Astralium – ‘Land Of Eternal Dreams’ (Rockshots Records)

John Bedard that if you like symphonic metal at all and do not pick up a copy of this album your collection will be missing something vital. Indeed, he thinks this might be the best album he has heard this year, and it brought him to tears multiple times. It will be the new standard for him as to what is a perfect symphonic metal album, at least for the time being. He doesn’t not think anyone will be disappointed in what they hear here and reckons this is probably a fantastic album to convert new people to the genre – but at the same time lacks nothing that long-time fans will look for.

Metal Mayhem V – St Helens, Tank – 27 July 2019

A new venue to our travelling gigaholic, Tank in St Helens, hosting a rock/metal all dayer for free seemed like a damn good way to start his Saturday off, before heading into his DJ residency. And with the likes of Witch Tripper and Deified appearing on the bill, it was a damn good line up! That in mind, he headed across on local transport to take in some heavy riffs. A small bar with a strong DIY ethic and spirit awaited him, along with a number of the bands already in good spirits.

According to our man John B, ‘Wasted Energy’ – the second album from Melbourne punks Press Club – is a “passionate collection of emotions rather than just a group of songs. You can feel the passion and meaning that each song holds for the band members. With a strong delivery and a band that clearly works well together, we have all the makings of a great album here.” You can find out why he says this on the other side of the link…
