AMDBL, Norse, Aeon of Horus, Apparitions of Null @ Reverence Hotel, Melbourne 06/07/2014

Earth, Magic Mountain Band, Bonnie Mercer @ Hifi, Melbourne 21/06/2014

Coroner, Contrive, Killrazer and Hellbringer @ The Hi-Fi, Melbourne 05/06/2014

Nobody would have believed that in the opening years of the 21st Century that thrash demigods Coroner had not, to date, toured Australia. However a date with destiny was marked, and at last, long-awaiting fans would have the chance...

The Morgue Presents ‘Metal Asylum #3′ @ The Bendigo, Melbourne 07/06/2014

Taking place at the Bendigo Hotel, and hosted by Chris Ward of The Morgue radio show, this year’s Metal Asylum #3 was certainly quite an experience. There were many firsts for me that night. Aside from headliners Orpheus Omega...
