Excerpts From a Future Past
by Hällas
Hällas is the prog rock band we've been waiting for. Very few bands pull off being both deep and catchy but these guys nail it. Like Wishbone Ash on a video game quest. Stunning.

The Occultation Of Light
by Mondo Drag
It's so rad to be good friends with musicians you truly admire. We love walking by MD's practice space and hear them craft their breathtaking tunes. This album rips. Can't wait for the next one dudes.

Modern Kicks for the Solitary Witch
by Rough Spells
A new ripping coven has emerged from the Great North and they're called "Rough Spells". Some of the most magnificent doom rock we've heard in a long time. Can't wait to play a show with these folks.

Times of Obscene Evil and Wild Daring
by Smoulder
supported by 67 fans who also own “California Burnin'”
If Elric had a soundtrack it would be this. It's everything you want from a epic metal album. Like a hot poker in the eye, but in a good way.

So I can't leave a long enough review to say everything I want. But I will say this, I love this EP. It's a great little follow up to times, and has just enough of a dynamic shift in sound to prove that Smoulder isn't a one trick pony with their first album's formula. This one really plays up the 70s prog aspects (DUST and Manilla Road influences definitely shine through even harder here). It's still Smoulder, don't get me wrong. Just a different side in some ways, all of which are good.

Strange, Strange Times
by The Ugly Kings
Combining crooned murder ballads with raw, angsty hard rock hooks, Melbourne's The Ugly Kings are a wrecking crew well worth watching.
