FROM ASHES TO NEW – Adelaide
A sell-out crowd, a fired-up band, a setlist of crowd favourites, sing-alongs, circle pits, chanting, smoke jets, hands in the air. I guess you could say the gig had it all. Lion Arts Factory in Adelaide was the scene, FROM ASHES TO NEW
was the band. It was their first visit to Adelaide and I am certain it won’t be their last.

Album Of The Week – IRONFLAME – ‘Worlds To Conquer’
This is a cool album, a more traditional style which takes me back to when I got into Metal in the first place.
