Bloody hell, what an amazing gig at Max Watts House of Music! However, we were met with some sad news upon finding out that “Wheel” were unable to perform. James had flu symptoms which worsened, leading to the loss of his voice. We were informed of this prior to the event, with a statement from the band.
“𝑴𝒆𝒍𝒃𝒐𝒖𝒓𝒏𝒆, 𝒘𝒆 𝒂𝒓𝒆 𝒃𝒆𝒚𝒐𝒏𝒅 𝒅𝒊𝒔𝒂𝒑𝒑𝒐𝒊𝒏𝒕𝒆𝒅 𝒕𝒐 𝒊𝒏𝒇𝒐𝒓𝒎 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒕𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒘𝒆 𝒘𝒊𝒍𝒍 𝒏𝒐𝒕 𝒃𝒆 𝒂𝒃𝒍𝒆 𝒕𝒐 𝒑𝒆𝒓𝒇𝒐𝒓𝒎 𝒕𝒐𝒏𝒊𝒈𝒉𝒕.

The night kicked off with an artist I hadn’t heard of before, but I’m glad I have now. Keyan Houshmand, an amazing guitarist from Adelaide, took the stage with his bass player and drummer. These guys blew me away from the moment they started playing. The crowd was captivated by Keyan’s guitar skills; it was a mesmerizing moment.
As their set list progressed, the sound enveloped the crowd, earning massive applause and appreciation for the trio’s talent. This is a band I would love to see again and again. I can’t wait to hear what they come up with next
After returning from their American tour, Caligula’s Horse from Brisbane opened their set with ‘The World Breathes With Me’ from their newly released album ‘Charcoal Grace.’ Sam stepped onto the stage with his ruby red guitar, a fitting choice as the band expressed their appreciation of being home. I couldn’t help but note the fittingness of the moment, remarking to those around me that ‘there’s no place like home.’
The evening was filled with laughter as some audience members engaged in witty banter with Jim. Comments like ‘you fucking nailed it’ and ‘you should play the whole album’ which was met with laughter and banter from Jim, creating a lively and enjoyable atmosphere. One memorable moment was when Jim humorously remarked, ‘imagine going to a gig, pointing at one of the members until you get their attention, and just saying she knows.’ His sense of humour added to the fun of the show.
The band curated their set list spanning through the years, with a highlight for me being 2015 when they performed ‘Bloom,’ which transitioned into ‘Marigold.’ ‘Marigold’ was the song that initially introduced me to this band, and hearing it live for the first time gave me goose bumps.
Caligula’s Horse delivered an unforgettable set, igniting the crowd with their smooth movements and captivating music. The atmosphere was electric, with screams of excitement filling the air. Closing the show with ‘Daughter of the Mountain,’ Jim’s vocals sent shivers down my spine, leaving me in awe of his talent.
Reflecting on the evening fills me with gratitude for such an incredible experience. It was a night to remember, filled with unforgettable music and moments that will stay with me forever.
The performances were truly spectacular, keeping the crowd on their feet and engaged throughout. The event was impeccably organized, adding to the seamless and immersive experience.
In all, it surpassed all expectations, leaving me with cherished memories and a yearning to relive the magic of that night again and again.
Thanks to the Max Watts crew for having us and a special thanks to the good people at Destroy All Lines arranging media access.

