REVIEWS

Where to start with a review for NWOBHM (New wave of British heavy metal) giants Angel Witch’s latest record. I think first a little history of these giants; though never rising to the heights of […]

High gain and raw comes to mind with this album. Although it sounds similar to that of the early roots of Black Metal, one can’t seem to look past the raw aggressive musical assault these […]

Just a quick note before I get into this album review: There is such a hard market for Black Metal these days with different styles and the ever-critical fan base. Helleborus‘ album Saprophytic Divinations was […]

Fragments of changes, under layered power ballads and melodies, is what’s on offer by the duo which makes Chaos over Cosmos so much more than just a band. Delicate guitar work with samples of synth […]

Melbourne based Myriad Drone released their debut full-length album Arka Morgana in mid-October. The album is comprised of eight impressive instrumental progressive-rock and metal songs which can only be described as brilliant. buy zithromax online […]

Cattle Decapitation’s most recent full-length Death Atlas is best described in the following three words: consistent, heavy and technical. The album begins with the introductory track Anthropogenic: End Transmission. The opening track sets the scene. […]

Thrash metal band Strident with their new release March of Plague execute their brand of metal with clarity and precision. I’m not sure whether this is the only metal band to come out of Israel […]

A good coffee; a nice cat purring on your lap; a Tv show that isn’t ‘reality’; this is a list of things that I automatically like, and after today, King’s newest release, Coldest of Cold […]

Being born in 1982, and aware that the 80s seemed to go on until 1996, I have a soft spot for 80s nostalgia, and Voyager (even the name is 80s inspired) has it in spades. […]

I’ve written about this sort of stuff before, but generally the bands I review do two things, 1) they try to invent something completely new by meshing 2 or more genres (sometimes this works wonderfully, […]

Formed in 2017, the Australian heavy metal band from Sydney, Acrolysis, released their debut EP Black Dog’s Serenade earlier this year. Their sound is influenced by Metallica, Black Sabbath, Judas Priest and Megadeath. The members, […]

Ok, let’s cut the crap on this one and look at the reality of the situation. Australia’s melodic metal scene is growing from strength to strength. The number of quality releases in the genre over […]

For the longest time, I have believed in the idea of fake it until you make it. It is the feeling that whatever you do, do with your whole heart. Do it with confidence and […]

This stunning new release from Brotthogg – ‘Echoes of the Past’, is an epic masterpiece! Everything from song structure to the overall sound of the album is absolutely impeccable. The guitar is masterful – melodic […]

Distant hills and the often cold plains of Wellington, New Zealand has proven to be the quintessential setting for Black Gaze/Depressive Black Metal solo project Vaermina and the creative canvas for the debut 2019 EP […]

I can’t think of another metal band that is from Kazakhstan, so Zarraza might be my first! And I must say, I wasn’t disappointed with their release Rotten Remains. Considering this release is a re-recording […]

There is one measure I tend to use when reviewing albums as to whether I genuinely like the stuff or not, and that is: do I forget to analyse the music as I’m listening to […]

I have tried writing this review a few times and each time I think I was trying to over-analyze things too much and it was sounding pretentious and wanky. Which is not the Metal-Roos way.online […]

I realize that we’re late to the game on this one, but I’m going by the philosophy of, ‘better late than never, and to that end, let’s have a look at Bastardizer’s 2019 release, Dawn […]

I’ve been given Disentomb’s latest release The Decaying Light to review, and instead of giving this a traditional review like everyone else is going to do, I’m going to do something a little different. I’m […]

Carrying on the traditions of acts such as Evanescence and In This Moment, The Last Martyr’s release Creatrix brings together the sweetness and almost poppy elements of metal with distorted guitar, competent drums and the […]

Lagerstein has released their new album, 25/7, through Kegstand Productions on August 23. Known as Australia’s own Pirate Metal Band, these guys like singing and making music about drinking. 25/7 is the band’s third album […]

Whenever I play the video games of my youth, I can never capture the feeling I first had when I started playing the game the first time. This is because there is nothing that can […]

This a single release and while we don’t normally do this sort of thing, I twisted the arms of the people at Metal-Roos to make this happen. This is because melodeath rules in my head […]
