All you need to know is that founding member DW Norton was the only one to sit tight with Superheist from go to woah.
With the line-up momentarily stable, the band stepped shit up. An appearance on the Vans Warped Tour was followed by a Fear Factory support slot on their east-coast Aussie tour before they toured nationally with Sepultura.
Originally, 8 Miles High was meant to be an eight-song album but Shock disbanded Shagpile. The money ran out and an EP was all they could squeeze out of them. Superheist transitioned to a new Shock offshoot called Pivotal and shit got real. Releases started getting regular play on Triple J and the band put out a new single in called Crank the System which made it into the top 50 of the ARIA singles chart.
The ARIAs were penetrated again in by — at last! Top success in those days did not normally come to any. Before there was time for the usual grumblings about lack of commitment and enthusiasm — hey presto, BAM! In the time it took everyone to wrap their heads around this latest development, Superheist played the Big Day Out then recorded and released their second album Identical Remote Controlled Reactions late in In a reversal of their earlier fortunes, the album was originally meant to be an EP.
It hit number 20 on the charts, the singles went gangbusters and the band rode forth and conquered live into mid Things went quiet after that, usually an indicator that a new album is gestating, then suddenly it was all over — DW Norton announcing in early that Superheist had disbanded. Being in a successful band is like a war of attrition. Success often comes from how many blows you can take before you call it quits and the situation inside the band is rarely how it appears from the outside.
When Superheist returned to Australia after their showcase gigs in the US, they had a serious offer on the table from one of the majors. Momentum, that rare quality that makes or breaks bands, was on their side. That, plus problems with the new singer and the possibility that they could be looking at their third vocalist in three years, broke them. When all was done Superheist had nailed every big gig in the country, been a Shock Records mainstay, had a fistful of appearances on the charts and were equally regarded by both the mainstream and metal media.
When they went out, they had gone as far as a metal band can go in Australia. Symphonic, brooding vocals, soul-crushingly heavy shredding and just the right balance of complementary and mind-blowing drums.
Cut straight through the bullshit and into its groovy, head-banging-fistpumping core. With drumsticks in hand, Dean began his musical journey by amassing a vast knowledge of rock, funk, jazz, extreme, fusion and progressive playing styles.
Mark also kicked off his endeavours behind a kit but gravitated towards the microphone after tapping into his melodic side and now sings everything from classical to contemporary styles. While there have been three guitarists to walk in and out of the band, current shredder Jon King began his musical life smashing out tunes in his NSW bedroom before leaving for Victoria to find a home for his talents.
Damnations Day took him in without a single regret and the three have been tearing it up ever since. In the early days, touring was an interesting pastime. One memorable moment took place after the second show on their first run when the power on their tour bus mysteriously shorted out halfway through the drive. The band woke up to a flat battery and no knowledge of how to kickstart it, except with. They ended up setting both batteries on fire!
Thankfully, nobody exploded. Since those early days thrashing out in their garage, Damnations Day have played a slew of explosive live shows, honing their craft before committing it for all times onto their debut album Invisible, The Dead. Produced by Dean Wells and mastered by Jesse Lammert in Germany, the package earnt a worldwide release through Nightmare Records, distribution courtesy of Sony. Invisible, The Dead launched to dropped jaws and lifeless eyes, the record so impressive that it was acclaimed by critics the world over and catapulting the band to recognition.
They opened for Soilwork on their most recent tour in Melbourne and supported Nightwish on their New Zealand tour but things reached their highest point in when Damnations Day were invited on a show run across Europe and Scandinavia with metal legends Accept. The country tour saw them reach an entirely new audience and a massive one at that — their set in the Czech Republic was stared upon by some 3, fans.
Through it all Damnations Day have stayed true to themselves, firmly focused on delivering not just great music but an experience to go alongside it.
They may have walked through thick mud, climbed jagged ropes and set bus batteries on fire but Damnations Day have come out as one of the most impressive bands in the Aussie metal scene. They remain focused on pulling together their second studio album and have plans to complete it in Europe. What more can we say? Get on it! Authentic, extraordinary and callously relentless, Invisible, The Dead is 40 minutes of solid heavy metal that will leave you on your knees begging for more.
It must be noted that Invisible, The Dead is more than just seven tracks of all-out, crushing ire. Dead Kelly were formed in Yandina, a town of just a few thousand in the Sunshine Coast hinterland. According to the boys, their genesis took place during the local Dreamtime, somewhere around the time that a mighty warrior named Ninderry had the hide to steal the beautiful girl Maroochy, while her betrothed Coolum was busy hunting.
Dead Kelly have certainly managed to make a name for themselves and it has nothing to do with over-the-top marketing. The band are insistent on their art being there for everyone to enjoy, along with beer, cigarettes and Australian culture. You can find their videos on YouTube with as many rants and interviews as there are music videos.
Their pint-sized leader Pine Cone Throat Kelly may be small of stature but has plenty to say in between sips of beer and drags on a durrie. Pine Cone Throat strikes you as a balaclava-clad Angry Anderson but the music these blokes create is a few notches up the heavy scale from Rose Tattoo. Of course, their sound might be described as very Australian and this is in no small part due to. Even if you were to strip the band of their Australianisms and the bogan revelry, their tunes would stand for themselves based purely on how well they attack their instruments.
