With their dark-edged punk attitude and cock-rock swagger Black Veil Brides are ready to take their place among the most popular young rock bands in the world today. The hard rock industry is beyond saturation so anything that steers away from the norm seems like a blessing. Their sophomore album Set the World on Fire has alternative press declaring it “Anthemic arena metal that draws equally... Read More

Three of the biggest names in Melbourne's progressive metal scene are teaming up for the massive Swarm Tour, with Twelve Foot Ninja, Jerrico and Circles heading off around the country this March. Twelve Foot Ninja suspected their live performance was sufficiently honed when they were invited to support international acts Periphery and Tesseract last year.   Alternative rock maestros Jericco...

They're considered to be pioneers of their genre, and as they continue to create their kaleidoscopic music, Opeth have just announced that they'll be bringing their iconic sound to our shores later in the year. Twenty years in the business and twelve albums later, it's easy to understand why a band would feel their end nearing. Not Opeth, though. They are as strong a band as they have ever been... Read More
Avenged Sevenfold : Nightmare
0 Comments. 2,470 Views. Posted 28 Jul 2011 @ 9:38am.
There's much more than meets the ear going on here. This is no simple, production-line metalcore album. Nightmare is a varied musical journey.There are certainly metalcore-esque moments. And sure, the presence of former Dream Theater skin basher Mike Portnoy certainly helps matters a great deal. But Avenged Sevenfold have crafted something pretty special on this record. The title track, whilst... Read More
Avenged Sevenfold

Given the unfortunate death of drummer Jimmy 'The Rev' Sullivan, supposedly of an accidental overdose - aided by cardiomegaly (or enlarged heart) - in late 2009, Nightmare seemed pretty apt for an album title when melodic metallers Avenged Sevenfold finally wrapped up their fifth record last year. 2010 had been the most devastating period in the band members' lives after unexpectedly losing...

RAWR! Oh mah lawd, I am sick. It's what happens when you try to follow one of those Vegan Black Metal Chef recipes to the letter but miss some of it and, instead of rewinding like a normal person, just sort of make up what you think should go in the pot and carry on powerfully. In my feverish delirium, I've somehow entered a dark nether realm where, amazingly, no-one complains about anything... Read More

New Dub City Sound are set to release their debut album Home, a fresh mash up of dub, reggae, hip hop and trip hop.

Released by Raspect Records, Home will be available in stores around Australia and New Zealand from June 10, at live shows and as a... Read More

It's been three years, but Avenged Sevenfold are ready to return to Australia. Since their last Australian tour in 2008, Avenged Sevenfold have gone through a lot. With the death of their drummer Jimmy 'The Rev' Sullivan (or The Reverend Tholomew Plague) the band had to reform, inviting Dream Theater's former drummer Mike Portnoy to fill the gap. With him they continued to work on what would... Read More
