Just over 2 years ago, I wrote a review of Paradise Lost's then-current album and it closed with the following: "I’m absolutely gobsmacked with The Plague Within. If you’d asked me before tonight what my favourite PL album was then the answer would have immediately been Draconian Times. But ask me again tomorrow and it … Continue reading Review: Paradise Lost – Medusa

Review: Meshiaak – Alliance of Thieves
Anyone up for a dose of good auld Thrash? With Alliance of Thieves, Meshiaak have delivered just that. Meshiaak were formed in Melbourne, Australia by Danny Camilleri (4ARM) and Dean Wells (Teramaze), with bass duties covered by Nick Walker.

Review: Metal Allegiance – Fallen Heroes EP

Review: Dead Label – Throne of Bones
I've been looking forward to getting my hands on Throne of Bones, as it's the culmination of an interest I've had since my older sister introduced me to Dead Label a few years ago. My sister isn't a rocker/metaller at all - she knows her music though. So why would I get the recommendation? Well, … Continue reading Review: Dead Label – Throne of Bones
