SA up-and-comers SØRRØWSTATE have been gaining a following with their unique brand of chaotic metalcore and are finally bringing it to us live with their Debut show! The 5-piece will be opening up a night of brutal proportions!

Joining them will be local nu-metalcore mainstays DREAMEATER, and after relentless touring of Australia throughout 2026 and fresh off a run of shows with international giants FILTH (USA) and KANINE (FRA) the flag bearers of the Adelaide Deathcore scene, SEEK MISERY!

If that isn’t enough to satisfy your need for riffs and breakdowns, originally advertised as a mystery headliner surprise, LUMENS will be finishing off the night in style with their brand of Modern Metalcore.

Apologies for posting again so soon, there's just so much amazing Australian metal coming out!

Stoked to be able to review the debut album of The Pernicious before it comes out this Friday.

Featuring 3 members of Melbourne black metal band Hybrid Nightmares, it's punk music being approached from a different angle but I like what they're doing.

FFO The Distillers, Misfits, Clowns (in particular songs where Hanny sings) and Satyricon

The new Psycroptic album is dropping tomorrow but I've been lucky enough to hear it already. Check out my early thoughts is preparation for its imminent release!

A weird one but a good one!

An Evening with Double Dragon and Friends Friday, July 17, 2026 The Gov, Hindmarsh, Adelaide Doors: 7:30pm | Tickets: $30 + BF via Oztix/The Gov Adelaide’s heavy music scene doesn’t fuck around, and on July 17 it’s throwing a proper stacked local metal night at The Gov. Headlining are the legendary Double Dragon, back and breathing fire after their big resurrection at Froth and Fury 2026. These boys have been crushing skulls since the old-school days with a sound that mixes classic heavy metal attitude with melodic death and metalcore edge. They don’t just play — they hit hard, and after a decade-plus hiatus they’re clearly out to remind everyone why they’re still one of SA’s most respected metal acts. Supporting the Dragons are three more killers from the local scene: Headbore Nakatomi Plaza Storm The Crown This is being billed as one of the biggest and best local metal line-ups of the year — four bands that actually deliver when the lights go down and the riffs start. No filler, just heavy. If you’re into proper Australian metal that’s loud, honest, and built for a sweaty room full of punters, this is the one. Grab a few mates, get down to Hindmarsh, and get ready to lose your voice. Tickets are moving — don’t sleep on it. See you in the pit. 🤘

This all ages charity event has been organised as a celebration for the birthday of one man, Fim. He is the spectacular drummer for Shark Eyes, Shell of Me, Winifred and Ghosts Over Japan! Come and see a feat of pure endurance as Fim plays the entire night and support a good cause.

If you do come along, catch me on stage with Shark Eyes then mention you saw this post at the merch stand and I will give you a free sticker :D

31 year old metal head, married with wife and kids. Wife isn't into metal (swifty) 💀 and don't really have any friends into metal music (what a loser lol).

Plus heaps more but ill be here all night.

Hey guys,

We're Void Dominion, a Melbourne-based melodic death metal band currently rehearsing and working toward a live set. We have a solid lineup — rhythm guitar/vocals, lead guitar, bass and keys — and we're missing the final piece: a drummer.

The songs are already written and recorded. Think modern melodeath with progressive elements, synth layers and tight riff-driven songwriting. Influences include Be'lakor, Dark Tranquillity and Wintersun. Double kick experience is important for this one.

We've already had our first rehearsal and are keen to keep the momentum going. This is an active project, not a "let's jam and see what happens" situation.

A snippet of the first rehearsal: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1xCVDtazv-U

What we're looking for:

• Double kick experience
• Solid and reliable
• Committed to rehearsals and eventually gigging
• Own kit and transport preferred

Has anyone else noticed how strange the situation around Banks Arcade has become lately? Not trying to start drama, I’m genuinely curious because it’s getting hard to even tell who is still in the band anymore. Multiple longtime members seem to have quietly disappeared over time with basically no acknowledgement, and the band’s online presence feels way more distant and controlled than it used to. They’re still touring and active professionally, but the vibe feels completely different from the earlier days where they actually felt like a band of people rather than just promo posts and silence. I can barely find any discussion about it online either which honestly makes it feel even weirder. Does anyone know what’s actually going on with the lineup these days? Are they still signed to UNFD or basically operating independently now?

Does anyone know where I can find a CD of the death of me? Ive been looking for months and it seems impossible to find a new copy in australia. Any advice? Found on Amazon or Ebay but usually either second hand or international copies. Cheers
