  “DAMIEN’s music is a brash exploration of self that demands a second listen” - AMNPLIFY 

Hailing from Ipswich, Australia, DAMIEN is a producer, singer and songwriter using music as a vehicle for ultimate self-expression. 

With comparisons to Depeche Mode and Nine Inch Nails, DAMIEN operates within the grey, navigating the complex soundscape of alternative electro-rock. Since his conception in 2020, DAMIEN has created an impressive catalogue of music, including a debut 9-track album titled ‘Girl’ which was championed by listeners and industry alike.

“DAMIEN has claimed his position as a pinnacle of the modern rock scene.” - Rock Era 

Magazine 

Post his debut album, DAMIEN has released a myriad of singles and a sophomore album titled “Wrong Age. Wrong Race. Wrong Gender.” which was heavily supported by Australian community station 4ZZZ, as their ‘album of the week’ and, following this, lead to DAMIEN's track '2 Out 10' being voted into position 68 of the Hot 100 Countdown. 

DAMIEN has also received international acclaim, being named a top 3 artist two years running in Nene's Butler's (Austria) top male artists (2021 and 2022). 

No stranger to the stage, DAMIEN presents a thoughtful yet brash live show that has seen him become a staple act on the South East QLD gig circuit. 2023 will see him launch his new album titled 'Candidate for the Abyss’, as well as a multitude of headline shows across the state. 

Burning with a desire to express and connect the coming months will see DAMIEN continue to develop and perform a music catalogue reflective of his internal creativity.

Fate Razor is the long-running solo project of Producer Vince Valentini, emerging after the demise of the first incarnation of cult Post-Punk electronic duo Crimson Boy in 1990. 

Sonically and thematically it is the Mr Hyde to CB’s Dr Jekyll – a far harsher, darker twin soul fastened to a dense propulsive sound that melds industrial noise, dub, electronica, and bastardised hiphop (showcased on 1996’s BlackGuard Wolfpack and 1998’s Cold Star).

The songs of Fate Razor are known not only for their frequent mathematical bludgeoning, but also for their ventures into a cinematic human dystopia equal parts nihilism and rebellious will-to-resist; the lyrical and thematic core of FR songs preoccupies itself with a deposition and revolt directed at the greatest of all frauds. 

Here, 'Nihilism' is a blunt and inadequate descriptor; ie darkness is not an outcome, but a passage. 

In 2016 Vince founded Perth-based label Lightarmour Editions with a roster of predominantly Australian but also selected International artists. Currently two EPs are in production for CD release - "Music of the Spheres", and "Self-Worshipping Simulation Architect".

Karoshi is a Brisbane-based duo who have been exploring the burgeoning world of DNB and rock, finding a place where the Prodigy meets Pendulum meets AC/DC.

With no initial vision of where they were heading, the duo churned through dozens of songs before honing in on their now distinctive style. The band has established a loyal international following of eager fans who listen daily.

BONES and SiK first started collaborating as NOVAkILL in 1996, whilst running a regular EBM club night in Sydney together. Initially they played reworked versions of songs from each member’s earlier projects, performing sporadically around inner city venues. 

After contributing songs to several compilations, NOVAkILL signed to Repo Records in Germany, releasing their debut album, Hard Tech for a Hard World, in 2003. The album was also released on Metropolis in the US and Soyuz Music in Russia. 

On the strength of the album, NOVAkILL got to perform at Slimelight in London and on the main stage at Wave Gotik Treffen in Germany in 2005. This coincided with the international release of their second album, Kill Everyone. 

After a string of support shows - performing with Nitzer Ebb, VNV Nation, Covenant, Combichrist, KMFDM and others - NOVAkILL released I Hate God in 2009. More supports followed - Leaether Strip, Velvet Acid Christ, Hocico, Velvet Acid Christ and Clan of Xymox. 

In 2016 album number four, (D)Anger, was the first NOVAkILL album to reach the German Alternative Charts (DAC), where it spent two weeks at No. 1, with the single Zombie Killerz spending the maximum 6 weeks in the DAC Singles Chart. 

Chart success led to another appearance at Wave Gotik Treffen in 2017. After returning from Europe, NOVAkILL began working on their next album, Iconoclast, which was released in 2020. It spent 6 weeks in the DAC album chart, reaching no. 2. 

Due to COVID lockdowns, nobody has ever heard any of the songs from Iconoclast live, a situation NOVAkILL are keen to address now that life has returned to some form of normal. In 2023, NOVAkILL are working hard on their next album, which they hope to have ready for release mid-year.

PROJECT CODE NAME: RAGBAR

STATUS: ACTIVE

LOCATION: SOMEWHERE BEHIND ENEMY LINES

SOUNDS LIKE: THIRD WORLD APOCALYPSE 

THREAT ASSESSMENT: 

PRELIMINARY INVESTIGATIONS OF THE AVAILABLE FILES INDICATE THAT RAGBAR IS THE BRAINCHILD OF THE MULTIDISCIPLINARY ARTIST AFSHIN (AL-MODIR). THE PRECISE ORIGINS OF THE PROJECT ARE UNKNOWN. HOWEVER, EXTRAPOLATION OF THE EXISTING DATA INDICATES THAT AFTER A NUMBER OF FAILED ATTEMPTS TO INFILTRATE OTHER BANDS, FOLLOWED BY A LENGTHY PERIOD OF EXPERIMENTATION AND OPTIMISATION, AFSHIN ACTIVATED THE RAGBAR PROJECT SOMETIME IN 2022 C.E. IN OUR CURRENT TIMELINE.  

