Following a hiatus that stretched on for well past a decade, ’90s cult metal legends, Superheist have made an impactful return to the Australian metal scene. 2016’s release, Ghosts of the Social Dead, and the band’s killer live shows are reminding us why Superheist will be sticking around.

One in particular, Comacozer, is creating some fuzzed riffs that spiral down to gloomy depths and then crawl their way back up to spaced out heights.

ALBUM REVIEW: OPERA OBLIVIA BY HELLIONS

ALBUM REVIEW: OPERA OBLIVIA BY HELLIONS

Having only formed in 2013, the Sydney boys, Hellions, have now dropped their third record titled Opera Oblivia. It’s an obscure title: ‘opera’ meaning works of art and ‘oblivia’ meaning a passive state of forgetfulness. Once you understand the meaning behind this title, the album’s direction becomes much clearer; it’s all about a collection of...
