Metal News.
Daysend have taken American airwaves by storm, with their album 'Severance' coming in at #2 most played and requested across all college and public radio stations, and #3 on FMQB's Metal Detector, which covers all commercial, college and public radio in the States. A remarkable achievement for the band!
Chalice have announced the official departure
of drummer/lyricist Adrian Bickle due to personal reasons. Adrian's
decision to step down was voluntary and amicable, and Chalice
will soon return to functioning at full pace with a complete
and committed line-up.
Following on from their full length on Razorback Records and splits with Birdflesh, Agathocles, Maggot Shoes and Sewn Shut, Embalming Theatre return with a morbidly malpractical new MCD 'Hormones From the Dead'. Further refining Embalming Theatre's distinctive style of suffocatingly cryptal death-grind, 'Hormones From the Dead' injects punishing high speed grindcore with deathly grooves and mournfully oppressive melodiousness.

This Dec will see the first ever Resist Records
tour, a showcase of some of the label's leading acts playing

working hardcore/punk/indie bands. The first show on Sat Dec
11 will be headlined locals I Killed the Prom Queen and Sydney's
Irrelevant, with more tba, while the second show the following
night will see The Hot Lies play with Byron Bay's Parkway Drive,
plus others.
