Album Reviews

  • Figures – Figures EP

    I’m a fan of Figures. Not normally how I’d start an objective review of any bands EP, but this band has impressed me straight away, and I can say without question that I bloody love what they do and...

  • Mare Cognitum – Luminiferous Aether

    I don’t know how or when it happened, but at some point, black metal slithered into the lowest basement of “mainstream” and started producing some uncomfortably listenable music. I always took my aversion to black metal as a sign...

  • Opeth – Sorceress

    It’s made very clear from the outset with Sorceress that this will again be an Opeth album that will divide opinion. Continuing in the vein of Heritage and Pale Communion (the band’s two most recent releases), the Swedes have returned with their...

  • Epica – The Holographic Principle

    Already a fan of 2014’s The Quantum Enigma, I was very excited to see what Epica would create next with The Holographic Principle. Continuing the story of The Quantum Enigma with the pursuit of technology and the notion of what-is-reality?,...

  • KING – Reclaim the Darkness

    Reclaim the Darkness is the debut album from KING. The quality of this release is hardly surprising when you consider that the band features members from Blood Duster and Psycroptic, two of Australia’s finest extreme bands. But what is...

  • Sabaton – The Last Stand

    If there’s anything that can be said about today’s power metal scene, it’s that there’s one band dominating stages across world with their epic and unique take on the sub-genre, and that band in question is Sweden’s Sabaton. Since...
