godswound
GODSWOUNDS, described as a “kaiju video game nightmare,” is a Sydney-based alt prog band. Formed in 2009, they began as an experimental project with a sound blending elements of chiptune, black metal, film music, synth pop and trip hop before refining their style during extended stays playing in Taiwan and Japan. Their latest album, ‘Cheer Up Sunshine’, produced and recorded with Toshi Kasai, is a hyper-dynamic alt prog record with soaring vocal harmonies, bubbling keyboards, bombastic brass and a cacophonous backline that features two drummers. With an affectionate nod to the production aesthetics of 70s masterpiece albums like Chicago’s ‘Chicago’ and Queen’s ‘A Night at the Opera’ and ‘Sheer Heart Attack’, ‘Cheer Up Sunshine’, seamlessly moves from track to track, the beginnings and endings of all 20 songs blending together to create an eclectic, continuous 40 minute journey.
USTA
Usta is a tempestuous blend of noise rock, blackened post-hardcore and Croatian folk.They have made their home performing in Australia since, 2018, playing sharp, short, aggressive sets alongside a diverse selection of punk, metal and rock ensembles. Their new album, Beatings Come from Heaven, produced and recorded with Toshi Kasai, features the majority of tracks as first or second live takes, sparse overdubs recorded the following day. The music strives for a visceral, click track-free immediacy, bringing together frenetic performances that drive forward beneath Heli’s strange, otherworldly vocals.
