Words: Mitch Alexander Images: Tony Proudfoot Click here to view the full gallery! As I wandered about 170 Russell, it warmed the cockles of my heart to hear so many people still using death growls as a method of...

Devildriver, Whitechapel & Aversions Crown @ The Hi-Fi, Sydney 06/09/14

The night didn’t start quite as planned, due to a number of different factors I missed most of Aversions Crown’s set. Whitechapel kicked off their set a couple of minutes late, and the packed Sydney Hi-Fi seemed really anxious...

Architects, Stray From The Path & Hand of Mercy @ The Corner Hotel, Melbourne 01/09/2014

For most of the night I was sure this review was going to be a lambast of the live music scene in this country, focusing in particular on those young, spindly dickheads in the middle of the moshpit: flailing...

Anathema (UK) @ Corner Hotel, Melbourne 23/08/2014

Having recently arrived back from a run of European metal festivals (Masters of Rock, Metal Days, and Wacken Open Air – reviews up very soon), I was itching to see something a little more intimate. Anathema. The perfect intimate....

Neurosis @ The Hi-Fi, Melbourne 08/08/14

Images: Micheal Goddard Words: Martin Michea I arrive at the Factory Theatre about half an hour before the doors open on this cold Saturday evening. There I am greeted by a crowd of people that really didn’t look like...

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

Trigger Warning: This article contains my opinions. Please experience these bands yourself and make up your own mind. The two main phrases of this article will be “criminally small crowd” and “do something on stage.” You could probably even...

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

There’s something otherworldly, something hypnotic, about watching a band like Earth live. It was immediately present on their 2012 tour, sitting on the side stage at the Corner Hotel, eyes closed for half the set. Before we get to...

Finntroll, Stormtide & Arbrynth @ The Evelyn, Melbourne 20/06/2014

Images: Justin Tapp Words: Jonathon Besanko The other night saw Finnish folk metallers, Finntroll, take over the Evelyn Hotel in Melbourne. And what a night it was! Whilst door open was pushed from 8 to 9, the crowds still...
