Live Review: Filter @ The Triffid, Brisbane
As the set progressed, Filter delivered hit after hit, from the gritty intensity of 'Obliteration' to the anthemic 'Take A Picture' to the haunting melodies of 'Captain Bligh'.

Live Review: The Plot In You, Erra, Deadlights
It was absolutely Saturday Night Fever at The Triffid for The Plot In You's Swan Song tour date, alongside prog-metalcore legends Erra and local bretheren Deadlights. A flawless night of metalcore and alternative goodness.

Live Review: Northlane, Plini, Sleep Token, alt.
We came, we saw, we worshipped. Northlane's Obsidian album tour wrapped up with a completely sold-out Tivoli show in Brisbane, and the vibe could not have been higher. This was one of those nights where the venue was full from as soon as alt. took the stage and it never let up.

Shreddie Munson and Runnin' Up That Hill feature in new Stranger Things trailer
Music has always been a HUGE part of Stranger Things, since season 1. Setting the show in the 1980's was a stroke of genius by The Duffer Brothers. The ability to set the scene and year by real-world events and song releases means that it puts the viewer directly into that era and keeps it as real-to-life as sci-fi-horror gets. As the 80s has drawn on in years throughout, they have been most recently been able to draw on the thrash metal phase & satanic panic... let's dive into that new trailer.
