After triumphantly casting off the shackles of claustrophobic dissonance on 2020’s lauded ‘Stare Into Death and Be Still’, New Zealand unorthodox death metal legends ULCERATE up the ante even further with mind-bending 7th album ‘Cutting the Throat of God’. An acknowledgement that the band’s most powerful and affecting material leans to the melodic side, this refined and hook-laden new record is a self-sufficient universe unto itself, a conflagration of inventively visceral death/black metal where dizzying experimentation meets head-nodding abandon – obscenely twisted and addictive, heart-stopping in its depth of feeling.”
To complete the touring cycle for ‘Cutting…’, ULCERATE will undertake seven Australasian headlining dates in 2026.
For Australia, one of metal’s most uncategorisable acts, THE AMENTA have been synthesising the ugliest aspects of death, black, and noise into a unique maelstrom for over 25 years. Well known across the world for their intense live shows, THE AMENTA combine speed, anger, and weird sound with smoke and strobes to create a brutal, overwhelming experience.
And for New Zealand are the utterly deadly VICISSITUDE, a miasmic black/death swarming mass in centering on death, decomposition and cannibalism, they purvey a sonic hellfire of murky chaos and morbid satisfaction.
