Intergracia - EP Review: Rise of The Incubus

31 Dec 2017 // A review by Kerry MB

Intergracia are a Kapiti/Wellington band, and as some may remember, formally known as Magnum Opus. They deliver powerful melodic metal that you’ll love from the start.

Rise of the Incubus is their newly released EP, and hits all the right chords. Their energy and passion are obvious and infectious with crisp, clear vocals and insanely catchy hook riffs and solos that throw a hell of a punch.

Whether you’re straight up Metal, a little bit of Rock, or only about that melody, you’ll get it all with these guys. No bulls***, just great music.

Tim Mekalick is lead vocalist and guitarist these days, with a profound sense of lyrical capability and a vocal style that catches your attention and keeps it throughout. The band are clearly great musicians and their technical ability is impressive.

Since their formation in 2008, the band have gone from strength to strength over the years in their local metal scene, and although they have had their share of line-up changes since, the band continue to establish themselves as an important part in New Zealand’s metal scene.

If you haven’t yet discovered Intergracia, get out from under that rock and discover, then go purchase a digital download of Rise of The Incubus. You won’t be disappointed.

Shady Brain Farm hail from North-West Auckland — specifically Kumeu, Waimauku, and Muriwai Beach — and has been making music together since 1997.

Hadees Drudge - Album Review: The Mind Lies When The Soul Dies
01 Aug 2024 // by Kerry MB
Hadees Drudge is quite an anomaly in Wellington’s metal scene. Forgoing a second guitarist, they proudly rock one guitar in a genre where that’s almost unheard of.

In a moment we’ve all been waiting for, Crowded House, who need no introduction have released their new album, Gravity Stairs. It’s only been a little over two years since their last offering, Dreamers Are Waiting (2021) and it seems fans just can’t get enough.

PARK RD - Album Review The Novel
23 May 2024 // by Kerry MB
It’s easy to see why Auckland five-piece, PARK RD is making some noise, figuratively and literally with their debut album, The Novel. Heavy on the indie, but far from light with solid guitar riffs and pop and funk sensibilities, PARK RD are a great example of solid musicianship.
