Surely by now you’ve all heard of KING. When members of bands as stellar as Psycroptic, Blood Duster and Fuck I’m Dead get together, it’s hard news to miss. And this slab of rif-driven black metal is as great as the caliber of musicians...

Italy’s Hierophant are the perfect band for when you need a concise slab of sludge. 2014’s Peste was a bit of a more aggressive deviation but if anything the title track from their new album Mass Grave, and first with guitarist Lollo on...

There is absolutely nothing fancy about the first video clip from Perth’s Wardaemonic, but it’s proof that there doesn’t need to be; fire, death and corpse paint still works when filmed this well. The beach makes for a cool...

When you think of classic Australian metal bands it’s hard to go past Hobbs’ Angel of Death, despite their limited discography. Peter Hobbs and Co released a couple of well loved demos and their debut, self titled album back...

The debut from Tassie’s Départe feels like it has been coming forever. The first single “Citylights”, a different sound then the beast they are now, was back in 2011 with the only recordings since a 2-track demo in 2014....

There’s a clear line of progression from 2007’s The Frail Tide through to 2012’s Of Breath and Bone, with Be’lakor perfecting their upbeat, riff-driven style of melodeath. And while Vessels still has that distinct Be’lakor sound, it’s...