Dead Kelly also pride themselves on an unapologetic DIY-style approach. Their aim in this regard is simply to enjoy playing metal for their countrymen with seemingly no interest whatsoever in being guided in any other direction than the one they are heading. Just make sure you have a beer in hand when it happens.
At exactly am, everyone else turns into zombies except Sarah and Blue Dog, the latter of which instead turns in to a massive monster dog who saves the day by slaying all of the zombies. So, apparently inspired by that track, a fan went and got himself a dog he named DK and sent in a picture along with the explanation of how the dog got its name. Fans have been sending in pooch pictures ever since. The Betrayer was followed in June with a two-track release simply entitled II, this time recorded at Monolith Studios.
All the signature characteristics from the first EP are there but the ferocity and complexity take a step up. These recordings laid the foundation for a hectic gig schedule that lead, eventually, to their first Australian tour.
Decimatus are a band born to play live, and life on the road is something they quickly discovered a love for, despite occasionally reaching the point of wanting to knife each other. The next step was obvious, but perhaps not so simple — recording a full length album. At one stage they found themselves reduced to the core trio of Jennings, Bulgarelli and Rondinelli and fighting to get the album done.
In true silver lining fashion, the struggles served to bring the three together, strengthening the core of the band, and after bringing Rech and Brammer into the fold the album finally moved towards completion. The pure pleasure at finally being able to reveal the album to the world was evident with the band playing to a crowd that was totally behind them. Both band and crowd had a night to remember. It was also the perfect start to the tour to promote the album and Decimatus now head into with a full schedule of live gigs and a renewed desire to bring their music to new ears.
From start to finish they deliver a high intensity sonic assault, dispensing a barrage of groove riffs at thrash speeds. The core of a typical Decimatus track is a pounding groove riff, often at break-neck speed, hammered out by bass and drums with the guitars layered across the rock-hard rhythm. Growl vocals complete the soundscape.
The band formed in the northern suburbs of Melbourne in and, like any good metal band, they began in a garage. Vocalist Tommy Jennings was the final addition to the line-up and was sourced via an online advertisement. Things really started to kick-off for the band in That said, Decimatus are definitely not a Lamb of God rip-off.
The production and musicianship is superb and the music is equal parts groovy and thrashy. These days, Hellbringer are working on material for their next release. With drummer and frontman brothers Josh and Luke Bennett in Canberra, and guitarist James Lewis in Sydney, it may not be a fast process but great music rarely is. Few bands would have the courage or conviction to take the chances this trio has.
With Australian shows lined up for , and a hope to tour the United States in , the future is certainly looking promising for the Canberra trio. The trio, formally known as Forgery, have been putting out catchy thrash tunes since , both in Australia and around the world.
Like many bands, they formed in high school and, after one guitarist switch, they were all set to launch. Consisting of club and festival shows, Hellbringer managed to pull off the seemingly impossible — an Aussie metal band funding, booking, and organising their own tour from the other side of the world.
Releasing a single on vinyl is almost as retro as it gets these days but Hellbringer did just that in July of Vinyl is a niche that many bands have been filling in recent years and Hellbringer are certainly a band who know what their fans want. Not only is the music heavy and brutal, but the EP artwork is outstanding.
These days the public want awesome music with a pleasing aesthetic to back it up and Horror From The Grave more than delivers on both fronts. Horror — the one thing Gnaw Their Tongues mastermind Mories desires to inflict upon his audience. A one-man project based in the Netherlands, Gnaw Their Tongues evades categorisation and conjures darkness in uniquely disturbing fashion.
Nausea-inducing bass drones underline a black metal aesthetic with orchestral flourishes bringing fragments of light to a dark, industrial wasteland. It is territory that Mories describes as having no boundaries.
Originally a side project, Gnaw Their Tongues rose to prominence soon after being released online in Even more remarkable is the fact Gnaw Their Tongues boasts no fewer than thirty releases. Finally, the wretched spawn is being freed from the confines of the studio and shall be unleashed live this year.
Revealing plans to play the Maryland Death and Apex festivals this year, Mories will be joined onstage by Eric Eijspaart of power electronica project Mowlawner. Sydney is fast becoming known for a relentlessly-dedicated heavy music scene, and much of that is thanks to an unforgiving heavy metal quintet called Temtris. After twelve years of practically running the show, Temtris is a dominating force; an inexorable smattering of powerful female vocals strewn with cataclysmic death growls and uncompromising riffs determined to take listeners on an emotional journey with each explosive tune they pump out.
The chaos began all the way back in when Genevieve Rodda vocals , Anthony Fox guitar and Wayne Campbell drums were tinkering around with various genres of metal, hoping to create something unheard at the time. To date, Temtris have delivered three. Five-piece metal band Alkaloid are breaking barriers with a smartly-crafted blend of irregular vocal patterns, intelligent riffs, complex song structures and extreme brutality that is forcing traditional death metal fans the world over to think outside of the box.
