In Hearts Wake

In Hearts Wake emerged from Byron Bay, New South Wales in early 2006 as a 5-piece metal fellowship (all born in 1990). Over their teenage years IHW have played with the likes of Parkway Drive, Miss May I (USA), Emmure (USA), Blessed By A Broken Heart (CAN), For Today (USA), Oh Sleeper (USA), The Wonder Years (USA), The Amity Affliction, Confession and Deez Nuts to name a few.

In 2010 In Hearts Wake entered the studio with Dan Brown (Confession, 50 Lions), to record their latest CD release, a 6-track ‘Split’ effort with Sydney’s progressive metal outfit ‘The Bride.’ With 3 releases under their belt, and a debut full length in the midst, IHW opted to release a cover of Chris Brown’s club hit ‘Yeah 3X’. IHW’s aptly named ‘YEAH 4X’ features clean vocals from their newly acquired bass player ‘Kyle Erich’ and guest vocals from fellow BBHC front man ‘Oscar Mcall’ (50 Lions).

The Acacia Strain

The Acacia Strain is a metalcore/hardcore band from Chicopee, Massachusetts, US that formed in 2001. The band have since undergone numerous changes in their lineup. To date, they've released five studio albums, as well as two split albums. The Acacia Strain have said they dislike genre labels and instead describe themselves as "heavy." "You might hear other music that sounds like it, but those bands can't touch what we have. We have heart. We mean it." Lyrically, they base their music on "hatred, nihilism, humanity's dependence on technology, and my complete disgust for existence.

Subtract

Formed during the mid 1990's, Subtract have gone on to become one of the premier acts in New Zealand metal and true forefathers of the local heavy scene. Combining elements of metal old and new, with a penchant for punishing grooves and pummelling rhythms with charismatically aggressive vocals and passionate, meaningful lyricism, Subtract are an act that have gone from strength to strength throughout their years; never relinquishing an iota of the intensity and sheer heaviness that have become their sonic trademarks.

Sevenskies

"Sevenskies are a Hardcore band from Cairns, they formed in May of 2009 and have been working hard ever since to write the best heavy music they can. They recorded their first EP in February of 2010 in Sydney at Freefall Studios and the popularity of their music hasn't stopped growing since then. They have gone through their fair share of difficulties along the way, including a lineup change, but that hasn't stopped them from reaching for the top." - Quote Triple J Unearthered

Crown Us Thieves

5 young lads from the South East of Melbourne trying to impact a local scene with a combination of harmonious hardcore/metal/rock. Crown Us Thieves means a direction change not only in the musical style, but in the message being put across. Having spent the last year playing shows under the name FINAL AFFLICTION, the name change is attempt to re-birth what simply was not working for the band. A lineup change meant the departure of Rico Adhitya early this year and arrival of one Peter Davies who we feel privileged to be working with.

Lovers Grave

http://www.myspace.com/ThisIsLoversGrave "Our biography, or history rather, is yet to write itself. Lovers Grave is still young in its first few months of life and growing fast! Consisting of the minds of five dudes from Melbourne committed to a musical ideal of something fresh and heavy. Drinking dr pepper is secondary to this ideal. As we said in our blog, we hope you enjoy what weve written, and that it is as much as it feels like a prelude to cooler things! Lots of love <3"
