Watain Interview By Mark Jenkins.
2019 is already heating up as a sensational year for amazing tours.
On the eve of Watain's third Australian tour, we had the honor of interviewing an all-around incredible and articulate guy, Erik Danielsson of Black Metal royalty, Watain.





Their incredible album, Trident Wolf Eclipse dropped one year ago and is a certified metal masterpiece. If you missed this album, suss it out; it will literally blow your mind in every sense. Well written and it wastes no time drawing you in and maintaining your interest on its brutal journey. It's a rip snorter.

Our chat with Erik was really great and his passion just shows with every brilliant answer he thoughtfully provided.

Enjoy our chat, it's certainly a favorite of ours!!



The Australian tour kicks off next month, it will deliver on every level. Don't miss this epic tour.

Integrity interview with Dwid on the eve of their Australian Tour.

Integrity interview with Dwid on the eve of their Australian Tour. True creatives and artisans make art and music for themselves. It may reflect some internal belief or struggle or perhaps dismay at the external world, but it’s always personal. The message should be interpreted by the senses of the audience and not guided by the artist. Integrity is a definitive landmark band because they defy all genres and still produces albums that challenge you on every level. And this, unfortunately, is rare in the age of bands simply playing it safe. Integrity combines art, music and a grim mystique to a style that can only be deemed as heavy as fuck.



Known for being one of the most incendiary and influential bands in hardcore and modern metal history, apocalyptic heavy music icons INTEGRITY finally are touring Australia this month. Their catalog is simply unbeatable with classic albums like Those Who Fear Tomorrow, Systems Overload, Humanity is the Devil, Seasons in the Size of Days and more …

Bastard Squad-Interview with Jason and "Hate City" album review by Mark Jenkins

Bastard Squad- Without a doubt one of the most influential punk bands in Australia and for me personally, the band as a teenager that introduced me to local punk and it's community. From their first demo to the current album, they have always steered away from trends and always remained as punk as fuck. Despite endless lineup changes, this band has not only toured overseas but scored support slots for pretty much every big name punk gig in Australia. Lyrically and musically they have always remained progressive, and the current album "Hate City" is a testament to this statement.

I honestly believe Bastard Squad are as pivotal to the Australian punk scene (as well as Vicious Circle, Tutti Parze and Warp Spasm) as Mindsnare is to Aussie Hardcore. Great to see Bastard Squad still kicking and not resting on their laurels, but rather challenging the sociopolitical impact of the modern-day landsca…

Warrior Pope-Mellified Man album review. FFO: Deep toned and psychotic doom metal.
Again like a record I keep flipping over for its greatness, I will repeat 2020 is a fantastic year for heavy music. Warrior Pope is an incredible experimental doom metal act from Bristol that is exceptionally original and damn great at the sonic madness they are creating. This is their first album with vocals and to my ears, it certainly adds an increased layer of aggression. The vocals are somewhere between Deafheaven's vocal style and also head nods to Sabbath and Mayhem equally. The 7 track album is so solid because it just flows so damn well, indeed all musicians are terribly masterful in their individual acts, but it just sounds like a tight band. This is the difference between a good and a great album. It's a grim album, exceptionally dark and morbid as fuck; yet dynamic as hell. They are tagged as amplifier worship, how apt a tag. Guitars rip right through you on every track same as the …
