The lads went on to release their debut EP ‘For Nothing’ in July 2019. The band started their journey with a four-week sold out residency in Sydney’s inner-west, with lines of punters spilling out onto the street trying to get into the venue. The band is now taking things to the next level in their quest for auditory domination with the release of their sophomore album, Arteries are making it abundantly clear that they are NOT going to slow down anytime soon! “Arteries are constantly pushing the boundaries in style and sound within heavy music today, and as a producer, it’s some of the most unique and diverse music I’ve had the privilege to work on.” – Chris Blancato, Engineer for ‘This Will Destroy Us’įANGZ is a Sydney-based four-piece punk rock band that write songs with the sole purpose of getting people to party and attempt backflips in mosh pits.
Taking the Sydney Scene by a storm, Arteries have garnered global press and airplay with both their self-titled EP and debut album. Following a successful release of their debut album ‘This Will Destroy Us’, the band shared stages with International Heavy Music Powerhouses such as Architects, Norma Jean, and Protest the Hero Homegrown Heroes such as Northlane, King Parrot, Lo!, Totally Unicorn as well as securing regular slots at UNIFY Gathering, Dead of Winter and Halloween Hysteria. Sydney’s Hardcore Heavyweights Arteries show the fire that’s within as they throw down with their savagely powerful djent riffs, brutal breakdowns, and fierce vocals which evoke the polished ferociousness of extreme metal legendaries such as Meshuggah and The Dillinger Escape Plan. An exciting new and formidable force has emerged. In 2021 The Witching Hour continued evolving by transforming their line-up, with founding member, Taime recruiting a highly acclaimed young gun bassist, Mitch Teppo, rhythm guitarist Travis South, (Taime’s lifelong friend) and drummer Jagger Alexander Erber. The track was selected by Alice Cooper to be featured on his worldwide syndicated radio program, ‘Nights with Alice Cooper’. Finally in October, the band managed to record and release their fourth single ‘Sleep with the stars’ which received a solid response on all platforms with airplay in Australia, the UK, Europe and the US. In early 2020 a major tour had commenced when COVID19 abruptly changed everything, which resulted in gig cancellations and re-scheduled recording plans. With three consecutive No.1’s within 12 months, The Witching Hour ranked 11th out of the Top 20 Most Played on Triple J Unearthed 2019. 1 on the Triple J Unearthed charts, the band realising that something special had come to fruition, began taking their music around Australia.įollowing the release of two more singles, ‘Under My Skin’ and ‘The Ritual’ the band again topped the charts with all tracks on Triple J Unearthed. With the band’s debut single, ‘Lay You Down’ reaching No. Together they were committed to forming a band based on their shared passion for old-school rock, and began jamming in the garage.
A place geographically quarantined from the tyranny of inner city trends, The Witching Hour was born.Īll in their mid-teens, the founding members comprising of vocalist, guitarist and songwriter Taime Marsh, bassist Bradley Hughes and drummer Bailey Graeber. Having since played alongside King Parrot, Sumeru, Fangz, Black Rheno, Astrodeath and recently being announced on the huge Blacken Open Air festival in the middle of Australia, MWDC are fast cultivating a cult following on the Aussie heavy sceneįrom teenage dreams to the law of attraction, the genesis of this young rock band was spawned on the Central Coast of NSW in an Australian town called Gosford. The urgency and conviction of JJ’s vocals added another element to their sound further cementing their foundations and MWDC had been formed.
By this point several songs were taking shape and JJ Brady expressed interest in joining in on the creative process after hearing demos of the band’s early material. Tony added a further groove and depth to the track that hadn’t been discovered previously. As more music was created Chris and Lachlan were joined by mutual friend and local Bass player Anthony Langton. At this point in time transitions from turbulent life events were taking place and the dark, moody, ambient passages contrasted with the visceral doom and groove wall of sound felt to naturally portray what was happening internally. The origins go back to one particular jam Chris had, with a new amp, which helped to express the sound in his head and coupled with Lachlan’s approach on the kit the musical basis for what is now MWDC.