The band aims for every song to be different but to still retain their fastbecoming-classic sound. In the process, they create a complex but still fun world of metal into which listeners looking for something new are able to plunge themselves. This Bavaria-based band formed in is comprised of well-known musicians whose tenures have spanned such global acts as Aborted, Obscura, Necrophagist and Blotted Science, and lead vocalist Morean has even written pieces for big public orchestras in Holland.
Unsurprisingly, the rather clinical-sounding name Alkaloid refers to a chemical compound that changes matter. This relates to the band whose music is shaped by a constant change. The minute opus showcases a plethora of styles that seamlessly transition from part to part, style to style, across both growling and clean atmospheres. Following the release of The Malkuth Grimoire, the band plan on playing as many shows as possible and hopefully Australia will be in their sights.
Eager to climb higher, Temtris are currently hard at work on their fourth full-length record, slated for a February release. It would have been hard for us to stick with just one sound, one speed, one tone. Saints, a straight-ahead punk rock band. It is also the home of I Shall Devour. I Shall Devour have gone through myriad line-up changes in their six-year tenure.
When members change, stylistic alterations invariably follow. Where once their music was littered with core-style breakdowns, the band currently lean more heavily towards symphonic melodeath, drawing inspiration from such varied sources as Behemoth, Joe Satriani and Queens of the Stone Age; however, I Shall Devour is overall more akin to The Black Dahlia Murder or Whitechapel plus strings. Guitarist Jem McPherson also has a background in promoting local shows, which means I Shall Devour has one foot firmly planted in the.
Juggernaught business side of the music industry — a distinct advantage over many other bands in the scene. What started as a garage band in Tweed Heads six years ago is now a band with a strong touring pedigree on the verge releasing of their debut full-length record The Misanthropist, and melodeath fans would be fools to dismiss them.
With an EP scheduled for release in the coming months and a new album in the works, Juggernaught are an enticingly unique band that are certainly well worth the effort. Hailing all the way from the depths of Pretoria, South Africa, Juggernaught are a quintessential example of rare and exhilarating rock music. Angilo Wijnbergen bass comes from both a jazz and metal background. Avoiding the limitations of being labelled as one specific musical sub-genre, the band sees themselves as a rock band with a huge range of influences from blues, jazz, funk and metal.
Since their inception, Juggernaught have performed non-stop throughout South Africa, Mozambique, Namibia and Botswana, from small local shows to huge festivals including Oppikoppi and Ramfest.
Juggernaught released their first demo in. In , the southern coast of New South Wales beheld the genesis of black metal band Pestilential Shadows.
Their key lyrical and stylistic theme has always been death. This is not merely limited to the individual, but runs the gauntlet from individual demise to the extinction of the entire human race, be it from plague, war or myriad other nefarious means. Pestilential Shadows released two demos in , followed by five full-lengths that have seen international release. The album was recorded in a home studio, allowing the band sufficient time to achieve the desired sound for the record.
In fact, guitarist and vocalist Balam handled the mixing and. Despite an Australian tour in support of their album, Depths, live performances are rare for Pestilential Shadows. Multiple line-up changes have resulted in a band whose members are scattered across the country, making touring a logistical nightmare. Pestilential Shadows focus on quality over quantity, ensuring that each show is an event, rather than just another local gig. The four members of the band, Brandon Johnson vocals , Mark Dadic guitar , Dylan Cartwright bass and Adam Lozusic drums , played together in the core band Engage the Fall, but after their fifth member left, in the four remaining members decided to ditch the metalcore sound and formed Double Chamber as a four-piece.
Shortly after their inception, the band released their debut EP Middle Children of History in , the success of which played a role in them snagging support slots for Buried in Verona, King Parrot, Hellions and Martyr Defiled. Middle Children of History was recorded in Electric Studios, which. Double Chamber are definitely a band on the rise so make sure you keep an eye out for the release of SoBo in June.
There are few artists who have designed as many great album covers as Eliran Kantor. The Berlin-based artist speaks with Sheri Tantawy about how he keeps his work looking fresh and unique across so many different bands. He began drawing at the age of five and by the time he hit his midteens he was painting murals on the bedroom walls of friends and designing logos, posters and covers for local bands.
So many of the artists who contribute visually to heavy music share a common bond in their love of darkness and the macabre and Kantor is no different. Growing up, Kantor used acrylics for the murals he painted for friends and, when it came to graphic art, the aid of the computer as a tool to support digital painting and photo editing. Having a diverse skill set helps him to ensure each piece is unique and remains true to the concept. I burnt it and broke the glass then stood above it holding the glass pieces glued to sewing threads.
You do what the album calls for. To me, this always boils down to keeping the textures intact. This says much about how his clients view his input is proof that his eye for detail extends beyond mere concept and brushstroke.
One text message later and Kantor had developed the concept for the cover, which incidentally looks vastly different to the original statue. Starting with no contacts and no established reputation, he contacted countless labels and bands only to receive very few replies. In those early days, he often sketched in exchange for publicity, his career not unlike the career of start-up bands hustling for gigs. Jabberwocky 6. Tycho 8. Bad Days 9.
