Album Reviews

  • Apocalyptica – Shadowmaker

    Apocalyptica might still be mostly known for their early years Metallica covers, especially in this part of the world. The fact is though that their catalogue is so extensive and diverse that ­­I really urge people to not just...

  • In Hearts Wake – Skydancer

    Post-hardcore is pretty much the ivy of the metal world; it permeates every crack and orifice it comes across, and no matter how hard you to try to stem the tide, it continues tenaciously grasping to existence. And really,...

  • Arcane – Known/Learned

    Crowd funding is a touchy subject when it comes to music. Obviously many bands in the metal scene often cannot sustain themselves from deals within record companies and must maintain grueling touring schedules to keep their heads above water....

  • Hybrid Nightmares – The Second Age

    I see now. The First Age achieved a sense of being on the verge of coming together musically, to create something new. It also hinted at a story. I love a good story so, if you will, let me...

  • Theories – Regression

    Death grind is one of those genres in which fusion is done right, kind of like Gogeta. Instead of taking the mediocre aspects of the two genres and milking them for commercial success like most generic deathcore bands, death...

  • Space Bong – In Doom We Crust

    It has been six long years since Adelaide’s Space Bong released what is possibly one of the finest pieces of Australian doom, their debut full length The Death of Utopia. This year, finally, after “many years of rehab, isolation...

  • George Kollias – Invictus

    I’ll be honest; I was super hyped for this album. I came into this feeling about as giddy as a pre-teen freckled redhead with braces at a one second of direction concert (did I say that right?). George Kollias...
