Album Reviews

  • Wednesday 13 – Condolences

    Wednesday 13 (Joseph Poole) has always been a fan of the macabre and the theatrical. Taking his moniker from two of his favourite TV shows – Wednesday from The Addams Family & 13 from the street address of The...

  • Dead Letter Circus – The Endless Mile

    Releasing an album of stripped back, ‘unplugged’ versions of your own pre-existing tunes can be a bit of a slippery slope, and previous efforts from other bands have been a little hit and miss. But Brissie’s favourite progressive rock...

  • In Hearts Wake – Ark

    I have seen ‘trends’ in heavy music, that the so-called ‘true’ metalheads have dismissed as being ‘flashes in the pan’, go from strength to strength and very much take their place as major ongoing staples of the worldwide heavy...

  • Voyager – Ghost Mile

    Perth’s Voyager were a band that very much forged their own distinctive musical path for the first decade plus of their career, and they put out marvellous, sumptuous progressive and power-tinged melodic metal. Something happened on their last record,...

  • Uneven Structure – La Partition

    Sometimes when you’re forced to wait for something you badly want, the finished product gets built up way too much in your mind and ultimately doesn’t measure up, and you wind up a little disappointed. This is absolutely and...

  • Branch Arterial – Beyond the Border

    Firstly, and without going into great detail, this Melbourne five-piece has gone through tremendous personal hardship over the last few years. The fact that they have managed to finish their debut at all is worthy of much kudos. That...

  • The Furor – Cavalries of the Occult

    The Furor is extreme metal at its most extreme – a molten inferno of Black, Death and Thrash metal anchored by the mind blowing drumming and ungodly vocals of band mastermind and principal song writer Dizazter (Louis Rando from...

  • Depravity – Reign Of The Depraved

    West Australian Death Metal Juggernaut Depravity have just made their debut EP, Reign of the Depraved available for free download via their bandcamp page. On the surface this generous offer might seem a little strange. But with the recording for their highly anticipated...
