Artwork for the new Aethyrvorous record ‘Akephalic Palingenesis’ on Wrought Material (the label), out this Friday. Preorder the tape and stream the first track now on bandcamp, link in bio!

The enigmatic Australian entity known as Aethyrvorous emerges from a 15 year slumber, marking its return with the full length project ‘Akephalic Palingenesis’, released November 1st via trans-Tasman collaborator Wrought Material.

‘Akephalic Palingenesis’ is a 51 minute opus in 6 movements, building upon the foundation laid by the band’s eponymous 2009 demo. Expansive production and labyrinthine song structures guide initiates through a journey of primordial introspection and aggression, sonically accompanied by an idiosyncratic black death metal alchemy drawn from the wells of Saxony, Kansas City and Queensland et al. A distinctive amalgamation solely that of Aethyrvorous.

‘Akephalic Palingenesis’ demands initiates to light the flames of the sun that will nurture them, or the hell that will consume them. taken in Avondale, New Zealand by @wroughtmaterial

閃電神秘帷幕

New full-length offering of primitive, hostile and unpolished raw black metal.

Melbourne black metal trio KILAT @kilatbesihitam return with Tirai Niskala, their second full length album and most expansive work to date. The album pushes the band’s collision of uncompromising black metal and aural alchemy into darker and more immersive territory.

Formed in Naarm/Melbourne in 2021, KILAT aligns vocalist Karina Utomo (High Tension, Rinuwat), guitarist Benjamin Andrews (My DISCO, Agents of Abhorrence) and drummer Rama Parwata (Whitehorse, Rinuwat). Taking their name from the Proto Austronesian inherited word for ‘a flash of light in the sky’, the trio channel the ascetic practices of nature through dynamic hyper blast beats, tremolo picked full spectrum guitar sonics and hypnotic dense vocals.

Tirai Niskala, broadly evoking a “veil of the unseen” continues KILAT’s exploration into Niskala (the unseen realm in Javanese cosmology) that exists alongside the material realm. Across eight compositions, the album moves through immaterial visions of Niskala, traversing through visceral sonic landscapes, presenting black metal not simply as an abrasive onslaught but a coalescence of atmosphere and invocation.

The album was created on the traditional lands of the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin Nation. KILAT acknowledge their continuing connection to these lands, waterways, culture and stories, and pay respect to Elders past, present and emerging. Sovereignty was never ceded.

Kanagawa, Japan’s #1 rock vocalist @deathro_com returns to Tāmaki Makaurau on September 13th, performing an all ages show at the Tū Tira Hall (FKA Mt Eden Scout Hall) alongside @unsanitarynapkinpunx, @chemchain, @sterilegrind.   Tix via link in bio / @undertheradarnz  Anyone who caught him last year can attest to the unmatched power and charisma he channels into each and every audience. From performing on a lime scooter or motorbike @mesoverse and @lytteltoncoffeeco, to commanding a crowd of nearly 200 at @newtownfestnz during a power outage, Deathro is not to be missed for anyone into LIVE music.  Sunday show ending early!  -—————   DEATHRO DOWN-UNDER

DEATHRO is returning to Aotearoa this September, and is also embarking on his first ever tour of so-called “Australia” with UNSANITARY NAPKIN joining for all shows!

Beloved by the Tokyo punk underground, DEATHRO combines new wave, post-punk, and J-Rock into high-energy BEATROCK in the 1980’s Japanese tradition. DEATHRO’s performance is ecstatic and powerful, while the lyrics are grounded in working class politics. DEATHRO has a punk mind and expresses it.

Amongst messages of solidarity, freedom of expression, and love for his hometown Kanagawa, DEATHRO tackles the injustice of colonisation and the oppression of the Palestinian people.