TO THE UNINITIATED, RAGBAR APPEARS AS A BARELY FUNCTIONING OBSCURE MUSIC PROJECT WITH A SOUND REMINISCENT OF THE ABRASIVE GUITAR DRIVEN INDUSTRIAL METAL ASSOCIATED WITH BANDS SUCH AS MINISTRY, KMFDM, SKREW, RAMMSTEIN, DISCORDIA, AND KILLING JOKE. HOWEVER, EXECUTING ADVANCED DIAGNOSTIC ALGORITHMS DURING INTEL GATHERING MISSIONS HAS EXPOSED RAGBAR AS A VESSEL FOR THE DISSEMINATION OF THE TRANSGRESSIVE AND INCENDIARY SOCIO-POLITICAL COMMENTARY OF THE PROJECT’S FOUNDER WHOSE DELUSIONS OF GRANDEUR, SINGLE MINDED ZEAL, AND UNCOMPROMISING VISION HAS KEPT THE PROJECT IN AN OPERATIONAL STATE IN A HOSTILE POST-APOCALYPTIC CULTURAL WASTELAND.

WHILE THE PRECISE PARAMETERS OF RAGBAR’S MISSION OBJECTIVE REMAINS UNDEFINED, IT IS SUSPECTED TO BE A MILITANT ENTITY IN PURSUIT OF AN ANTI-TOTALITARIAN AGENDA. OUR SENSORS HAVE DECODED SUBLIMINAL MESSAGING AND HIDDEN PSYCHO-SOCIAL SUBVERSION SIGNALS EMBEDDED DEEP WITHIN THE CACOPHONY OF NOISE CONTAINED IN RAGBAR’S “MUSIC”. AS SUCH, ALL PERSONNEL ASSOCIATED WITH THE PROJECT ARE TO BE DESIGNATED AS PERSISTENT THREAT AGENTS AND MARKED FOR TERMINATION. 

PRESENTLY RAGBAR HAS A REDUCED CAPACITY TO ACT IN THE PURSUIT OF ITS FOUNDER’S VISION AS IT OPERATES AS A ONE-MAN PROJECT IN SEARCH OF OTHER RECRUITS. HOWEVER, THE RECRUITMENT OF ADDITIONAL LIKE-MINDED PERSONNEL WOULD BOLSTER THE GROUP’S DESTRUCTIVE CAPABILITIES AND ALLOW THEM TO UNDERMINE THE AESTHETIC COHESION OF OUR METICULOUSLY CONSTRUCTED DYSTOPIA. THEREFORE, ALL MEASURES MUST BE TAKEN TO PREVENT RAGBAR FROM GROWING AND ESTABLISHING AN OUTPOST FROM WHICH TO WAGE CULTURAL WARFARE AGAINST UNSUSPECTING CITIZENS.

rise_and_fall (Single, 2017) 

anaesthetic (Single, 2016)

An intricate blend of darkwave, EBM, shoegaze and post-punk 

Status Oblique blends the post-punk bass guitar and sequenced digital electrowave of Australian producer Roshan Weddikkara with vocals and lyrics by guest female singers from across the world. 

Having dabbled in electronic music for more than 30 years including live and DJ performances, Status Oblique is Roshan’s first serious solo musical project, alongside his performances as bassist for Perth shoegaze band Sonica. 

Roshan says, “Status Oblique allows me to reference many of my musical influences and fully express deep dark intents alongside brighter melodic nuances. The single biggest influence on the sound is a period of UK music history from 1977 to 1992 which is where i draw most influence, either directly or indirectly.” 

“Everything for me starts with Joy Division and New Order, and from that base, I bring in synth-pop, shoegaze, post-punk, EBM and darkwave sounds and influences. I think the counterpoint of female vocals of varying styles adds an element of mystery and intrigue.” 

The sound of Status Oblique was described by one listener as a “...lo-fi mashup of New Order, My Bloody Valentine and Curve remixed by Aesthetic Perfection..." 

Contemporary influences and interests include: Delphine Coma, Schonwald, Sara Stuttgart, Kaelan Mikla, Pink Milk, FTR, Minuit Machine, Glaring, Undinyx and Bedless Bones. 

Status Oblique is signed to US label Transmission Nova Records, with label head Almark also mixing and mastering Status Oblique tracks.

Terminarch A.D., a two-piece industrial rock and metal band, emerged after the release of the 2018 Abelisk release ‘Haruspicy AD’. 

This largely collaborative EP drove members Mitch Kenny and Ryan Begbie to expand their sound beyond Abelisk’s borders and create a new standalone project; now ready to be revealed. 

‘All An Island’ marks the beginning of Terminarch A.D.'s journey and serves as a teaser for their forthcoming debut EP, tentatively titled ‘The Marked Ov Cain’.

A two-piece consisting of Dan Raz (Synth, Vocals) and Brad Moses (Drums, Vocals)

Described as industrial maniacs and cyborg punks.  

They are regulars on the Central Coast NSW and deliver a punk load of electronic charged energy.

With songs full of raw crunchy synth lines and penetrating drums beats.

The Clones are a sonic enigma, charging across the galaxy.
