Emerging from the shadows, Soulphase have quickly bewitched Naarm/Melbourne and beyond with their otherworldly vision of gothic rock splendour.

Through sonic melodrama and thrilling performance, Soulphase weave a haunted elegance as they dance on the threshold between the divine and the demonic.

Their latest single, "Nightvania", demonstrates a clear path ahead for Soulphase - to captivate the hearts and souls of all those who heed their call.

Hailing from Naarm/Melbourne, Australia, Shadow Of Nyx was formed by drummer Chris Newton in 2019 alongside guitarist Tim Goodman, pianist/keyboardist Campbell Hill, bassist Darcy Raine and the elegant voice of Sarah Light.

Shadow Of Nyx blend traditional symphonic metal elements like operatic vocals and elaborate orchestrations with their own style of harmonised leads and neo classical riffs. Their music has strong elements of both progressive and power metal, showcased in instrumental sections and song structure.

Their latest single, “Memento Mori”, produced & mixed by Bob Katsionis (Firewind, Serious Black, Stray Gods) features the band’s first collaboration with Naarm/Melbourne based choir, Exaudi. Lyrically the single explores the theme of remembering that death is universal and the great equaliser.

Hailing from Naarm/Melbourne, She Weaves Grotesqueries’ diverse soundscape is woven from a strange, dark aether.

The group’s world is one of parallels. Mirroring the misunderstood nature of a spider, the original seamstress of creations, with the familiarity of the human hand, SWG strives to capture the beauty within what is seen as grotesque.

Blending gothic, progressive rock sensibilities with elements of metal, ambient, and electronica, the atmosphere SWG constructs draws from an era of folkloric storytelling, filtered through the amplified sonics of modern times.
