Mad About Rock

  You aren’t ready for this! Aussie extreme metal cohort King Parrot, will be returning to European and UK shores, bringing their no holds barred, off kilter live experience in September, supporting their new album “A Young Person’s Guide To King Parrot”. The last time we welcomed the quietus quartet, they were decimating stadiums nationwide and all over Europe opening for Pantera and Power Trip in 2025. In the summer of 2026, the boys from down under are excited to announce their return with a late summer run of headline shows all over Europe and the UK. The new album has received a rousing reception by the metal community with tracks like “Fuck You and the Horse You Rode In On” and “It’s A Rort” and their accompanying videos being lapped up by old and new fans alike. King Parrot recently completed a monstrous 39 date US tour alongside Gwar and Soulfly and are firing on all cylinders leading up to their return to the UK and Europe.

Australia’s Death Metallers Nemesium launches lyric video for track 'Boundaryless'. Check out the video below: Nemesium frontman comments : Written about our mate Xak Boundary who sadly passed, who lived and breathed Mad Max. It tells a story of his travels in the apocalyptic world. The song is taken from debut album "Continua", set for release June 12th 2020 through Black Lion Records. The album represents a true hybrid of all corners of extreme music, channeling various stylings from old school and modern death metal to the darkest melodic black metal from the 90's Scandinavian scene. "Continua" tells a series of tales about torturous struggle, transition into a new age and the decimation of the world as it currently exists to the background of an unrelenting and sonically crushing soundtrack. Out June 12th 2020 on CD, LP & digital format. https://www.facebook.com/NemesiumOfficial/

I catch up with fresh metal quintet from Perth, Australia, Patient Sixty-Seven who blend the best parts of metal and rock genres to create their own sound. I ask about their origins, what they are currently working on and what lies ahead for the future. So be sure to read on and check out their compelling and electrifying metal... Great band name, is this referring to Shutter Island? Can you tell us a bit about it and how you arrived at this? For sure! And thank you - the title is indeed a reference to Shutter Island. To tell you the truth, the name sort of came about one day while the band was in its early stages. It’s a favourite movie of mine, and the name honestly just stuck straight away haha - I kind of threw it out there as suggestion to our guitarist Dylan and he was like, yep - that’ll do. The name itself definitely represents a lot of incredible themes within the movie, and similar themes are covered in our music - such as self-reflection, deception and coming ...
