FROM THE RUINS „Lights Out”
The Aussie Hardcore scene has always been thereabouts. I remember Adelaide (South Australian capital for you foreign readers) acts such as Day of Contempt and Shotpointblank making waves, but I must admit to be rather ignorant to its plight over the last few years.
GENIUS „A Rock Opera: Episode 2: In Search Of The Little Prince”
In the wake of the recent Ayreon release, it is a rather difficult task to approach any other 'rock opera' of 2004 in a solely subjective light. As far as conceptual progressive metal albums go, for me AAL's 'Human Equation' remains the untouchable benchmark.
EYES OF FIRE „Ashes to Embers”
I must admit my initial ignorance towards 'Eyes of Fire' upon the release of this full length. I was aware of it's potential and the 90% rave reviews it was receiving, but for some reason I forgot about it.
DOOMSHINE „Thy Kingdom Come”
My reviews of Doom metal albums are few and far between. It's a genre that I love listening to when the mood strikes.
