you should LISTEN to

KIN. – ‘crush’

The idea of a ‘Doomsday’ is considered fictitious by some. But with today’s threats of global war and environmental decimation, this concept could soon well become a fact for all. If a song were to soundtrack society’s demise, it would be KIN.’s latest single ‘crush’. The local quartet’s mutant metalcore formula is ruinous: the siren effect, the brutal breakdowns, the growls and screeches of vocalist Louie Workman. It demonstrates a cocktail of Vein.FM’s experimentation and END’s devastating heaviness – brilliantly calamitous.

You Should See

Municipal Waste

Municipal Waste, the Virginia thrash metal crossover outfit, have not graced Aussie shores since 2013. This five-piece was born from the salty remains of a New Year kegger at the turn of the millennium, a party where they were blamed for inciting a minor riot. Two decades later, this band are revered party artists and considered hard-hitting torchbearers for the genre. Don’t miss this triumphant return.
