HEAVY Music Interviews ·

2026/10/05

Every now and then a band bursts out of the underground circuit with the kind of pure, unadulterated sonic swagger that leaves your jaw firmly pinned to the floor. If you haven't yet been introduced to the auditory demolition that is Los Angeles power trio Primitive Ring, then pack your bags, turn your speakers up to eleven, and prepare to have your ears left properly ringing.Born from a collective state of what they call "high-functioning de-evolution," this formidable outfit is a rock and roll

SHONEN KNIFE: Cutting Their Way Back From Osaka To ZED51

HEAVY Music Interviews ·

2026/10/02

Interview by Ali Williams Forty-five years into SHONEN KNIFE, Naoko Yamano can still describe the band in three words: “pop, fun and punk.” It is remarkably efficient for a group whose history stretches from Osaka’s early-’80s underground to major-label releases, international festivals and enough world touring to make airport carpet a recurring feature of adult life. Australia has occupied a sizeable patch of that history. SHONEN KNIFE first toured here in 1997 and have returned repeatedly since,

HEAVY Music Interviews ·

2026/10/02

If there is one band that knows how to completely tear the roof off a venue and leave the crowd begging for mercy, it’s Virginia groove metal powerhouse Lamb of God. For over two decades, these absolute legends have been consistency personified, delivering some of the most punishing, riff-driven, and neck-snapping metal on the planet. Aussie heavy music fans are currently losing their collective minds because Lamb of God is heading back down under for a massive, stadium-sized 2026 co-headlining tour

Interview by Ali WilliamsInterview by Ali WilliamsTHE CRIBS are bringing ninth album Selling A Vibe to Australia this October, and Ryan Jarman is considerably happier about the shows than the long-haul flight.

If you haven’t crossed paths with Melbourne’s premier unholy crusty death metal outfit Küntsquäd yet, then honestly, what the hell have you been doing with your life? Led by the ferocious, guitar-wielding frontwoman Paula VC Damnzal, this four-piece wrecking crew has been absolutely tearing the Australian heavy scene a new one with their toxic blend of blackened grime, extreme death metal, and crust punk aggression.

2026/10/01

If there is one undeniable certainty in the heavy metal universe, it is that when Sweden's premier Viking metal juggernauts Amon Amarth decide to unleash a new record, you drop everything, grab your drinking horn, and prepare your neck for an absolute beating.For over three decades, Amon Amarth has been the gold standard for sonic warfare, delivering monumental, slab-heavy melodic death metal that lands with the subtlety of Thor’s hammer. But just when you thought they couldn't possibly raise the

2026/09/30

Every now and then a band bursts out of the local circuit with the kind of sonic swagger that leaves your jaw firmly pinned to the venue floor. Three decades ago a bunch of Frankston graffiti artists did just that when they decided to mash punk rock, metal, and hip-hop together, creating a beautiful monster that would completely reshape the Australian alternative music scene. They didn't just play gigs; they threw chaotic, adrenaline-fueled parties that became the definitive soundtrack for the Big

THE MARK OF CAIN: The Long Game Pays Off

2026/09/25

Interview by Ali WilliamsTHE MARK OF CAIN aren't a band prone to excessive activity for the sake of it. They play when there is a reason to play, record when there is something worth recording and, still prefer enough amplifiers and cables on stage to keep several roadies gainfully employed. In 2026, there happens to be a very good reason to get busy. The Adelaide trio Josie Scott, Kim Scott and drummer Eli Green are preparing to return to the stage, beginning with Brisbane’s Zed 51 Festival at Roma

There are few bands in the modern alternative rock landscape that can genuinely claim to have completely rewritten the rulebook, but Essex powerhouses Nothing But Thieves are definately one of them. From their explosive self-titled debut right through to the sprawling, neon-soaked conceptual masterpiece that was Dead Club City, these boys have consistently refused to play it safe. They have spent over a decade blending indie sensibilities, electronic pulses, and massive, stadium-sized rock riffs

Interview by Ali WilliamsSixteen years into a band, creative expansion can become a logistical problem. For PROTOMARTYR, the latest version apparently comes with horns, extra personnel and the growing realisation that every good studio idea eventually turns up on the tour budget demanding its own seat. The Detroit post-punk veterans are preparing to release their seventh studio album Hotel Usona on September 25, frontman Joe Casey dialled into HEAVY to chat with our Ali Williams about their new

2026/09/24

The global punk rock landscape would look vastly different without the bruising anthems, razor-sharp sociopolitical fury, and unwavering grit of Chicago’s finest, Rise Against. For over two and a half decades, Tim McIlrath, Zach Blair, Joe Principe, and Brandon Barnes have acted as the sonic conscience of alternative music, throwing their weight behind causes that matter while sound-tracking the lives of millions. Now, the powerhouse four-piece is gearing up to cross the Pacific once again for what

If you’ve been paying any attention at all to the breeding ground of chaotic, beer-soaked, sweat-drenched rock and roll coming out of the Sydney and Central Coast underground over the last few years, then the name NFÏ should already be permanently tattooed onto your brain. These local punk rock lords have built a reputation as an absolute must-see live experience, tearing up local institutions like the MoshPit Bar and Crowbar Sydney with sets that are as obnoxiously loud as they are brilliantly

La Dispute have always been a band that operates entirely on their own axis. For over two decades, the Grand Rapids, Michigan post-hardcore titans have bypassed traditional genre boundaries, instead crafting a visceral, emotionally exhausting world built on spoken-word poetry, jarring rhythms, and some of the most fiercely passionate storytelling ever committed to tape. They don't just play songs; they blood-let on stage, dragging their audiences through harrowing tales of grief, love, and the
