ANARAZEL: Formed in the mid 1990s, Melbourne unholy black metal cult Anarazel have been resurrected after a 14 year hiatus, featuring current and former members of bands such as Abominator, Draconis Infernum, Cemetery Urn, Malichor and AK-11.
Anarazel has played extensively during the last 2 years, headlining a number of local events & festivals. Now a new full length album ‘Our Dark Lord & Saviour’ is in the final stages of production & will be unleashed in Melbourne, Saturday 12/8/23.
Anarazel's sophomore album promises to redefine the genre with a relentless dual vocal attack, and a hellish onslaught of unholy artillery. ‘Our Dark Lord & Saviour’ takes Australian Black Metal to a new level and stamps it with an exclamation mark. 10 tracks to blacken even the purest hearts! The album will be released on Adirondack Black Mass records (US).
Night rituals & Blasphemy await…
CRUCIFORM: One of the most significant bands to emerge from the vital early 1990s Australian Metal scene, pioneering Sydney Death-Doom institution Cruciform return for their first Melbourne show in seven years. Since their reformation in 2012, the band have been chosen to play alongside such major international acts as Immolation, Paradise Lost, Incantation, Dead Congregation and Bell Witch. Expect to hear classic tracks from their early days alongside crushing new material.
THE VEIL: The Veil's distinctive sound, as showcased on their second album Impermanence, draws in equal part from Peaceville Doom and Post-Punk gloom, with elements of Black Metal, Shoegaze and dark Folk. A mainstay of the Sydney scene over the late 2000s and 2010s, the band has shared stages with Alcest, Anathema, Uriah Heep, Nazxul and Unto Others, and also made an appearance at the cult Dublin Doom Days festival. Playing their first Melbourne show in many years, The Veil have recently returned from a hiatus with a lean and revitalised new lineup, and will be previewing songs from their upcoming third album along with selections from previous releases.
AQUILUS: With a richly textured sound drawing inspiration from Classical Music, European Folk and Black Metal, the enigmatic Aquilus have steadily garnered international acclaim since the release of their debut album “Griseus” in 2011. Rarely performing live, the band will emerge from the shadows to bring their distinctive atmospheric metal to The Evelyn’s stage.
IRREPARABLE will be performing their sophomore release "Complete Emptiness" (released 20th May), which is 33 minutes of beat-heavy industrial goth, blended with tranquil electronica and shrill DSBM. For those that have abandoned the light, and now dwell forever in the darkness.
