Linkin Park The Hunting Party
The hype surrounding the release of The Hunting Party excited the inner teenager of Linkin Park fans worldwide. Fans were promised a throwback to the seminal nu-metal albums they fell in love with; the Linkin Park of old was back.rDisappointingly, The Hunting Ground fails to recreate the magic of Hybrid Theory or Meteora. Instead, the listener is subjected to a sloppy battle of genres - with no clear winner.rSome of the tracks are decent, and at times it sounds like their classic approach is working. However, a memorable vocal hook on Until It?s Gone, and solid instrumentation on Final Masquerade doesn't save the Hunting Party from being a hi		2.5

Parkway Drive Atlas
With the release of Atlas, Parkway Drive confirms that it is band unrestrained by the timeworn conventions of its genre.rThis time around, the leaders of the Australian metalcore scene are comfortable abandoning the raw mosh-ready sound that defined them in favour of a more inclusive songwriting approach. rThe benefits of this fresh method are displayed in the tracks 'The River' and 'Atlas', but the standouts are 'Dark Days', 'Wild Eyes' and 'Blue and the Grey'.

Taberah Necromancer
Taberah have procured legions of fans since their meek beginnings in 2004.

After touring Australia extensively, the band chronicled their early years of blood, sweat, beers, and tears in their debut album The Light of Which I Dream. Their sophomore effort, Necromancer, is a mature offering that effortlessly eclipses their juvenilia.

This album is a headstrong response to the dwindling demand for honest old-school heavy metal. Burning in the Moonlight, Warlord, and the title track were my personal favourites, with a notable mention awarded to My Dear Lord - which opened up with some ethereal vocal harmonies.
