SEVEN WITCHES „Year of the Witch”
Jack Frosts Seven Witches plays straight up heavy fucking metal punters. Last years A Passage to the Other Side was one of the true classic metal albums of the year – it ripped from beginning to end.

MINDSNARE „The Death”
As a straight up Metal head who was raised on classic the Metal of the eighties I shouldnt like Hardcore. However, past involvement in the music industry through radio and writing has given me exposure to the whole genre of heavy music Hardcore included.
DEMONOTHER „s/t”
With its iridescent green logo jumping out at you in contrast to its black background, new Aussie grindcore act Demonother make a particularly stark initial impression. For me, the album cover emanates some sort of otherworldly vibe and fortunately the bands music, whilst not quite of another planet, is suitably deranged.
AXIS OF ADVANCE „Obey”
There comes a time in my metal listening week where I crave something a little more filthy in sound. A lot of modern metal acts are incredibly spot-on with their musicianship and production values check out the tightness of the latest Lamb of God and Caliban all props to them.
