    Seasons in the Liquid Abyss

    Go out on almost any night in Cape Town and you're sure to find live bands playing somewhere. And if it's not indie rock, then it's probably metal! Live gigs have become something of a convenience for many metalheads, where the lure of seeing their favourite locals bands on stage is completely shattered by the sheer saturation of events. There's always the comfort that the same band will probably be playing the same venue next month and so (in my personal experience) support for live events has begun to wane

    Gig Review: Wildernessking, Strage and Past Haunts

    I had a feeling that this ROAR gig would be a particularly interesting one, since I hadn’t experienced the kind of music two of the bands (Past Haunts and STRAGE) play live before, and Past Haunts were performing live for the first time

    Wildernessking Cross Their Rubicon With A New Performance Video

    If you have been reading this site for any length of time, you will know that Wildernessking are a band I could go on about for ages. I really feel they are one of the hardest working, most talented bands on the continent, not to mention being great sports when it comes to interviews! The dust has barely settled on the release of their latest single, ...And the Night Swept Us Away and they have already released a music video for

    Wildernessking Release And The Night Swept Us Away

    Good things come to those who wait, and in spite of a two month delay (originally slated for April 2012), the Cape Town black metal quartet, Wildernessking have released their new EP, And the Night Swept Us Away

    Lelahell – Al Intihar Review

    Metal as a musical genre is one of the few that is often described (and derived) by location. Swedish Death Metal, Bay Area Thrash and Norwegian Black Metal are all immediately identifiable by their location, even when coming from surrounding regions, and this geographical distinction often shapes the bands surrounding the progenitors. This phenomenon affects

    Wildernessking Unveil Artwork For “…And the Night Swept Us Away”

    With the release of their debut The Writing of Gods in the Sand only weeks behind them, Cape Town’s Wildernessking are already gearing up to release a follow up single, entitled …And the Night Swept Us Away. The single features beautiful hand drawn art by Stephen Green and contains three tracks, including two brand new

    Gig Review – Emalyth’s Masque of Comus

    “Comus, the Greek God of Revelry and Festive Mirth, son of Bacchus, lord of Chaos and Anarchy, join us on this carousel of carnivalesque debauchery. An occasion of over indulgence and excess awaits…” These are the words by which Emalyth’s first big event of 2012 was presented to us metal heads, necks itching for a

    Summerfest ’12 in Review – Part 2

    Read Part 1 of our Summerfest review here. A strange thing happened at around 20:40. Stellitius did a quick soundcheck and then… they disappeared! They didn’t actually play and were replaced last minute by the now infamous Anonymous! I can’t complain too much about the change, as they knew all of Stellitius’ material. They were

    Antithetic Records Launches Fundraiser for Wildernessking Album

    On Friday, US label Antithetic Records initiated a fundraiser for the Wildernessking double vinyl release of The Writing of Gods in the Sand. Let’s face it, times are tough. Especially when it comes to running a small record label. We’ve had some really great releases so far, but when sales start to slow, so does
