Live Review: Mayhem, Watain, Nocturnal Graves
A banner with “The True Mayhem” hangs behind them, and while any such ‘truth’ is certainly up for debate, after such a momentous performance they’re best left to get away with it.

Live Review: Melvins, Helmets, Six Ft Hick
It’s been excruciating, but the flurry of Cheshire grins at the end says it all – damn well worth the wait!

Album Review: Russian Circles - Memorial
The extremity of Russian Circles is more pronounced on album number five, with black metal even sneaking to the fore on a few occasions.

Album Review: Tim Hecker - Virgins
It possesses great potential when married with concerns of site-specificity. Oh yeah, and it may just be Hecker’s best!

Live Review: Amorphis, The Eternal, Datura Curse
"Amorphis finally deliver the goods to Australian shores, yet unfortunately the complete omission of their prog-rock era leaves a small sense of dissatisfaction looming."

Live Review: Red Deer Festival 2013
"They are billed as the headliners and for good reason, because they sure as hell do give us a headline-worthy performance."

Live Review: Killing Joke, Gerald Keaney & The Gerald Keaneys
Few have had such a profound influence over such a broad range of bands over the last 30 years, and it is doubtful that there are many that could ever deliver such awe-inspiring results this late in the game. An absolute inspiration.
