  • Heavy Metal Ninjas Self Titled EP Review

    Heavy Metal Ninjas Self Titled EP Review

    If you haven’t seen the HEAVY METAL NINJAS live before then picture this… five guys in ninja attire, uber heavy riffs, laser lights and not a vocal to be heard. This is purely a visual / instrumental spectacle. More…

  • Sinate ‘To The Death’ Review

    Sinate ‘To The Death’ Review

    It’s hard to believe SINATE released their last album ‘Violent Ambitions’ almost six years ago! During that time some big things have happened for the band. They spent time living in Europe, toured with the likes of legends MARDUK and VADER, experienced a couple of line-up changes, and lucky for NZ Metal fans they also recorded their most brutal album yet!

  • Optimus Gryme ‘Slam & Groove Volume 7′ Review

    Optimus Gryme ‘Slam & Groove Volume 7′ Review

    A couple of years back one of my work mates introduced me to dubstep in the form of OPTIMUS GRYME. Having previously explored the many realms of experimental metal this artist instantly struck a chord with me. More…

  • Machete Justice ‘Reversion’ Review

    Machete Justice ‘Reversion’ Review

    Rolling multiple sub-genres of rock and metal into one cohesive and captivating recording is no easy feat but Tauranga’s MACHETE JUSTICE have achieved it, and on their debut album no less! More…

  • Five Finger Death Punch ‘American Capitalist’ Review

    Five Finger Death Punch ‘American Capitalist’ Review

    Producing a commercially successful metal record has never been a particularly easy task, and when it does occur, it is often regarded as a freak moment of brilliance when all parties natural talent is combined to create packaged up aggression accessible by mainstream rock fans. More…

  • Megadeth ‘TH1RT3EN’ Review

    Megadeth ‘TH1RT3EN’ Review

    As the name suggests ‘TH1RT3EN’ is MEGADETH’s 13th album. It’s also the first studio album since ‘The World Needs A Hero’ (2001) to feature original bassist David Ellefson and in some ways it’s fitting because it’s similar music to what the band was playing before he left. More…

  • Midnight Youth – World Comes Calling – Review

    Midnight Youth – World Comes Calling – Review

    Honestly, I don’t know what the hell happened to MIDNIGHT YOUTH between their debut ‘The Brave Don’t Run’ and ‘World Comes Calling’ but I like it! After storming their way to success with that first release, these guys are back with something equally hook-laden but a million times more epic and sincere. More…

  • Staind – Self Titled

    Staind – Self Titled

    It has become a cliché statement for rock bands as an album drops: “This album almost ended the band”. You learn to take it with a grain of salt, almost like when bands tell you “this album is gonna be our best one yet”. More…

  • Job For A Cowboy – Ruination Review

    Job For A Cowboy – Ruination Review

    Made internet-famous by a you tube video, with almost 3million views, featuring their 2005 song “Knee Deep” from the E.P “Doom”, apparently played by children’s cartoon character Sponge Bob and other residents of “Bikini Bottom” (type ‘death metal sponge bob’ into youtube and you should get it). More…

  • Human – Cadaver Academy Review

    Human – Cadaver Academy Review

    Christchurch’s HUMAN need no introduction. They’ve been blasting out Death / Grindcore tunes since way the hell back in 1992 making them one of the most long standing NZ bands in their genre. More…
