Cattle Decapitation, Revocation, Remains @ Max Watts, Melbourne 20/02/2020

Cattle Decapitation and Revocation is a perfect pairing for one main reason; they’re both bands that somehow continually get better with age and there’s nothing more exciting that seeing a band at their peak (so far). Opening duties fell...

29 Bones, Ocelot Eclipse, Nuremberg Code, Lunar Deity @ Leadbeater Hotel, Melbourne 15/02/20

Message to heavy bands, local and otherwise: book more shows at this venue. It’s killer. I had never been here before, and it’s certainly not the best known band venue in this great musical city, but one look and...

Geoff Tate, Black Majesty & Espionage @ Croxton Hotel, 01/02/2019

What an evening this promises to be. One of the most iconic and storied rock/metal vocalists in history, playing what this humble rock/metal fan and writer considers to be the greatest concept album ever released, and one of the...

Cirrus Crown, Arcane Saints, Terrestrials, Formiles @ The Workers Club, Melbourne, 31/1/2019

The weather app on my phone told me it fleetingly hit 44deg Celsius in Melbourne this day, and it is still steaming when Geelong’s Formiles hits the Workers stage at around 8.30pm. Sweaty gigs are always fun, and this...

Lune, Advocates, Vatic, In Vanity @ Stay Gold, Melbourne, 21/12/2019

Metalcore/post-hardcore is one of those sub-genres that has been bagged mercilessly by the ‘true’ metalheads as being a ‘fad’ and other such nonsense, but is now making them eat their words due to the incredible longevity it has achieved....

Opeth & Circles @ Palais Theatre, Melbourne 13/12/2019

Images: Cameron StewartWords: Mitch Booth When Circles were announced as the opening band it seemed like a bit of an odd choice. Sure Opeth has gone prog but it’s a very different vein. In hindsight, however, after seeing how...

Glass Ocean, Opus of a Machine, Phambam, Little Rituals @ The Bendigo Hotel, Melbourne 7/12/2019

The Glass Ocean and Opus of a Machine tour, in fact the entire Melbourne lineup, may seem somewhat of a mismatch on paper, but when you are there enjoying this snapshot of the wondrous diversity inherent in the Aussie...

We Lost the Sea, Tangled Thoughts of Leaving @ Howler, Melbourne 30/11/2019

Instrumental rock music is an acquired taste, especially when it’s the eclectic and less accessible style pushed by these two masterful Aussie acts. But when you acquire that taste, there’s no going back, it hooks you in and holds...

Wolves In The Throne Room, Illyria and Bloodlust @ Badlands, Perth 28/11/2019

American black metal bands can be somewhat of a rare commodity. A country is rarely known for its icy cold grim riffage, Wolves in the Thorne Room have created a name for themselves ever since their inception in 2002....
