Album Reviews

  • Super Fun Happy Slide – Drop Your Pants & Grind

    Super Fun Happy Slide are like the smart kid that never applied himself. They’ve got all the potential, all of the innate talent and learned skill, and none of the fucking drive to do anything other than disrupt the class...

  • Blues Pills – Blues Pills

    Alright, here’s the deal. I don’t really know where or how to start this review, because this is something special and quite unique. Before I asked Metal Obsession to review this album, I had never really listened to any...

    The Autumn League hails from Sydney and they are playing a mix of death and black metal. The vocals remind me a bit of Mikael Åkerfeldt himself. Think Opeth and Bloodbath chucked into a blender and you’re pretty close...

  • Athenas Wake – Contemplation

    Athenas Wake is a band from Geelong. Formed in 2010, they play a grand, evil and fairly interesting mix of technical death metal and atmospheric black metal. The Contemplation EP was released in June and it contains four tracks....

  • Voros – The Sky Burial EP’s

    Just because you don’t know what to call it doesn’t mean you can’t like it. I think modern day metalheads will look back on the current proliferation of sub-genres the same way celebrities look back on their hair cuts...

  • Eluveitie – Origins

    Eluveitie are everything to me. Dramatic as it may sound, this band can do absolutely no wrong in my eyes (or ears as the case may be), and that has just been further proven with the release of their...

  • Fozzy – Do You Wanna Start A War

    “Do You Wanna Start A War?” by Fozzy is playing in my room through my Alesis monitors. The sound is abrasive, piercing, and cheesy. Either my ears are ringing, or Chris “Y2J” Jericho is slamming me with an aural...
