Megalodon: The Prophets of Dark Science
From the idyllic setting of a traditionally styled English pub, located near South Africa's Cape Town, we set out on an unlikely journey to explore vast expanses of uncharted science and cosmic mystique. My travel companions included Ruan Jordaan (guitarist) and Thomas Theron (vocalist) of the city's eight-stringed metal phenomenon, Megalodon. With the launch of their debut album only days away, it was time to learn more about the bands origins and to discover what energies have driven Ruan, Thomas, and their band mates, to this point in time and space

Megalodon – Darkness in Sonance Review
Megalodon offers a unique alternative to the long-standing South African sausage-machine production.

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

The Beat Returns – Axxon
The South African metal scene is often criticised for being too samey and lacking the innovation that has characterised the (admittedly, much larger) European and American scenes. Trends come and go, with bandwagons often full to overflowing with groups hoping to become the "next big thing" on everyones lips and it takes a certain amount of vision to fly in the face of this to make the music that you want to hear

All About Taboo – Bloodbeast
In March this year, death metal fans in South Africa were treated with the second Detonation Tour hosted by Valgar Entertainment, featuring the Italian band Fleshgod Apocalypse alongside a slew of local extreme acts.
