Coinciding with the albums release will be the re-release of the prior two albums, The Complete First Season and Slaves of Virgo. The band will also be heading on a national tour covering every state and territory in the country thanks to a Contemporary Music Touring Grant. Keep an eye on the band’s website for tour dates, new merchandise and other related things.

“Produced by Forrester Savell (Karnivool, Helmet) one of Australia’s finest, “Matriarch” is 12 tracks of mind bending time signature’s, eclectic vocal gymnastics, unique brutality with an amazing new sense of catchiness that will melt away your pre-conceptions of what music should sound like. While world renowned artist Seldon Hunt (Neurosis, Isis, Candiria) has taken care of the album artwork ensuring the album looks as extraordinary as it sounds.

“I have always been keen to record Five Star. They are very creative guys and manage to achieve something quite different to other bands. I’m glad I waited for Matriarch as this album is truly unique. It was a pleasure to produce and is definitely a huge step forward in every regard.” – Forrester Savell
