The Rivalry are a 6-piece band from Adelaide, South Australia, with influences including 4dead, Converge and The Number 12 Looks Like You. Their sound is an intense and chaotic blend of metal and grind/hardcore. They decided that, with varying interests and reasons, that they would split up after their 07/08 Japan tour. many of the members have side projects, probably the most formidable being Robotosaurus.
Flatlands create dark emotional and crushingly heavy music. The band have already made waves in the underground scene, touring hard with their unique brand of post-metal via doom. Merging the stripped down, elemental feel Neurosis and their ilk evoke on record with the painful torturous listening that is Khanate Flatlands sound is nothing but their own. Their originality was paid tribute early in their career by having the legendary Super-Fi Records releasing their two demo tracks on one side of a 12" with fellow experimental doomsters Sunshine Republic.

Arbrynth are a folk inspired metal band from the outer east of Melbourne, Australia. Drawing from a vast array of influences, Arbrynth have developed a sound that reflects the colour of folklore, woven with their heavy metal roots. The result of this unlikely combination of darkness and light is a style of music which takes the listener on a journey of love and loss, set against a backdrop of nature and earth.
The band has undergone many transformations in the time since we made the move to Australia. We said goodbye to a member, shed the old skin and engaged a new approach. Now we feel like this ever-changing mechanism has finally shifted up a gear. Kallie - Vocals (2005-2007)
Alex - Guitar (2006-2008)
Otis - Drums (? - 2011) Ben - Guitar
Matt - Bass
Swampy - Sampler/Guitar, Drums
