you should LISTEN to

Life Pilot – ‘Feeding an Illness’

Life Pilot are living proof of the mantra ‘you have your whole life to write your first album’. Their debut LP is near completion, dropping its first taste with ‘Feeding An Illness’. Comparisons to chaos-makers The Chariot are deserved and delightful, but Life Pilot have progressed a step further. Shades of nu-metalcore that would impress Northlane creep their way in, but the five-piece are still in another frenzied universe, thankfully. Norma Jean, your Australian tour’s support act has been selected.

You Should See

Full of Hell & Thou

Grindcore greats Full Of Hell will be back Down Under after a decade-long absence. Joining them is blackened doom trailblazers Thou, who will make their Australian debut. Both outfits will celebrate their new albums, Coagulated Bliss and Umbilical, respectively. Undoubtedly, this will incite double the tormented trouble.
