Nov 18 Hemina - Night Echoes (2019) Excellent Australian prog metal, and this is probably my favourite albums of theirs. A concept album in a multi-album concept series, featuring huge vocal hooks & harmonies. #AusMusicMonth

Nov 25 Dyssidia - Costly Signals (2020) A wild ride of extreme prog metal that keeps you guessing, esp the vocals! Shares members with other features in this thread, Freedom of Fear & Hadal Maw, so you know they’ve got chops. Even better, they have a new album out this Friday! #AusMusicMonth

Definitely one of the best Progmetal albums of 2025 and certainly a contender for my AOTY top 10. Complex yet playful and catchy. Don't let the cover and title fool you. This is seriously good. #Primaluce #DarkMirrors

Ladies & germs this is how you write a progressive epic. @aeons-iom.bsky.social dropped a bomb on us this weekend. 6EQUJ5...roughly 23 minutes spanning genres & emotions with respect to the signal. Top class stuff by one of the best in the biz

Awesome music and review alert!

New Album Review 🎶🔥🤘 AEONS - 6EQUJ5 Isle of Man's Progmetal powerhouse AEONS are set to release their new opus, "6EQUJ5", on November 21st via Layered Reality Productions. Inspired by the WOW! signal, they take us on a stellar prog journey! Welcome to read more at mostly-metal.net/Aeons-6EQUJ5/

I haven't posted much over the last year or so as I haven't been in the best headspace and haven't felt I have much worth saying and well...that's probably still true but I figured it'd be fun to do some Aussie music posting again anyway 😊 A bit of catch-up posting, but will blast on from here

It's AusMusic month again. Last year was spontaneous and a bit random. This year, have planned ahead and will post and promote 30 Australian Metal bands you should check out. No particular order. Range of styles, all great live. Hope you find something you like 👊 #AusMusic #AusMetal #OzMetal #Metal

Gotta say Coroner not only delivered on the music, but the deluxe edition of Dissonance Theory was put together spectacularly There's pages of stories on the band's process & how the album came to be. And then disc 2 is the original Death Cult demo with @tomgabrielwarrior.bsky.social on vocals 🔥
