Soulfly
At the dawn of the new millennium, Rolling Stone Magazine declared that “Soulfly seem built to last”. That prophecy has been more than fulfilled in the two decades since.
Underground icon, extreme metal trailblazer, third world warrior, and the leader of a dedicated worldwide tribe, Max Cavalera not only survives but thrives, blasting out riff after killer riff. The same voice, body, and spirit which launched SOULFLY in 1997 summons impossibly heavy noise to this day, throwing down slabs of monstrous music
Soulfly's savage output has pushed extreme music to its bludgeoning limits while injecting it with brilliant moments of trippy nuance and dissonance. Like all innovative musical heroes, Max makes anthems for the people. Soulfly is a celebration of family and legacy. Whatever Max Cavalera hammers out on the bridges of his four-string guitars, it always sets souls free.
Nailbomb
Nailbomb's impact on both the metal and industrial scenes is undeniable; with their raw, intense sound marked by a fiercely aggressive tone and outspoken political commentary. The project fused thrash, punk, and industrial elements into a harsh, uncompromising sonic assault. Their only studio album, Point Blank (1994), became a cult favourite for its abrasive riffs, distorted electronics, and anarchic energy. Nailbomb's influence can be seen in the rise of industrial-infused metal acts and in the continued exploration of socio-political themes in extreme music. Despite their brief existence, the band carved out a lasting legacy by pushing the boundaries of what metal could sound like.
Snot
Snot emerged from the late 1990s nu-metal and hardcore scenes creating an everlasting legacy that still shines bright today. Their high-energy groove-heavy sound stood out in a crowded scene and their all killer no filler debut album Get Some became an instant classic. Their fusion of genres and DIY ethos influenced so many bands within the nu-metal and post-hardcore movements. They make a most welcome return, bringing their legendary live show back to Australia for the first time in over 10 years.
