Native James - On Confessions of a Sinner
On his day off from The Confessions of a Sinner tour, NATIVE JAMES sat down to take stock of the rapid recognition of his sound, being a vehicle for making memories and using music as a mode of community. “We were able to do two stages in one day, got an encore the first time on the second stage”, he told OOR when the conversation turned to their double Glastonbury sets this year. “We weren't expecting the love we were gonna get.” Photo: Cameron Dickson He continues, “That
MILITARIE GUN: On collapse and confidence with God Save The Gun
On the third floor of Bread & Butter, the iconic Shoreditch café in London, Ian Shelton , frontman of MILITARIE GUN , leans back and smiles. There’s a calm to him that contrasts the turbulence behind the band’s latest record, God Save The Gun —a project that’s unflinchingly human, darkly honest, and, at times, surprisingly funny. Shelton has spent the past three years crafting the album, wrestling with addiction, trauma, and cycles of self-destruction, all while trying to

ALBUM REVIEWS
REVIEW: Morke - To Carry On
The nine-song release To Carry On is MORKE ’s most ambitious release to date, as WING ’s style continues to shift from atmospheric black metal to more melodic, medieval-inspired sound, or as the artist himself likes to call it, “Castle Metal”. Featuring intricate soundscapes that are primarily composed of distorted guitars, fast-speed snare and raw screams, the songs do not necessarily blend into each other, yet the flow of the melody makes it feel like they do.

REVIEW: Testament - Para Bellum
With their reigning position in the 'Big eight of thrash metal' and over forty years on the scene, it is no surprise that TESTAMENT only gains more and more popularity amongst the metal fans. With the current line-up of ERIC PETERSON (guitars, backing vocals), ALEX SKOLNICK (guitars, backing vocals), CHUCK BILLY (lead vocals), STEVE DI GIORGIO (bass, backing vocals) and CHRIS DOVAS (drums), the band not only did multiple worldwide tours, with the recent one taking place
REVIEW: Kariti - Still Life
The term 'experimental' when applied to music can mean a whole host of different things, from being a little too outside of the box to fit in a more mainstream or better-known genre, or something completely nonsensical that could loosely be defined as music if you listened really hard. The newest album from KARITI sits in between those two definitions as an experimental, ambient, folksy record with some compositional choices that seem a little too out of left field to be enjo
REVIEW: Sex Mask - Body Broker
Aussie absurdists SEX MASK brood beautifully on their debut EP Body Broker , with angsty synths complimenting their raw lyrics that muse on the darker parts of life. Over four tracks, they introduce a gothic indie soundscape, seeped in 80s goth influence, creating the perfect soundtrack to a walk home when 4pm darkness starts to get into your head. Body Broker opens with lead single Cold , a pretty gothic track apparently written when vocalist WRY GRAY was hospitalised af
