Hardcore’s most punishing supergroup END have announced their debut Australian tour, set to smash faces along the East Coast in June.
END is a collection of musicians from various corners of extreme music, including current and former members of the genres’ biggest acts: Counterparts, The Dillinger Escape Plan, Fit For An Autopsy, Misery Signals, Shai Hulud and Reign Supreme.
The brainchild of renowned producer Will Putney (Fit For An Autopsy) and vocalist Brendan Murphy (Counterparts), END quickly became the band on everyone’s lips through the sheer savagery of their brand of hardcore/grind. The band’s debut album, Splinters from an Ever-Changing Face (2020), comes for everything in its way with a sonic excavator, leaving behind nothing but pure carnage. Kerrang! gave the record full marks, calling it a “primal howl of distilled rage and anxiety”. Metal Hammer said the album is “a passion project that’s played with sheer cathartic malevolence”, while Stereogum put it simply by labeling it “absolute wreckage”.
These shows will become the stuff of legend in the Australian heavy scene, don’t snooze on tickets because you’ll be sorry.

THY ART IS MURDER - KILLING SEASON
Australian death metal titans Thy Art Is Murder have come out swinging with their new single "Killing Season", released today via Human Warfare. Another masterclass in the kind of extremity that's elevated Thy Art Is Murder to one of Australia's top heavy exports, “Killing Season” is a nod to the band's sonic origins with its classic bone crunching death metal paired with a relentless ferocity takes a wrecking ball to all in its path.
In keeping with the band’s tradition of shining a floodlight on socio-political trauma and history’s atrocities, the lyrics for "Killing Season" are inspired by the white washing of colonialism, and the song tackles the brutal reality of systemic racism in the western world head on. Written on Thanksgiving 2019, "Killing Season" examines the genesis of the national holiday and its lesser known bloody history that’s far from the sanitized version celebrated annually.
Guitarist Andy Marsh explains: “Killing Season is a crushing old school sounding Thy Art track that we put together towards the end of 2019, to be used somewhere in 2020 for a release or tour promo. We wanted to release it now as a gift to our fans who have supported us throughout this year by continuing to listen to our music, buying merch, or simply sending us messages of support. It means the world to us! Killing Season touches on the darkness surrounding the origins of Thanksgiving, and while that subject is relevant at this time of year, we want you to think of the atrocities both past and present that deserve acknowledgement.”

Thy Art Is Murder - Death Squad Anthem
🚨 NEW TRACK + VIDEO: "DEATH SQUAD ANTHEM" 🚨
Thy Art Is Murder have delivered another master lesson in brutality via their new single/video “Death Squad Anthem”. A champion for the youth who are fed up with the current political system, “Death Squad Anthem” is the second cut lifted from their earth-scorching fifth record, Human Target, set for release on July 26 via Nuclear Blast (ROW) and Human Warfare (AU/NZ).
“Death Squad Anthem” is a blazing examination of the current state of politics riddled with hyperactive virtue signalling, extremism and disenfranchisement. The despondency of “Death Squad Anthem” is brought to life with stark socio-political traumatic scenes of warfare, genocide, police states, brutality famine and riots interspersed with those at the helm of the atrocities.
