News : High On Fire, Trash Talk, Kylesa sidewave announced

By on January 13, 2011

For those of you already having enough trouble trying to choose with Soundwave sideshows to attend, Kylesa, High on Fire and Trash Talk are teaming up for sidewaves in Melbourne and Brisbane.

“Boasting apocalyptic riffage and gravel-gargling vocals, their latest opus ‘Snakes for the Devil’ solidifies High on Fire as one of the most important bands in metal today, Absolute Punk affirming, “…the band has burned the metal rulebook and forged a new archetype.” Equal parts molten metal and earthquake panic, High on Fire’s outrageously loud and absolutely punishing live show is descending upon Brisbane and Melbourne this March.

With stage displays firmly rooted in chaos, an arsenal of releases to back it up, and fervent touring, Trash Talk has continually astonished loyal fans and newcomers alike. Pushing onward and upward since inception, Trash Talk has defined, refined, and re-defined themselves as a punk/hardcore juggernaut.

Intelligent and complicated songwriting structures drawing from an array of dizzying musical sources have set Kylesa apart from their sludge-metal peers. Rounded off with an onslaught of psychedelic undercurrents; and jarring, triple-team vocal interaction, Kylesa has truly earned a well-deserved place as the “dark psych-metal titans” (Spin) of the stoner metal community.”

Tickets from thehifi.com.au

Wednesday 2nd March @ The Espy, Melbourne
