  • The Eternal – When The Circle of Light Begins to Fade

    The Eternal have been stalwarts of the Melbourne (and Australia in general) music scene. Over their 10-year history this is a band that has never been afraid to push the envelope on each of their releases and have used...

  • Quiet Child – The Coming Storm

    If you’re like me, a really good film has to have a degree of unpredictability. Not all over the place so it doesn’t make sense, but where you don’t spend the whole time waiting for the ending you know...

  • DeathFuckingCunt – Ungodly Violation

    DeathFuckingCunt; the name of this band alone is about as subtle as a sledgehammer to the face and their blend of brutal, yet technical death metal in the vein of Dying Fetus, Cannibal Corpse and Necrophagist has about the...

  • Dream On, Dreamer – Loveless

    After the recent, unforeseen break up of House Vs. Hurricane, it’s not farfetched for Dream on Dreamer to claim the position of Melbourne’s hardcore homegrown heroes after the recent release of their official sophomore effort Loveless. Yet, without anything...

  • Amon Amarth – Deceiver of the Gods

    Amon Amarth is back! It’s still surreal to think it’s already been two years since the band released Surtur Rising. Marking the 20th anniversary of their 1993 demo Thor Arise, and the 15th anniversary of their debut full-length Once Sent...
