Album Reviews

  • Twitching Tongues – World War LIVE

    I’ve never heard, or even heard of, Twitching Tongues before, so please forgive me (I don’t give a shit) if I’m breaking a cardinal rule about liking them after they sold out, or if I didn’t realize they’re no...

  • Suicide Silence – You Can’t Stop Me

    Suicide Silence was never a band that I gave an ear or very much importance to. I had heard a few songs here and there but that was about it. When their vocalist Mitch Lucker sadly passed away in...

  • Eyehategod – Eyehategod

    The incumbent kings of drug addled sludge metal are back with a self titled album, fourteen long years after their last full length ‘Confederacy of Ruined Lives’ back in 2000. Eyehategod has been through a hell of a lot...

  • Conscious Control – Feed the Machine

    Whenever I’m asked to listen to new metalcore I’m usually a bit apprehensive at first. There’s a lot of stuff out there that to be fair is quite mediocre. I was therefore pleasantly surprised when the intro of Apex,...

  • Judas Priest – Redeemer of Souls

    I’ve heard some people label this album ‘generic’. Redeemer of Souls is generic heavy metal in the same sense that Star Wars is generic Sci-Fi. When you’ve been at this for as long as Judas Priest have, and are...

  • Darker Half – Never Surrender

    Darker Half are on the rise and are a breath of fresh air in the current Australia metal scene with its heavy focus on death metal (not that this is necessarily a bad thing). There are sources categorizing the...

  • Marty Friedman – Inferno

    Music is a wonderful thing, wouldn’t you agree? The right rhythm and melody can fill your mind with the most surreal and craziest of images; it is a catalyst for the imagination to take flight in extravagant fancy. No...

  • Grave Digger – Return Of The Reaper

    German heavy metallers Grave Digger are, we’re all thinking it, UNSTOPPABLE. 2014 has seen some pretty awesome albums being released, including the 17th by this five piece outfit, hailing from Gladbeck, Germany. The follow up to their 2012 release...

  • Lacuna Coil – Broken Crown Halo

    I’ve been a fan of Lacuna Coil for some time. Admittedly they’re a little bit of a guilty pleasure. Their music of late is quite basic, commercialised, and lyrically disappointing (though English is their 2nd language so I can...

  • Dead City Ruins – Dead City Ruins

    Dead City Ruins; if you do not already know the name, you soon will.  The Melbourne-bred five-piece’s recently released self-titled sophomore full-length album is, in short, an example of hard rock-meets-metal mastery.   From the kick-drum count-in until its...
