Napalm Death - 28 years of grindcore ultra-violence, 28 years of being one of the hardest working, hardest touring bands on this miserable planet, Napalm Death’s conviction, energy and belief in spontaneous, outspoken yet extreme music is far from being watered down. Time Waits For No Slave, the band’s 13th studio album marks no exception. Once again, Napalm Death’s concerns are realised through intense, devastatingly brutal songs that venture into groovier, neckbreaking mid-tempo passages to allow the listener to take a breath before vicious blast beats hammer you out of existence. Three years since the band left a blazing trail of destruction around this country, Napalm Death are set to smoke us all again with same unrelenting carnage.

Dying Fetus - Formed in 1991, during the height of the death metal explosion, Dying Fetus have matured into one of the premiere extreme death metal/grindcore acts to emerge from the massive global metal underground. Combining an innovative mix of technical virtuosity and catchy song structures to create the ultimate blend of death metal, hardcore and grind, their latest album Descend Into Depravity sees Dying Fetus continue to smash out their meaty slamming goodness and take them to new sonic levels. After battering us senseless at their Australian Summer Slaughter appearance last year, Dying Fetus return with their trademark groove and grunt for another round of pummelling extremity.
