2025/11/12

Entering album number ten, the all-encompassing sonic realm inhabited by Swedish musical enigma Avatar looked set to face the band's biggest personal hurdle to date. Very much a band who have proudly proclaimed their intention to maintain musical growth from day one, Avatar were forced to confront the critical and commercial success of the wildly entertaining album Dance Devil Dance. While most bands would welcome such success, it also forced Avatar to take stock of their music and career.This is a

The main common thread that ties music and comedy together is timing, not that it works every time. While there and many - some would say the majority - of musicians out there who THINK they are funny, once the alcohol and/or adrenaline wears off, what they thought funny 20 minutes ago is suddenly now lame at best.But occasionally the transition between two very different forms of artists' works seamlessly. Artists like Weird 'Al' Yankovic, Stephen Lynch and Jack Black spring immediately to mind

Interview by Angela CroudaceHalf a century on from his Rabbit days and even longer since fronting the very first line-up of AC/DC, Dave Evans hasn’t slowed down one bit. Celebrating 50 years of Rabbit with the new album Defenders of Rock, the self-proclaimed “King of All Badasses” still lives by the mantra: every song a killer, no song a filler.Speaking to us from Mexico, Evans radiates the same unstoppable energy that’s defined his career. “I’m lucky I went solo years ago,” he says. “I can record

For a man who has been there and pretty much done it all in the Australian music industry, Mark Lizotte - or Diesel to his friends - is one hell of a humble guy.First snapping necks with Johnny Diesel & The Injectors in the mid to late 1980s, the 90s saw Diesel launch a solo career that has seen his career progress in a steady trajectory that is a testament to the workman-like way in which he goes about his business. Singer, guitarist, producer and multi-instrumentalist, Diesel has mastered all

Metal For Breakfast With VOX REALIS

2025/11/08

While most kids are out and about trying to think up what trouble they could possibly get into, 13-year-old Vox Realis was indoors, practising his guitar. Ever since picking up his first guitar at just 7 years of age, Realis has ploughed all of his time and energy into mastering the instrument, earning the praise and subsequent guidance of Kiko Loureiro (Megadeth, Angra) along the way, who saw something special in the aspiring musician. Not content to merely practice for himself, Realis started the

Musical Closure With MATT FLOOD From CASKETS

2025/11/07

For most bands, album number two is make-or-break time. The general consensus is that a band's debut album is their easiest, taking into account things like no pressure as an unknown band and having a larger amount of time to come up with material and draw from their well of music.But the dreaded sophomore album - especially if the debut is a raging success - is usually the one by which a band is judged. And more than you think fail. There's a multitude of reasons and excuses for this, but we are

It's a great sign in the modern music scene in Australia that there are still festivals in this country that feature exclusively homegrown bands. It is a testament to the quality of music at our disposal, and also just reward for Australian bands who are able to be showcased in their own right.One such festival is Metal In The Mountains, which is set to go down in Beechworth Historic Precinct on November 29. Featuring Frankenbok, In Malices Wake, Goat Sharman, Whisperhead, Saralisse, ESP Mayhem,

A Decade Of Maturity With SCOTT ANDERSON From FINGER...

2025/11/06

Ten years is a long time in music, especially when you take into account the changes in the music industry, which magnify with each passing year. When a band decides to have a break from making music for that amount of time, the temptation to try and amalgamate the changes over that period into their music would be huge, even if that band has an established, existing fan base of international acclaim.But when Toronto-based rock outfit Finger Eleven sat down to write and record their new album Last

Opening Fresh Wounds With RAY MACDONALD From 200 STAB...

