry knows they’re still around and doing well, the scene occasionally knows. But anyone who made a YouTube video of themselves playing CounterStrike in...

  • Solum – Enthrall

    Enthrall is the debut EP from the up and coming Perth act Solum.  If old school style death metal with a bit of a blackened vibe is something that appeals to you then I’d definitely recommend checking out this release. The album...

  • Figures – Chronos
