Electrik Dynamite

Electrik Dynamite is a Melbourne born metal band. "There once was a time where 'heavy metal' was not about how low your tuning was, how brutal your vocals were or how much double kick action the drummer could belt out. Once upon a time, heavy metal encompassed more - the passion, the conviction, belief in the god of metal... oh, and the hair! That time was the 80's. 6 souls were born from the wombs of 80's heavy metal, these 6 souls are Electrik Dynamite!

Gravemind

“Conduit; a person, place, or system that is used for passing information from one group of people to another”.

Our album Conduit is about dissociation, exhaustion and confusion.

It’s about coming to terms with one's mortality, and it’s about taking control of anything that must be.

The album is hypocritical, contradictory, violent and chaotic - above all, it is allowed to be vulnerable, it is allowed to be honest.

It is a conduit for a universal truth that we are all in this together, whether we can articulate that meaning or not.

Subtract

Formed during the mid 1990's, Subtract have gone on to become one of the premier acts in New Zealand metal and true forefathers of the local heavy scene. Combining elements of metal old and new, with a penchant for punishing grooves and pummelling rhythms with charismatically aggressive vocals and passionate, meaningful lyricism, Subtract are an act that have gone from strength to strength throughout their years; never relinquishing an iota of the intensity and sheer heaviness that have become their sonic trademarks.
