Album Reviews

  • Silent Knight – Conquer & Command

    Opening with a beautifully melodic guitar overture in “Call to Arms”, before long we hit full thrust with the title track, in an album that only seems to grow stronger with each new song that follows. Perth’s Silent Knight...

  • Teramaze – Her Halo

    This album would definitely have to be one of my most eagerly awaited releases for 2015. I guess one of the reasons for that is the the somewhat patriotic feel I feel towards the flourishing metal output of my...

  • Kylesa – Exhausting Fire

    Back with their 7th full length release, 3 piece (plus live stage performers) Kylesa again bring boundaries a little closer while pushing norms further back with their new album Exhausting fire. Haunting at times but equally comforting at others, the...

  • The Black Dahlia Murder – Abysmal

    As a diehard The Black Dahlia Murder fan, I was eager to get my hands on their latest offering, Abysmal. I hadn’t given as much attention to Everblack as perhaps I should have, so this was my chance to sink...

  • Fuck The Fitzroy Doom Scene – Facing The Ruin

    Let’s start off by saying that Fuck the Fitzroy Doom Scene are not your normal run of the mill Stoner Rock band. Well, they are, but theyre also a touch more than that which is evident on their debut...

  • Voros – Diseased Deity

    Diseased Deity by Adelaide’s Voros has a great many influences that I wasn’t expected to be chucked together in such a way as this. Don’t get me wrong, there are plenty of death/thrash/groove metal bands out there, but this seems...

  • Earthside – A Dream In Static

    Discovering new music is always a great feeling. Especially (at least to me) when you’re discovering a new band that not many people have heard yet. Back in early May my life took a change for the better when...

  • Broozer – II

    The riff is strong with this one. With the majority of sludge metal albums I’ve been exposed to being more on the stoner metal, psychedelic side, it’s awesome to hear an Aussie band taking it back to the simplicity...
