Album Reviews

Recommended Aussie Tunes:Psycroptic | The new single "A Fragile Existence" | Listen

Shrapnel – Hellbound

Fast, ferocious thrash out of Perth with the energy of the 80's classics. 9/10

The Ocean – Heliocentric

Uninspiring and insipid with barely a hint of sludge; The Ocean go prog rock. 5/10

Sodom's masterpiece gets a slight digital tweak. 9/10

Woe of Tyrants – Threnody

A melodic death metal album with heaps of great tunes, but far too many sub-drops. 7.5/10
- Posted 16 years ago
Bonded By Blood – Exiled To Earth

A relatively dull, uninspiring attempt at emulating the thrash classics. 6/10

Rhapsody of Fire – The Frozen Tears of Angels

While it might not grab any new fans, the Italians have delivered a record full of soaring vocals and vast musical landscapes. 7.5/10
- Posted 16 years ago
Sabaton – Coat of Arms

The Swedish power metal battalion are back with a new batch of fist pumping power metal anthems. 8.5/10

Disturbed – The Sickness (10th Anniversary Limited Edition)

Disturbed's debut album gets a minor face lift, but is not worth the price tag. 6.5/10

Terra Australis – Anthem for a Dying Angel

Driving Black Metal riffs, bludgeoning blast beats, and ominous angst filled lyrical concepts sum up the Black Metal genre.