2025/11/03

The world of death metal is relentless and unforgiving, with hardcore fans renowned for their refusal to have pity nor understanding for anything that isn't pure of metal. As such, new bands to the fold face a literal baptism of fire with no quarter given, and certainly none taken. Put simply, you either impress from the very get-go or you get gone. Simple as that.Which is what has made 200 Stab Wounds' rapid ascension up the metaphorical metal ladder all the more impressive. In just six years, the

New Zealand sludge/psych metal outfit Beastwars have been dominating the metal landscape ever since unleashing their self-titled debut album in 2011. Defying trends and convention, each subsequent album was just as good as, if not better than, the last, ensuring Beastwars maintained that elusive edge in a genre becoming more cluttered with each passing day.Along the way, they have experimented with progressive rock elements, but for their upcoming sixth studio album, The Ship/The Sea, Beastwars have

2025/11/02

For almost a decade, Melbourne alternative rockers Bad Juju have walked the tightrope between various genres, unafraid to experiment within or outside of their comfort zone.With a unique blending of 90’s grunge, 00’s nu metal and modern hardcore, the band have opened up differing sides to their musical psyche with every release, and have done so again on their most recent EP, Simulacra. The release draws inspiration from the concept of simulacra and simulation, and explores the distortion of reality

Taking Out The Trash With BUTCH VIG From GARBAGE

HEAVY Music Interviews ·

2025/10/31

The 1990s were a turbulent time for music. The advent of gentrification began in earnest as strains and side strains of sidestrains of different sounds came together to supposedly enhance our listening pleasure. Newer styles- or genres if you will - of music materialised almost before our ears, and all of a sudden phrases like grunge and alternative rock/metal were being bandied about as though the very passing of those words through your lips gave you a greater natural aura than all else around

After establishing themselves as serious contenders in the ever-growing Australian music landscape with their 2024 EP Requiem, Melbourne hard rock outfit The Last Martyr seemingly went into their shells, still playing the odd show but failing to release more new music to deliver the knockout blow.It was ultimately a combination of many different factors of life and music that stood as a buffer between maintaining momentum and walking the tightrope of everyday life, but if the absolute carnage that

Electro metal group Solence frontman Markus Videsäter caught up with HEAVY's Ali Williams to chat about their upcoming release, Angels Calling, and the inevitable album tour. Originally from LA, these guys are now settled in Sweden in the hope of optimising their expansion. Solence formed back in 2012 and had initially released tracks in increments in a build-up to their first album, Brothers, back in 2019.The success they saw from this catapulted them into the algorithm, which meant Spotify was

Involuntary Shutdown With LINK From THE MEANIES

Certain things in this world should always be spoken in the same breath. Be it respect, acceptance or merely just because that's the way it has always been, some things you just don't mess with. Like a pie and tomato sauce, a Tim Tam straw, bacon and eggs, and The Meanies and Australian music.It seems The Meanies can't ever put a foot wrong, even when it comes to apathetically releasing a song recorded 25 years ago that just happens to have worked its way to the surface, although, admittedly they

At a time when much of the music industry was still finding its feet after the rapid emergence of alternative rock, Sydney up-and-comers The Clouds took a different approach. Rather than grow with the music trend that was sweeping the country, they decided to get ahead of the curve by expanding on what was, in the 1990s, a sound still very much in development.Coming together towards the end of 1989, The Clouds quickly stamped their own class on the Australian music scene, playing by no rules except

Melbourne rock/metal outfit To Octavia have shown their hand early in their career, resisting the temptation to follow in the path of easier acceptance in preference for staying true to their art.With the breakout success of their EP Somewhere In A World, Not Of The Dream, it would have been tempting and sensible to rehash the same winning formula for their debut album Melodrama. Their sound had obviously struck a chord with the music-loving public, and more of the same would have likely instantly

A Blending Of Cultures With KALANDRA

2025/10/28

Norse folk music has always been a more than handy bedfellow with metal music. Despite the obvious sonic contrasts between the two, they seem to combine well with each other, providing an unsettling ambience that could potentially veer into darker territory at any given moment.While Kalandra - spearheaded by four Norwegian and Swedish musicians - make use of these Nordic elements, they also create a sonic tapestry laced with progressive rock and pop sensibilities that is both intimate and consuming
