THE BA NDS:

The Absolution Sequence
Emerging f rom the isolated, unforgiving wilderness of Tasmania, The Absolution Seque nce has carved out a unique identity within the Australian extreme metal s cene. Their sound is a direct reflection of their homeland’s "dark isle" r eputation—a place defined by a sinister history and a cold, remote landsca pe that stands in stark contrast to the Australian mainland. The band has developed a signature style of Technical Death Metal that balances high-ve locity musical prowess with a deeply immersive, atmospheric undertone.

I See Red
Forged in the shadows of Tasmania, I See Red channel unfiltered rage and atmosphere into a crushing fusion of meta lcore, groove metal and deathcore. Blending serrated riffs, punishing groo ves, relentless breakdowns and ferocious vocal delivery, the band crafts m usic that is both punishing and cinematic. Their sound draws influence fro m modern heavyweights while carving its own identity through brutal lyrici sm and unyielding intensity.

Compulsive Geophagia< br>We beckon the head-crushing intensity of 90’s brutal death with the nau seating riffs amalgamating from the lineage of the Tassie tech death scene . We are the unimpeded. We will make you sick. Compulsive Geophagia

Sworn In Blood
Sworn in Blood is a Metalcore four-pie ce from the Huon Valley, taking inspiration from bands such as Miss May I, August Burns Red, and Parkway Drive.
