Album Reviews

  • Cannibal Corpse – A Skeletal Domain

    It’s hard to pin point exactly what makes something “good.” While you can personally say “I like this or that aspect,” you’re usually explaining what you like, not why you like it. Or why you like why you like...

  • Earth Rot – Follow The Black Smoke

    Perth’s very own Earth Rot are one band that you need to keep a close ear and eye on because they are like an unstoppable force, of Black Smoke shall we say? Releasing their first EP earlier this year...

  • Defamer – Monolith of Filth

    I will always have a soft spot for Brisbane death metallers Defamer, as they were one of the first local live bands I got to experience. I remember going to Rosies in Brisbane for the first time many moons...

  • Fat Guy Wears Mystic Wolf Shirt / Jxckxlz – Split EP

    I like this genre of music quite a bit, and so it’s always nice to be introduced to bands not yet at the Chariot/Norma Jean/Dillinger level. I think it’s good to keep in mind that bands don’t just burst...

  • Dot The Eyes – Eden’s Brigade EP

    This is probably the first time I’ve really had problems with figuring out what to write in a review. Anyway, I suppose I should start with the basics. Dot The Eyes are a band from Melbourne. They formed in...

    I’m not sure if I just don’t know enough about this genre (whatever genre this happens to be), or if there really aren’t that many bands that do heavy music quite like this, but in my limited experience, The...

  • Wolf – Devil Seed

    Sweden’s Wolf are the metal band equivalent of your local pub, nothing excited or special, but you are guaranteed a good time. Having only listened to them on and off through the years, I have never actually sat down...

  • Hadal Maw – Senium

    It took me a couple of listens to appreciate Senium, but I’m really (begrudgingly) glad that I stuck with it. This is Australia’s answer to Necrophagist. And while I’m sure a number of die-hard Necrophagist fans will tell me...

  • Shrapnel – The Virus Conspires

    Shrapnel is a band from Norwich, England and they play thrash metal. They released their debut EP in 2009 and their self-financed follow-up The Devastation To Come EP in 2010. Now, in 2014, they’ve released their debut album backed...

  • Troldhaugen – Obzkure Anekdotez For Maniakal Massez

    I know everyone who has heard and seen this band will agree with me when I say they truly are one in a friggin’ billion. There’s not many (or any) that can do what the crazy, fun-loving Troldhaugen can...
