From the archives: ZOMBI show preview from 2005
Reading Steve Earles’ awesome review of the John Carpenter film score retrospective has sent me on a musical journey this weekend, dealing primiarily with horror music soundtracks.

It’s not very often anymore that I am willing to go out to a mid-week show, but when you get the chance to see one of your favourite bands play in a beautiful, historic concert hall sometimes you have to take the plunge. That was me this past Wednesday night, when Opeth made their debut…

From the vaults: Warhorse – As Heaven Turns To Ash…
I originally wrote this review for Exclaim! back in January of 2001 when this album was first released, but now that Southern Lord is reissuing it in a deluxe, remastered format with bonus tracks I thought it might be a good time to revisit this article.
