Interviews
Interview: Thomas Powell of Auralayer
Written by Kirk The month of July was packed to the gills with great releases. One of those records was Thousand Petals, the debut album from newcomers Auralayer (you can read my review of it here), and it honestly blew me away. So when I heard the band was eager to do some interviews, I…
Interview: Alex and Sakda of Fleshvessel
Written by Kep I recently had the pleasure of picking the brains of Alexander Torres (guitar, drum programming, several other things) and Sakda Srikoetkhruen (fretless bass, guitar, phin), one half of uber-progressive experimental death metal outfit Fleshvessel.

Album Review: Mammon’s Throne – “Mammon’s Throne” (Stoner Doomsludge)
Written by Kirk Mammon’s Throne – Mammon’s Throne> Stoner/Doom/Sludge> Victoria, Australia> Releasing April 1> Brilliant Emperor Records Have you ever listened to an album that was so utterly and completely your jam that you completely lose yourself in it? You forget where you are and what you were doing. Time stands still, and the only thing that matters is getting to that last song. It’s happened to me a few times, and it happened to me with this album right here. Seriously, though, have you heard Mammon’s…

Album Review: Ashen – “Ritual of Ash” (Death Metal)
Written by Kep Ashen – Ritual of Ash> Death metal> Australia> Releasing January 13> Bitter Loss Records Perth four-piece Ashen released a particularly impressive debut EP, Godless Oath, back in August of 2021 and left death metal fans the world over on the watch for a full-length. Their hard-hitting, no-frills approach was the sort of thing that made for immediate impact: riffs on riffs on riffs, monstrous roars, and no bullshit to distract from the infectious death grooves, all tied together by crisp, punchy modern production. It was a recipe…

Album Review: Faceless Burial – “At the Foothills of Deliration” (Death Metal)
Written by Patrick (Heavy_Therapy) Faceless Burial – At the Foothills of Deliration> Death metal> Victoria, Australia> Releasing October 7> Dark Descent / Me Saco Un Ojo In no time, Faceless Burial have made a name for themselves in the extreme metal underground. After only one demo, released in 2015, they released their debut LP in 2017, titled Grotesque Miscreation. It was chock full of twisting riffs, abrupt tempo changes, thrashy grooves, and deep low guttural vocals to match the best of them. I would argue, though, that it…

Album Review: Fire to the Prisons – Fire To The Prisons EP (Black/Doom)
Written by Barlow Fire to The Prisons – Fire to the Prisons EP black metal/doom/blackgazeOut June 3rd, 2022https://fire2theprisons.bandcamp.com/ Solo artists producing metal of any kind is always such a curiosity, on the one hand being a solo acoustic act or a solo hip hop act has some a kind of sense to it, you don’t need to necessarily have anyone else, and you can put out music at your pace, the same – however – can not be said for black metal. Trying to navigate…

Australian Heavypedia: Interview with Shatter Brain (Death/Thrash)
Shatter Brain just put out their debut LP Pitchfork Justice after having a split and demo to their name since their formation in 2017. This new album marks a rise for the band in the underground Australian metal scene with an overall well rounded product. It certainly helps that they host a couple of their states largest metal festivals.
