Define your genre in five words or less:

Melodic Death/Doom Metal

Bearing the terrible clichéd nature of this question, what do you reckon people will say you sound like?

Opeth and Amon Amarth’s bastard son, according to various punters. We take it as a compliment.

What do you love about making music?

Being able to express emotions in more than just words.

What can a punter expect from your live show?

A powerful performance, a good crowd, and maybe a drinking buddy or two if you come say hey.

How long have you been gigging and writing?

We’ve been writing music for about three years now, but made our live debut in early February last year.

When are you playing live/releasing your album/EP/single/etc?

We’re currently finishing up our debut album, and are aiming to release it before year’s end.

How do you stop your pre-gig jitters?

Whiskey, double.

What advice would you give to bands that are new on the Melbourne music scene?

Take the time to scope the scene out. Go to heaps of shows, support the bands you like, get to know the people, and you’ll be rewarded in kind! Oh, and be prepared to play some shit gigs; they’re inevitable, the experience is priceless in the long run and it makes the good

shows so much more awesome.
