Heavy-hitting Kiwi motherfuckers Beastwars dunk us headfirst into a burning tar pit in Dune, bringing us up for air only so we can beg for more. Gnarled drop-D riffs build to the relentless payoff, coming together for a hyperdrive thrust of metal glory. Beastwars are blazing a trail back across the Tasman this September for a handful of Melbourne shows. I recommend going to at least two of them, okay?
