ABELA FLICK MY HAIR Review
ABELA’s Flick My Hair EP opens with an irreverent attitude from the start of “Wicked.” She is not here to play nice. She throws a raw, punk-charged rock energy straight in your face, with enough attitude to make even Billy Idol look tame. There is a sacred fire of rock running through this artist, and she does not seem interested in asking anyone for permission.

“Wicked” explodes with riffs reminiscent of The White Stripes, while ABELA’s vocal delivery feels sly, ironic, and fiercely punk. It is bold, direct, and full of personality.
“Bled for This” reveals another side of the artist. The song opens mysteriously, keeping you unsure of where it is taking you until around the 37-second mark, when the tension begins to rise. For about twenty seconds, the track keeps building before finally exploding into the chorus. Imagine Courtney Love colliding with early Gwen Stefani, and you begin to understand the sonic world ABELA is creating.
FLICK MY HAIR – Sound and Atmosphere
The title track, “Flick My Hair,” is wild, theatrical, and slightly grotesque in the best possible way. Blues and rock influences wrap around the song, creating a rush of pure adrenaline. The rhythmic variations, moving from faster sections to slower, heavier moments, keep you hooked from the first second to the last.
“Stole the Gun” is another track with strong dynamics. More atmospheric passages leave room for moments where the energy rises sharply, while ABELA’s voice remains solid, recognizable, and full of character throughout.
FLICK MY HAIR – Performance and Production

Previously, I have banged on about my relationship with black metal being a slightly strange one, and rarely do I nab a black metal release from the promo sump. And though my interest in modern black metal is hit or miss, the timing seems ripe for the picking. Following some personal hardship and soul searching my listening habits have gravitated heavily towards the blackened arts, specifically binge listening of legendary acts such as Darkthrone, Emperor, Dimmu Borgir, and Bathory. Embracing the past has led to this present-day slab of blackened extremity from the contrastingly sunny shores of Brisbane, Australia. Unheralded act Graveir return with their third LP, The Festering Triad, hellbent on transporting the listener through a bleak, ugly vortex of demented groove, bleak atmosphere, and unsettling stabs of dissonance. However, let us explore whether Graveir possess the songwriting chops to match their grimly effective ingredients.
