EYEHATEGOD have become the high water mark when it comes to so called sludge metal, having birthed rock's unholy bastards and inspiring multiple others with their combined sounds of southern rock, blues riffs and hardcore punk. Noting Black Flag, The Melvins and Black Sabbath as a domineering and significant influence to their sound today, they are the cornerstone for countless other sonic acolytes following in their fetid footsteps and have made themselves one of the most reputable and distinctive bands ever.

EYEHATEGOD’s latest album ‘A History of Nomadic Behaviour’ and their most recent since their last Australian tour in 2019, is a blowtorch-distortion and blues-saturated combination of songs pierced with scarring pain and disconsolate fury. The album combines an unsettling, chaotic tone with a scathing, scabrous slab of cacophonous sensory overload that only EYEHATEGOD know how to convey.

Merging one form of chaos with another is GOATWHORE. Rampaging for now over a quarter of a century as purveyors of the most ruthless extreme metal is GOATWHORE circle back to Australia from the abyss with their trademark blend of death, black, thrash and sludge metal delivered with breathless intensity and an unrepentant bloodlust. Come bear witness the vile sonic territory that only these maniacs can churn out.