Perth locals Xenobiotic opened the evening with a drum-heavy chaotic bang, bringing everything they had and leaving it all out on the stage. The lead vocalist stood on the centre platform with outstretched arms, looming over the crowd while the guitarist’s head banged behind him. By the third track, the room was full and buzzing. He Who Dwells in Grime from 2018’s first full-length album Prometheus was introduced as ‘We don’t play this often but we want to see some heads snap!’. They brought everything they had for the set and left it all out on the stage, closing with Saphris from 2020’s Mordrake.
Revocation was up next performing as a tight trio with the sound of a satanic orchestra. Fans in the audience, which included musicians from many local metal bands, looked on in sheer amazement with horns held high at every extremely technical albeit wailing guitar solo performed by the absolute weapon that is David Davidson. From their latest and well-received 2022 release album Netherheaven, they played Diabolical Majesty, Nihilistic Violence, and Lessons in Occult Theft all of which sparked some righteous head banging from the room. In addition, Revocation blasted our ears with a couple of tracks from their seventh studio album The Outer Ones including the title track and Of Unworldly Origin which started a circle pit around The Corner’s infamous pole. Teratogenesis from the band’s second EP released in 2012 was dedicated to the ‘Suffo boys’, as David put it, while Godforsaken was dedicated to ‘All my heavy metal demons in the pit’. There wasn’t a single track that didn’t satisfy the mob. The set ended with the band getting a pic with the audience taken by our very own EM photographer Mitch.
An ominous blue light leaked onto an empty stage while the prelude played. One by one, the members of Suffocation came out and acknowledged the audience with devil horns and outstretched arms while the crowd cheered in kind. Without delay, we were thrown straight into Seraphim Enslavement from the band’s latest album. Also showcased from the 2023 album release were Dim Veil of Obscurity, Perpetual Deception, and the title track Hymns From the Apocrypha which vocalist Ricky Myers respectfully dedicated to Leeway’s frontman Eddie Sutton who died mere days prior to the performance after a battle with lung cancer. Our ears and the mosh pit barely rested as they kept things going with an onslaught of early tracks from their second studio album Breeding the Spawn released back in 1993, Pierced from Within was the title track and Thrones of Blood and from way back in 1991 was the first song that Suffocation ever wrote Catatonia, which was released in the debut EP Human Waste. The brutality concluded with the room crowd surfing and moshing to 1991’s Liege of Inveracity and Infecting the Crypts proving that after 9 years since Suffocation last performed live in Australia, they still go strong.

Cover shot – ORGY
Korn‘s Jonathan Davis was so excited by ORGY that he created his own record label in order to sign them and fund their debut album. Not to be outdone, Limp Bizkit‘s Fred Durst discovered a very young COLD and threw his considerable weight behind them.
Both Nu Metal giants’ intuitions were well vindicated when Orgy‘s groundbreaking and revolutionary Candyass and Cold’s incredible 13 Ways To Bleed and Year Of The Spider albums all became absolute classics of the era, going on to collectively sell five million copies worldwide and putting a few more Platinum and Gold records on the walls of Mr. Davis & Mr. Durst!
Led by charismatic front man Jay Gordon, Orgy earned a well-deserved reputation as one of alt-rock’s most forward-thinking and dynamic bands. With a sound defined by catchy hooks, powerful guitar riffs and throbbing electronic beats, Orgy have cultivated a devoted fanbase and remain a major force thanks to their electrifying live performances and irresistible intensity.
Cold achieved major success with the album 13 Ways To Bleed On Stage and the follow up album Year Of The Spider only picked up the pace spawning smash singles ‘Stupid Girl’ and ‘Suffocate’. They are renowned for their emotionally charged lyrics and deep connection with their fans, who are dubbed the “Cold Army’’.
The dynamic collaboration of the two highly influential bands will see them perform in Australia for the first time for three unforgettable shows.

