All I Seek - Single Review: Envy
05 Aug 2022 // A review by River Tucker
More than just a progressive Metal band, All I Seek have coalesced many of the best Alt Metal styles around, including at times Melodic Death (with a slight Djent edge) into their rip-roaring third single, Envy.
This massive four-minute track fills a gap in New Zealand’s current progressive Metal scene and the juxtaposition of the songs uplifting message, delivered during mid-winter, makes it a very well timed release.
Somewhat reminiscent of Living Colour’s Corey Glover, lead singer James S Gill’s perfect pitch, trailing vibrato and formidable power is the glue that sticks this track together. To say that he can hold a tune is a complete understatement.
For a band with four guitarists, All I Seek certainly knows how to create space. This is great for building anticipation into Envy’s formidable and memorable choruses. A first-rate arrangement combined with a perfect mix shows that these five guys from Wellington are onto a winning combo.
Delivering a broad wall of sound that every good Metal band should be seeking, Envy ticks all the boxes. Make sure you check it out today.

Following on from a successful show at Homegrown, Devilskin has embarked on their much-anticipated nationwide Let Me Breathe tour, brought to you by The Rock, after a short hiatus that, if anything, has made their current shows all the more sweet.

28 Feb 2023 // by River Tucker
Bad Schematics have hit the road running with a small tour and a couple of promo videos made in support of their debut EP, Keep Your Gods. It’s a rip-roaring release somewhat influenced by early 2000 American Emo rock, embellished with touches of Nu-Metal and high-energy Alt Rock, which delivers a sound they can proudly call all their own.
