The coldest gig of the summer lurks upon ๐๐ก๐ ๐๐๐ง๐๐ข for what is part of the return of black and death metal to Melbourneโs resurrected local haunt.
Collingwood will bear witness to the cessation of Solariaโs warmth with the misanthropic ๐๐ก๐ซ๐๐ฅ๐ฅ performing for the first time since 2023. Complimenting the void is ๐๐๐ฌ๐ญ๐๐ซ๐ง ๐๐ฎ๐ฌ๐ญ๐ซ๐๐ฅ๐ข๐โ๐ฌ ๐๐๐๐๐ฌ๐ฉ๐๐๐ with their latest offering ๐๐๐ ๐ฟ๐๐ง๐ ๐๐ฃ๐ก๐๐๐๐ฉ๐๐ฃ๐ข๐๐ฃ๐ฉ, a culminating chaos of dissonant black/death metal ripping away from their DSBM roots, their flesh born anew.
The evening commences with darkness and misery from the darkwave/industrial ๐๐ซ๐ซ๐๐ฉ๐๐ซ๐๐๐ฅ๐ who stand with a long connection to the Australian black metal scene featuring Anarazel and ex-Greytomb members, with post-black upcomers ๐๐๐ช๐ฎ๐ข๐ญ๐ delivering raw emotions and driven riffs to kick things off.

Thrall has seamlessly melded black metal with doom, death metal, and post-rock whilst exploring themes of existential horror, ecological and societal collapse since 2006.
The Melbourne-based band has cultivated a dedicated following via tours of Australia, New Zealand, and Japan. Thrall has shared the stage with pinnacle Australian bands as well as international acts including Aura Noir, Deafheaven, Absu, Rotting Christ, Stalker and many more.
Impure Sounds and Brilliant Emperor released Thrallโs fourth album โSchismsโ in 2022. The album garnered favourable reviews, appeared in numerous album-of-the-year lists, and featured diverse guest appearances including Matt Arrebollo of Gatecreeper on drums.
Thrall won new fans and acclaim with headlining tour and festival appearances in 2022-2023. These performances ushered in a new dynamic line-up adding Jared of Destruktor on drums.

As one of Australiaโs most exciting and enigmatic extreme metal outfits, with a substantial near decade long career behind them, Deadspace toe the line between black metal and the avant-garde. Drawing influence from both musical and philosophical abstract thinkers, the band exists in a unique vacuum that transcends the boundaries of coherency. Embracing dissonant pandemonium, Deadspace deliver an onslaught which is both raw and texturally rich.
With an extensive and ever-evolving musical catalogue, Deadspace have graced the global live arena with grand velocity. Notably, touring Australia with Satyricon (NOR), Japan with Marduk (SWE), Merrimack (FR), Abigail Williams (USA), Fleshgod Apocalypse (IT), and Shining (SWE). In 2019 DEADSPACE embarked on a 3-week European tour spanning over 10 countries with Psychonout 4 (GE), Vanhelga (SWE), Eyelesssight (IT), Lebenssucht (GER/BEL), and Afraid of Destiny (IT).
Deadspace first emerged into the global spotlight with their debut record "The Promise of Oblivion" (2015) as a depressive black metal entity, and have since evolved into their own unique brand of apocalyptic and filthy chaos.

IRREPARABLE formed in 2019 and began to forge an experimental and emotionally expressive musical form mixing black metal with goth/darkwave and industrial/ambient.
With themes of loss and disillusionment, the band self-released their debut EP digitally in late 2019 called Transfixion (later released on CD by Narcoleptica Productions) just before the worldwide pandemic hit in 2020.
The band managed to play their debut live show in 2021 supporting US dark folk legend King Dude in between lockdowns and spent the downtime crafting what would be their 2nd EP Complete Emptiness released May 2023 by the band on CD, and by the Italian label These Hands Melt on vinyl. Complete Emptiness further explores themes of loss, cyclical suffering and emptiness and was officially launched when the band supported US goth rockers Unto Others at the Melbourne leg of their Australian tour.
Since then, the band have performed around Australia including being apart of the tour of Iceland's Mondernte and are putting the finishing touches on their next album which is due mid-2025.