Thursday night EM headed to the Prince Bandroom in St Kilda for the Gatecreeper tour with performances by Kruelty and World of Joy. As entertaining as the previous night was with Bring Me the Horizons sensory overload at John Cain Arena, I was definitely looking forward to being cloaked in darkness, obliterated by some dank and doomy death metal. What can I say? It just speaks to my goddamned soul.
As I ascended the stairs inside The Prince Hotel I heard the blasting death metal of Gutless who joined the tour as the local support for the Melbourne leg of the tour. Like a moth to a flame, I led myself straight to the front to cop a face full. Gutless received multiple shoutouts from the tour lineup. I spotted members of Kruelty watching from the sidelines, nodding in approval.
As World of Joy took the stage, the room filled with more bodies, but space was purposefully left on the floor for the psycho crowd killers. The five-piece hardcore band from Brisbane produced a massively entertaining set. The stage was open to all, two steppers taking turns, stepping up to launch themselves into the crowd. Fun was had by all.
By the time Kruelty came out the room was at full capacity, one mosher launched off the stage as Kruelty launched into a face melting set. Between the guttural growls, the vocalist addressed the mob of fans in his thick Japanese accent, ‘We are all the way here from Tokyo. Show us something crazy’. The chugginess and the proficiently curated tempo changes were particularly satisfying. ‘If you’re going more, you’re gonna be mad cunt. If you’re going less you’re gonna be a shit cunt’.
Gatecreeper, all the way from Phoenix Arizona, were headlining this tour and with the old-school metal vibes they were exuding it made sense they invited all the headbangers to the front ‘Headbangers…. Report for duty’ in order to close the gap that had previously been carved out for the hardcore kids. One beastly guitarist loomed over the crowd, death staring as he enjoined the fans to ignite a circle pit, before the entire band headbanged in unison. The pit erupted for Craving Flesh from 2016’s Sonoran Depravation and From the Ashes released in 2019 was dedicated to all the first-timers in the audience. After playing the track The Black Curtain, released just this year on the album of the same name, they performed Oblivion which has yet to be released online. Before finishing up the set Gatecreeper assured us they’ll be back again soon. Not hating that.

Due to a completely sold-out show at Rod Laver Arena, the Bring Me the Horizon Down Under Tour decided to add another night at the smaller John Cain Arena which was the first stop on the tour. Joining them were Daine, Make Them Suffer and Sleep Token.
The delightful Daine used her sickly sweet autotuned vocals to entertain the first concertgoers through the doors. The Gelfling-like girl performed a few singles including Doom, Cut My Heart Out and what I’m sure the crowd was hanging out for, Salt, which featured the Bring Me the Horizon frontman Oli Sykes who joined Daine on stage for the duet.
Make Them Suffer energised the room with a tight set including Ghost of Me, the super heavy Hollowed Heart, Ether, where the crowd with outstretched arms swayed side to side, the live debut of Epitaph and Doomswitch which properly woke up the mosh pit.
Sleep Token graced the stage in Melbourne for their first live offering of 2024 adorned with their newest iteration of masks. The vessels moved with fluidity, like spirits haunting the stage. Their devoted following cheered through the set, euphoric over the first tracks The Offering and The Summoning where Vessel bowed down in worship to II during the drum solo. Vore ignited the crowd to peak veneration but before completion, the sleepy boys played Take Me Back To Eden which only recently had been added to their setlist.
Bring Me the Horizon set out to give their fans one of the best nights of their lives, and you have to hand it to them, they put on a phenomenal show that would entertain anyone, fan or not. Intricate stage effects exhilarated the audience incorporating fire machines, confetti cannons and CO2 jets that harmonised with the slew of hits throughout the monstrous set. We were welcomed into the performance by the animated avatar E.V.E that appeared on the massive digital displays to the sides of the stage. The comical video game graphics followed a narrative that led us through singles mainly from the 2020 album release Post Human: Survival Horror and their newly released album POST HUMAN: NeX GEn.
Stained glass church windows lit up the backdrop and platforms while confetti rained down on the arena as Bring Me the Horizon launched into DArkSide. We watched the progression of the church windows as they transformed from stormy weather to fiery flames during Empire (Let Them Sing), MANTRA, Teardrops and AmEn! until the winged and blood-splattered Project Angeldust from Kool-Aid smashed through the church walls before disintegrating, leaving the stage empty and cold. Snowflakes fell from the sky and smoke billowed from the platform, Oli stood alone, holding up a flare. The entire crowd fist-pumped along to Shadow Moses.
The whole night Oli sauntered back and forth working the stage hard, but he worked the crowd even harder, ‘I wanna see every single cunt here jumping. Off ya feet!’. Not that his adoring fans needed much instigation, all throughout the set crowd members could be heard shouting ‘I LOVE YOU OLI’ and the pit rarely rested as the moshers circled, jumped and surfed while singing along to every single track.
As the night progressed the performance became inexplicably more entertaining. Green strobes blanketed the darkness during Kingslayer, and for the acoustic track sTraNgeRs, members of the mosh were invited to find a set of shoulders to climb up on as the arena sparkled with the twinkling of fans torches. Before Parasite Eve, BMTH took it back a few years to their golden oldies with 2008’s Diamonds Aren’t Forever from Suicide Season to which Oli quipped ‘Thank god that’s over’. A lucky fan named Charlie from the front row was selected to join Oli on stage to sing Antivist with him, and to the delight of the crowd, Charlie killed it, giving Oli’s growls a run for their money. The crowd involvement continued with Drown where Oli stepped down into the pit with a selfie camera, filming himself hugging and singing alongside his ecstatic fans.
Can You Feel My Heart was dedicated to all the support bands on the tour ‘If you don’t jump you’re a certified knobhead’ hollered Oli and the room electrified as canons exploded multicoloured confetti over the tops of head-banging fans. The band encored with the tracks Doomed, LosT and Throne as everyone got up out of their seats and pushed up against the barriers. The night was a feast of visual effects and audible joy, I can’t even imagine what they have planned for lucky ticket holders of the main event at Rod Laver Arena. Enjoy!
Huge thank the the John Cain Arena crew fro having us and a special thanks to Dallas Does PR for arranging media access.

