Listening to the first track, 'Pull The Trigger ', made me feel like I had taken a time machine back to the 90s grunge scene. Nostalgic but fresh, I could tell I was going to like this album straight off the bat! Moving on to 'Here ', where do I even begin? The verse melody is so addictive and angsty, ramp

Torn From Hope are a newly formed modern metalcore band from Brisbane. There is definitely something in those Queensland waters, because Torn From Hope deliver sheer and relentless brutality with ease and authenticity with “Lights Out”. This aggression serves as a backdrop to raw and honest lyricism that demonstrate Torn From Hope’s core mission to give a voice to those fighting battles that often go unseen. "Lights Out" is unapologetically heavy right from the very first not

melbourne has some fresh meat in the scene. built around the sound they call 'ethereal violence', their music is cinematic and immersive. Just the way i like it. solis (as a band) may be new but the group consists of members from established bands in the local Melbourne scene. let's dive in to this review. the song starts as a slow build. with the deep drums and quiet whispers. for just a moment it's quiet, unaware of what's to come. then... you get thrown in with some filthy

Adelaide five piece, Sørrøwstate, are not resting on their laurels. Following up April’s release of My Own Grave, they’re back with new single, Same Old Pain.

Outer worlds took to the stage at THE Catfish hotel on Friday 17th and They did not disappoint! heading into the gig, i only knew the band's name; not their sound, so i wasn't sure what to expect. from the very first note though, i was caught completely off guard in the best way possible. their sound hit hard immediately and i was instantly hooked. the energy never dipped for a second. it felt less like a band returning to the stage after time away and more like they had been

Darwin's metalcore outfit Koh have delivered a 7-track EP that feels both incredibly beautiful and painfully disgusting at the same time and honestly i'm in awe! The production on this one is flawless and KOH are such a tight band with an immense live energy even through studio recordings.
