ABOUT HELLIONS
HELLIONS are a dynamic Sydney-based band renowned for pioneering a genre-melding sound that fuses aggressive post-hardcore with grand, melodic alternative rock. Comprised of Dre Faivre, Matthew Gravolin, Anthony Caruso, and Josh Campiao, the group balances raw power with anthemic choruses and theatrical arrangements, all while maintaining hopeful, introspective lyrical themes. Following their formation in 2013, they quickly established a reputation for energetic live shows, leading to multiple sold-out headline tours across Australia, the UK, and Europe, alongside standout appearances at Australian and international festivals like UNIFY Gathering, Slam Dunk, and 2000 Trees.
Their landmark 2016 album, Opera Oblivia, was a major critical success, debuting at #4 on the ARIA Charts and receiving an ARIA Award nomination, followed by the ambitious 2018 release Rue. Today, Hellions have officially entered a revitalised new era. With the core lineup reunited and a renewed creative energy, the band is currently celebrating their legacy through the 10th Anniversary of Opera Oblivia in 2026, marking a definitive return to the stage and a bold step toward their next sonic evolution.
