[Gig Reviews]: Who needs candy when your Halloween involves the first ever Australian tour from the death metal godfathers themselves in Possessed? Furthermore, who’s got food on the brain whilst copping the 40th anniversary of genre-progenitor album Seven Churches, backed by none other than locals In Malice’s Wake? Not us, and not the punters at Croxton Bandroom. Read on for the full gig review!

[Podcast] Interview with DARREN ‘DAZ’ BROOKES of UK Death Metal Godfathers BENEDICTION.

What a venerable honour for this late end of a Friday evening. Tonight, I was very fortunate to have the opportunity to discuss upcoming LP Ravages of Empires (and so, so much more) with UK death metal godfathers Benediction’s guitarist and one of two founding members - Darren Brookes! A band that is hugely influential for much of the music we post here, as well as many bands I/we know and love. Great interview, plus the blog post also contains album order links, single music videos and more!
