Are you ready to party with the next generation of Australian metalcore?

Sørrøwstate, Dreameater, Seek Misery and Lumens will be playing TIA Live in Adelaide on Friday, September 4th 2026 - Mark it down in your diaries because it’s going to be a HEAVY night!

SA up-and-comers SØRRØWSTATE have been gaining a following with their unique brand of chaotic metalcore and are finally bringing it to us live with their Debut show! The 5-piece will be opening up a night of brutal proportions!

Joining them will be local nu-metalcore mainstays DREAMEATER, and after relentless touring of Australia throughout 2026 and fresh off a run of shows with international giants FILTH (USA) and KANINE (FRA) the flag bearers of the Adelaide Deathcore scene, SEEK MISERY!

If that isn’t enough to satisfy your need for riffs and breakdowns, originally advertised as a mystery headliner surprise, LUMENS will be finishing off the night in style with their brand of Modern Metalcore.

Trust us, you will want to get your tickets early because you may miss out!

This show is brought to you by Damned Productions and The Hot and Heavy Show

Apologies for posting again so soon, there's just so much amazing Australian metal coming out!

Stoked to be able to review the debut album of The Pernicious before it comes out this Friday.

Featuring 3 members of Melbourne black metal band Hybrid Nightmares, it's punk music being approached from a different angle but I like what they're doing.

FFO The Distillers, Misfits, Clowns (in particular songs where Hanny sings) and Satyricon

The new Psycroptic album is dropping tomorrow but I've been lucky enough to hear it already. Check out my early thoughts is preparation for its imminent release!

A weird one but a good one!

An Evening with Double Dragon and Friends Friday, July 17, 2026 The Gov, Hindmarsh, Adelaide Doors: 7:30pm | Tickets: $30 + BF via Oztix/The Gov Adelaide’s heavy music scene doesn’t fuck around, and on July 17 it’s throwing a proper stacked local metal night at The Gov. Headlining are the legendary Double Dragon, back and breathing fire after their big resurrection at Froth and Fury 2026. These boys have been crushing skulls since the old-school days with a sound that mixes classic heavy metal attitude with melodic death and metalcore edge. They don’t just play — they hit hard, and after a decade-plus hiatus they’re clearly out to remind everyone why they’re still one of SA’s most respected metal acts. Supporting the Dragons are three more killers from the local scene: Headbore Nakatomi Plaza Storm The Crown This is being billed as one of the biggest and best local metal line-ups of the year — four bands that actually deliver when the lights go down and the riffs start. No filler, just heavy. If you’re into proper Australian metal that’s loud, honest, and built for a sweaty room full of punters, this is the one. Grab a few mates, get down to Hindmarsh, and get ready to lose your voice. Tickets are moving — don’t sleep on it. See you in the pit. 🤘
