Blending grunge, rock, metal and hard rock into a tightly wound slab of original music, Higgs Field have shown a maturity beyond their years with this release, promising an even brighter future for a band who openly ...
Loosely classified as emo/punk, Sydney rockers Clay J Gladstone presented their latest single “Sorry” to the world earlier this week via HEAVY in a move that I have to admit made me question the sanity of the band.

Flaming Wrekage have released their latest metal masterpiece with new single âThe Voicelessâ. True to form “The Voiceless” and its upcoming video clip dive deep into some truly personal territory. Sonically, the song is classic melodeath styles delivered with that Flaming Wrekage flair complemented by a chorus and hook that grow in size each time you hear them.

In December Simon collapsed while running with an exploded aorta that required immediate and highly risky open-heart surgery. The initial prognosis was grim but after 8 hours of open-heart surgery Simon defied medical opinion and thankfully pulled through. Continue reading SI-FEST ...
