GALAXY On The Shore Of Life (2021) Cassette

The cassette resurgence isn't ironic anymore, it's just how a certain kind of person prefers to listen, and if you're buying Australian heavy metal on tape you already know who you are.

Galaxy's On The Shore Of Life on cassette is the format that suits it, something lo-fi enough to feel lived-in, something you can actually hold in your hand. This Melbourne-adjacent heavy metal act draws from the deep well of classic metal, Mercyful Fate atmospherics, Saxon directness, Judas Priest melodic muscle, and delivers it with the kind of conviction that makes you want to dig up a tape deck immediately. Australian music, Australian release, worth every cent of the price of a few pints.

Full-length album on cassette. Australian release, 2021.