Cover shot – BLACK RHENO
Sydney’s heavy groove merchants, Black Rheno, are gearing up for a massive East Coast tour this May with a lineup of killer support acts just announced. Black Rheno is currently riding high, having recently journeyed to Austin, Texas, to record a new album with heavyweight rock/metal producer “Machine the Producer” (known for his work with bands like Clutch, Every Time I Die, Lamb Of God and more). They also recently had the honour of supporting one of heavy metal’s most influential and iconic bands, PANTERA at Adelaide Entertainment Centre.
Receiving rave reviews across the board from their excursion with Pantera, Black Rheno delivered an electrifying opening performance of the night, showcasing the high-octane live show they are renowned for. Later that evening, members of Black Rheno and King Parrot joined Pantera on stage, contributing gang vocals to the legendary tune “Walk.” It was a true celebration of the heavy grooves we have all grown up with and a unifying moment for fans, bands, and everyone involved.
While there is no official release date for the new Black Rheno record yet, anticipation is building. However, the band can’t wait and is eager to hit the road again after too long a hiatus between tours. Still energised from their monumental experience supporting Pantera, Black Rheno will be bringing their full-blown audio assault to venues across the East Coast this May. Fans can expect a sneak peek of new tunes from the upcoming record during these shows too.
The tour promises to be a series of epic heavy metal parties, with a lineup of support acts spanning various styles within the heavy music realm. From start to finish, this is going to be one wild tour, with intimate venues, killer lineups, and a reputation for insanity. These shows are set to be red hot, so securing tickets early is highly recommended.

Cover shot – WARDRUNA
Norwegian music constellation Wardruna, renowned for their innovative and genre-creating renditions of Norse traditions announce their highly anticipated debut tour of Australia and New Zealand in January 2025.

The new song is steeped in Wardruna tradition exploring the duality of the heart with the rhythm, flow and pulse we can see, hear, and feel in nature and in all forms of life.
Whilst Wardruna fans eagerly await this momentous occasion of their debut tour down under, composer Einar Selvik shares their excitement;
“It is always a special feeling to plan and announce a new tour. This time, perhaps more so than usual due to the fact that we are visiting quite a few parts of the world where we have yet not performed with Wardruna. We greatly look forward to the chance to make new bonds in new lands“
