    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

    “Metal Braai” hits RAMfest Cape Town

    We put our heads together in 2011 already to think about how we could get the best festival experience possible and pitched it to the RAMfest organizers. They agreed that this is what metalheads would want, and so at RAMfest 2012 we teamed up with them and put it to the test. For those of you who camped over the night before In Flames, you will recall the fun and debauchery of the M4A Tent, with Andy ("DJ Bearded Bastard") on the decks and the flowing rivers of beer. This year we are bringing this concept back; but only better!

    Lord Doom’s Top 10 Albums of 2012

    This list is late. In fact, this list is horribly late! We're already nearly two weeks into 2013 and here I am still obsessing over which albums made the cut. To be honest, I was waiting for the end of the world around December 21st and

    Wildernessking’s Summer Séance

    Never let it be said that the South African music scene is not diverse. While it is commonplace for everybody to stick to their specific cliques, attending exclusively genred gigs at venues tailored to that specific style of music, there is occasionally some cross-pollenation. Most prominent have been the sporadic Punk Vs. Metal shows that have waned in frequency since their heyday in the early 2000s

    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

    The Fire in Hell Never Goes Out – Strage Interview

    It is in this world that the instrumental doom bandSTRAGE, fueled by DIY ethics and influenced by bands like Cult of Luna, Pelican and Isis, ventured out to create music void of egos and to record and self-release their debut EP The Fire in Hell as a limited edition CD as well as a free download. I recently had the opportunity to chat to Brandon, Jono and Matt about all things STRAGE and their upcoming Cape Town shows at the end of October

    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

    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

    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

    Flashback Friday: The Horror Cast – Werewolves

    For a lot of the twenty-something metalheads in Cape Town today, The Horror Cast was an integral part of the scene during the late 2000′s when metal was finding its feet again. Amidst the slew of punk and ska bands that made up the alternative underground at the time, The Horror Cast burst out with
