It's seriously mental metal...

Blatherskite - Where the Wasteland Ends (Unsigned)

It recently occurred to me that I'm yet to give a positive review of an album on this site. This is my own fault in part, due to me reviewing whatever needs to be reviewed rather than just albums from bands I'm familiar with.

Lesser known band spotlight: BerserkerfoX

BerserkerfoX were the second winners of our lesser-known bands spotlight. A young band – their first show was just two years ago – they're focused, determined to get their product right, and to generate the right amount of hype to carry them into the future.

 

 

Blunt Force Trauma – Self-titled demo (unsigned)

On the evidence of this three track demo, five piece Western Australian metal heads Blunt Force Trauma are fighting well above their weight!
