Gaza-No Absolutes in Human Suffering- Gaza continues to impress on their 3rd full length album. Establishing themselves as one of the true elite bands in extreme metal. Their mix of grind, sludge and hardcore meshes the three together so well that the listener forgets about the mixture and immerses themselves in the listening experience. A hard trick to pull off but Gaza are downright masterful at it and for that they deserve the highest of praise.

Pig Destroyer - Book Burner - Expectations were high for this one and those expectations were met. Pig Destroyer continue to do what they've always done, deliver a quality album that is head and shoulders above their peers. This album is a beast. It was close but Gaza was just a shade better.

Sat 10 Nov – Elton John Under the Stars

It was going to be George Michael who opened the "dramatic" looking Perth Arena, but he had to cancel his shows around Australia due to ill health. Sir Elton John took over the Perth Arena opening, and people with George tickets had a choice whether to get a refund or attend Elton. My friend and I chose to attend, and found out later that our other friend was going along with her mum, so we all went in together for a fun night. It had been planned as an "under the stars" show because the brand new shiny weird-looking Perth Arena building has a retractable roof (apparently it takes 7 minutes to open). However, the clouds rolled in and we had drizzle most of the night, so unfortunately the roof stayed closed.

So, first up on stage we had some local people from radio opening the Arena, and there was a short movie about the construction of it. The lady next to me was telling me she knows someone who knows a bit of insider info…

Sat 10 Nov – George Michael (Symphonica Tour)

Well, this would have been great but it was cancelled, apparently due to George Michael's ill health. We went to Elton John instead (you could either do that or get a refund, so we thought "what the hell! let's go!"). I will write a review of that one!
