Take The Willing @ Bar Mode
26 Aug 2007 // A review by CEOMong
Me, Wifey & Bubba arrived at Bar Mode along with a multitude of metalheads and other unloved children just in time to witness one of the best metal bands my thrashed earholes have ever had the pleasure of hearing. And what’s more it was completely unexpected, which made it all the more engaging.
Billed as Blindspott’s support band, they instantly and completely warmed up the crowd with a staunch and abundant mix of crowd appeal, hard-grinding axes, and talent. From the moment the first power chord was pealed out across the masses gathered in witness, their souls were owned. Clean and energetic riffs, coupled with explosive and catchy lyrics provided an enrapturing and wholly not long enough set. They certainly left us wanting more.
I would, and shall, see these guys whenever and wherever they are playing, ideally as the lead act. See them. Every time and every where you can. They deserve to be #1.
Take Me, I’m Willing.

Bloodsport – Blackest Darkness Album Review
14 Aug 2012 // by CEOMong
Short (sub 2 minute for the most part) grunty songs, strong consistent themes and imagery, all in all a very solid offering. At times predictable but also, therefore, reliable.

Crimson Rain - Catastrophe Single Review
21 Jun 2012 // by CEOMong
Delicate intro, rolls into a picky soft hook. Nice vox harmonies throughout.

Sinate - To The Death Album Review
14 Mar 2012 // by CEOMong
Damn I’m impressed, this is one cool album – especially as loud as I have it right now. I consider myself lucky to have the privilege to hear something like this, and it’s from Kiwis!

The House Of Capricorn - In The Devil's Days Album Review
28 Nov 2011 // by CEOMong
At first I didn’t know what to say about the newest offering from the cloven hoofed ones, but the more I listen the more I have to say. I really like it, I’m not 100% sure why, there’s lots to like but nothing I can nail down ...

Akaname Album Review
01 Nov 2011 // by CEOMong
I must say it's rather refreshing to hear an album like this, some real inventive action, and not a single word spoken by a vocalist. Amazing.

Darklight Corporation - Pitchblack Album Review
25 Jul 2011 // by CEOMong
Darklight Corporation have packed a fuckload of wicked awesome rocking riffs and varied, yet simple and appropriately-audible lyrics, cool chewy samples and electronic bits strewn in just the right places to keep you guessing – there’s a little bit of everything in here. Not too much of one thing, nor too pushy and repetitive like sooooo many bands these days – varied enough you could listen to this album dozens of times and still not hear everything.

Crimson Rain - Why Single Review
06 Jun 2011 // by CEOMong
Presumably the remixed/revised/newest version of 'Why', as featured on the EP 'One By One'. It’s similar in just about every way; however the original for me is superior.
