Iniquitous Monolith have recorded their first full-length release and it's very good and very heavy.

Right off the bat, the first track 'Putrid Vomitorium' throws you into a crushingly heavy, low, moshy, sludge groove. The production is fat. Every instrument…

Escarion's first LP, 2021's Pillars of the Faith, was very much a progressive death album. Their follow up album, Towards a Futile Existence, is something very different.
 

The guitar shredding mastery is still present and as impressive as it ever…

Their first LP release since 2021's Revelator, Plague of Locus begins with a short intro which guides us into an album of eclectic covers. I like a good cover version as much as the next metalhead, but I much prefer…

From the name and the logo, gotta say I expected flat out straight-forward thrash metal. And whilst some speed and riffs are there, I was surprised to hear a more modern melodic sound with a bit of substance and a…

Labelling themselves as 'outlaw' grind, Melbourne's Choof are an abrasive bunch to say the least.

Their awesomely titled debut EP ‘Dimwitted Amoral Exploitation’ has just been released, and with 8 songs clocking in at around 14 mins, they ain't mucking…

Melbourne's Orpheus Omega have given us a new EP in ‘Portraits’ and boy did they all sharpen their tools before going into the studio for this one! They have trully excelled themselves by turning it up a notch in all…

Starting as a death/grind band in 2016, Melbourne's MUNT have been evolving into a terrifying beast and now in 2023 present their fourth EP ‘Pain Ouroboros’. 

This 5 track EP shows Munt at their newest and finest, with a hybrid…

Have you been watching the new Lord of the Rings series, Rings of Power? Any fellow hobbit-heads out there will have noticed the incredibly breathtaking scenery. The snowy mountain ranges and awe-inspiring landscapes of New Zealand are on full display…

If your auditory tube is in need of a good unblocking, then might we suggest throwing on 'Bad Moon Blues', the third album from Melbourne's doom/stoner/psychadelic mob Motherslug. It's thunderous, it's fuzz filled & the low tuned, thickly coated riffage…

Melbourne metal band PRIMITIVE are here with their new 6-track EP 'With The Rats and Snakes'!

Pressing play delivers a creepy intro piece with stunning clean guitar chorus tone, sounds very evil and cool. Then you get what PRIMITIVE is…

The eighth PSYCROPTIC album? Shit yeah! 

You know what you’re getting with this reliable death metal act. Riffs, so many bustling death metal riffs played with utter precision. Backed up with drums tight as buggery and the angriest of yelling…

Werewolves see, Werewolves do. If you are a Werewolves fan by now, you should know what to expect. If you are not, jump aboard if you dare. 

"From The Cave To The Grave" is the 3rd bombardment discharged from this…

We got a good one here folks. The three miscreants outta Perth creating FLATUS have been quietly delivering studio material  for the last 6 years or so, and building their name as a Carcass-worship act. However, their latest effort THWOMP…

Metal, and black metal in particular, has been forever linked to nature. There are endless album covers with grim, black and white photos of trees, and music videos featuring corpse painted bands doing their thing in the middle of the…

Here we have the debut album from hard-hitting and very active Perth live act AS LIGHT DECAYS. The album is called SYSTEM OF DIVISION and it’s out 13th November 2021. 

They describe themselves as groove / thrash metal, and these…

Kimura’s new album ‘Çircle The Prey’ is HUGE! Boasting 13 tracks of pure melodic aggression doused in groove, thrashiness and hate, this album is an outstanding improvement from previous releases and easily sits up there as their best. 

Each track…

Stretch that neck, crack those knuckles, and get ready to move. The new album from Melbourne’s THE ASCENDED is out on September 17 and it’s a banger! 

This four piece have been around since 2014, releasing two EP’s, a S=single…

Tom Thumb first splurted their creamy goodness into our ears with their 2019 split release “Thy Kingdom Cum” and what a treat it was. Those ten tracks have now been followed up with a whopping 21 song release, “Licence to…

To put it bluntly, this shit is off it’s fucking head! They reckon their own brand of violent, slamming death metal could grind the beak off an ibis. Understatement if you ask me, this could grind the tusk off a…

Orpheus Omega and Triple Kill, both from Melbourne, are about to embark on an east coast to and to coincide with this, they have collaborated to produce a split covers EP. 

Titled ‘Career Suicide’, the EP consist of a collection…

BELETH, a 2 piece studio act out of Australia’s east coast are here with their debut album SILENT GENESIS. 

On hearing the band name I was expecting grim black metal, but in fact this is some heavy chunky stuff in…

As far as death metal goes, Crypt Crawler’s ‘Future Usurper’ is as about as old school as it gets. 

In the modern day where it all seems to be about cramming as many drum beats & notes into a single…

Heavy music album title of the year is already here! For those unknown to Dr Colossus, their riffage leans toward the doom, rock, stoner area and they are devout Simpson nerds. Which may explain to some of you, the album…

Eurkuh is a one-man black metal project out of Wagga Wagga, ‘the place of many crows’. This four track EP, ‘Not At All’ is the debut release from the project, and is a very impressive piece of work for a…

The Amenta have been around in one form or another since 1997, and their sound has changed a lot since the Crucible of Agony days. The opening track even teases an earlier black metal sound, before quickly ripping off that…
