Scorn Of Creation - Album Review: Scorn of Creation
To start with Scorn of Creation's line-up gets you excited.
The group is made up of veterans of the NZ Metal scene. The members have been
in bands such as Bulletbelt, Backyard Burial, Depths and The Dauntless. Each of
them are extremely accomplished musicians and here they have produced a technical
piece that covers all the intricacies of Death metal. In a lot of ways this
appears to be a somewhat tribute or homage to the roots of Death Metal and, with
that in mind, no two songs sound the same. There is a common sound, so they do
have their own identity, but it explores and reminds you of what you love about
Death Metal in the first place.
Seth Jackson is outstanding on guitar and not only are
there some smashing riffs that pulverise your skull, there’s plenty of burning
leads that leave you seared and blistered. I’ve seen him in a few bands in the
past and he has always impressed me and once again he has more than delivered.
Kris Gillan has the voice of a demon lord and provides a fitting accompaniment
to the chaos below. Shaun Anderson is
a machine on drums and smashes it as he always does - there aren’t many
drummers in New Zealand as talented as Shaun. Every band needs its backbone and
George Prowse comes to the party, providing solid riffs to pull it all
together. Just when you think it can’t get any better two of my favourite
singers get in on the act with Dan Birrell from Carnal and Jolene Tempest both
making appearances.
Stand out tracks to me were Rebirth (The Promise of Pain to Come), Dante (Traversing the Unknown), The New Crown and Rebellion Unleashed. Oh hell, that’s half the album oops well I did really dig this
album.
Fans of Morbid Angel, Death, Cannibal Corpse and Deicide
should buy this album - it will reignite your passion for Death Metal again. For
me, when my fingers start to twitch, my head starts to nod and the blood starts rushing, nothing
beats it. This is the power of music in its rawest form.

It was a very sad day when Ozzy Osbourne had to cancel his New Zealand tour, but it came with a silver lining. We had one Judas Priest show, turning them from being a support slot to full headliners.

ATU's Point of View is an instrumental EP mainly focused on the guitar but written, performed, recorded and mastered in its entirety by ATU. It has an amazing cover, which in itself asks a question.

Straight Up is the latest single and video from Ravenhall - Auckland based duo Chris Brebner and Joe Ravenhall. From my understanding these guys have been in multiple bands together over the years and they have performed as Ravenhall for around 5 years.

I was a very excited man as I headed towards Spark Arena in Auckland, for what is undoubtedly one of the world’s greatest rock bands, Queen and Adam Lambert. Now purists would say it’s not Queen without Freddie, but it's worth going to see the show before making judgements.

Spook The Horses - Album Review: People Used To Live Here
07 Dec 2017 // by terry666
Atmospheric bordering on doom is what encapsulates this somewhat gloomy affair. This has previously been described as post metal, and there is a lot of darkness but this is in by no means a metal release and it wanders down the path of alternative music in my mind.

Alice Cooper, Ace Frehley and Strangers. Wellington, 28 October 2017 Aussie rockers Strangers opened the show to a crowd that had probably never even heard of them but the got the crowd going and I suspect won over a whole new set of fans.
