Neverborne

Combining melody and brutality, harmony and chaos, hope and despair, NEVERBORNE are rapidly bringing their own brand of adrenaline-soaked metal to the forefront of the underground scene. They effortlessly blend elements of Swedish melodeath outfits such as Nightrage and In Flames with the sounds of American giants like Unearth and Killswitch Engage, resulting in "powerful" music "that would sound at home coming straight out of Gothenburg" (Zero Tolerance magazine, July 09).

Starforge

The story of Starforge began in the year 2007 when Andy Suppradit decided it was time to unleash his own brand of melodic death metal upon the Australian metal scene. Inspired by the sounds of the Scandinavian scene and elements from Thrash, Death, Black and Power metal, Andy spent 2008 composing what would be Starforge's first demo 'Infinite'. Before the songs had been written, Josh Mcmaster was chosen to be the vocalist. This was a natural choice as Josh and Andy have been working together musically since 2004 through many projects including grindcore band Mutant On A Forklift.
