It's been just over a week and I've already played the album more than The Book Of Souls. Lost In A Lost World is emerging as my favourite of Harry's new epics. Wholesale lifting of Moody Blues titles, here and on the next track, is noted. I haven't been into a new Maiden release this much...

I'll be at the Adelaide show. Obviously. Unlike '08 I have ways and means of travelling now, but I don't have to.

It was probably me. :) I've been a fan for five years now and also dig vocalist/bassist's Mariusz Duda's solo project Lunatic Soul. The Reality Dream trilogy (Out Of Myself, Second Life Syndrome and Rapid Eye Movement) takes me to some very odd and imaginative places. I've yet to figure out the...

Anyone heard these chaps? I got into them by chance a few months ago when I happened across this video on the Youtube. Their debut, Nocturnes And Requiems, is a pretty solid hour of old school metal with a hint of King Diamond-esque drama. Guitarist Jake Dreyer is also with Iced Earth, but...

Very broadly, a family tragedy that turns into a nightmare. This film will *wreck* you. I also recommend Searching. A solid, well-structured mystery with a ton of red herrings that earns bonus points for clever use of technology and social media as narrative devices. Well worth your time...

It's in English literature, more specifically about the body, transformation, gender and 'the other' from a disabled perspective in Clive Barker's short stories. Every English department I've dealt with so far has at least one token genre fiction person, who all either vanish or get rapped over...

Y'all need to hear this band if you haven't already. Think heavy Porcupine Tree meets the mellow side of Opeth with a generous helping of Pink Floyd at the height of their powers. 'We are pleased to announce that our upcoming seventh studio album “Wasteland” will be released via our longtime...

Hereditary is one of the best films I’ve watched in many a year, horror or otherwise. I’ve paid to see it three times, and I never do that for films not called Star Wars. The Nun is an entertaining little chase about in an Exorcist meets Indiana Jones sort of way. I like The Conjuring, but I...

If any of you have the 4 record set of Best Of The Beast, can you please tell me about the live version of Revelations on disc 3? Is it from Dortmund '83 or Live After Death and, if the latter, how has it been edited?

I'm looking for a supervisor for a Ph D project I've wanted to do since 2006, and have been knocked back or messed around by every uni I've approached. I'm very over people who promise me the Earth and don't deliver or disappear on leave for months at a time and can't be contacted. Why do I...

It Comes At Night, and I want my money back.

Homecoming is the best Spidey film since the second Tobey Maguire one. Peter was a bit 'gee whiz, Mr Stark!' at times, but it makes sense because this version of the character is barely fifteen. s p o i l e r s p a c e His desire to be part of The Avengers was a big concern for me. I'm glad...

Thanks to Nevermore for introducing me to this one.

As I said above, mainstream radio killed what interest I may once have had in The Doors. Quite recently, though, I've begun digging into some of their lesser known songs and I like what I hear. Not enough to rush and buy an album, but I can listen to and appreciate them today as I couldn't a...

A solid 3/5 to Alien: Covenant. Not entirely necessary, nor does it have the same impact as the first two films in the series, but I can think of far worse ways to spend a Saturday afternoon. It would work much better as a stand alone sci fi/horror because making it part of the Alien universe...
