Fuck yes.

Are you listening to two albums at the same time, or just randomly posting album cover art in this thread?

Somewhat of a lackluster year in Aussie metal for me. I still need to check out the new Ignivomous album Hieroglossia. The new Tyrannic EP is not quite as good as Ethereal Sepulchre from last year unfortunately, but still some great riffs.
I think Will was experiencing some downtime because The Wizar'd has also been quiet for ages but is also suddenly back. Hopefully Tasmania will rise once again in 2020.

Australia in general has been relatively quiet. There's been quite a few bandcamp releases in multiple genres but none of them have been making that many waves. There is a few Aussie bands with international labels that are getting it to the masses but in general the numbers are low. Wasn't that long ago I read that one of the international labels (might have been Nuclear Blast) were setting up shop in Australia to try and harness some of the local talent but I've heard nothing since.
I suppose in hindsight this year hasn't been that different from last year, though I followed Australian metal releases a lot more closely this year than last. Noteworthy for me that a few bands had top-tier releases from last year and followed them up this year with music not as good (Tyrannic, Solemn Ceremony, Vile Apparition...) but I guess that's not that strange a thing to happen.
Oh well, I'll always have Volatile's dumb arse ockercore to keep me happy until the next good Aussie metal release in 2020.

I know they aren't to everyone's liking but King Gizzard are doing their bit for their homeland and releasing two live albums for $10 each. Proceeds from the Paris show go to Wildlife Victoria and proceeds from Live in Adelaide got to Animals Australia
