It’s hard to believe that around 10 years ago a native Australian bird that quietly went about its business identifying as a King Parrot was about to have its identity and status unceremoniously ripped from its majestic wings and would forevermore play second fiddle to its new namesake.   Yes, people, Melbourne grindcore (for want of having to label the mayhem) outfit King Parrot this year celebrate a decade of destroying stages around not only their home country but also that ...

  Pieced together over the last two years, Once Human‘s upcoming album Scar Weaver represents a massive step forward for the band. Blessed (or perhaps cursed) with plenty of additional time during the last year’s lockdown situation, the band have been able to refine and redefine their sound, inspired by a sudden creative surge from latest recruit, Max Karon. The result is a gloriously idiosyncratic modern metal record, with Lauren Hart’s career-best vocal performance just one of ...

  Asomvel are a three-piece from the U.K., notorious for excessive volume, high-octane stage shows, and for their inspiring lyrics; which abandon all trace of themes typical for the genre, such as how much booze you can drink, and how many women you can mistreat. Choosing instead, to focus on positive, uplifting themes about overcoming adversity, and championing the underdog.   Barely a year after the band released their well-respected debut LP, Kamikaze, the band was shaken to ...

Continue reading Album Review: DARKTHRONE ‘Eternal Hails’ at HEAVY Magazine - Rock, Punk, Metal Music & Beyond.

  Words by Jimmy Glinster   Beartooth, a name I’ve heard, but a band I’ve never had the pleasure of listening to.   Their press release photo had me thinking that this was going to be some kind of ‘middle-of-the- road’ radio rock band, with a singer that looked like the ‘WISH’ version of M-Shadows.   Without jumping to too many conclusions though, I threw this on while driving around at my boring day job. Continue reading Album Review: BEARTOOTH ‘Below’ at ...
