New single from A World Defined is a corker of a track, the kind that you’re going to nod along to as if you have known it all your life. This will be the first single from their up and coming release, due for completion mid-summer. The Void features melodic guitar parts and has a very Flood of Red feel about it. The Void gradually builds, preparing you for a colossal finish, during this 3 minute and 40 second journey you hear a remarkably versatile vocal range from singer Liam Reeves. The radio-cut intro may be borderline cliché, often over/misused by many bands, but A World Defined have made it work well; and intriguing and attention grabbing intro.
The Void is a signal of good things to come from A World Defined. (7/10)
You can download the song (legally!) for free HERE

![SPHERES are a metal band who have come out of the depths of the Sydney ocean and released a smashing debut EP called ‘Migrate’. We have the pleasure to introduce these lads to you in hopes of getting them further into the music stratosphere of today’s local metal scene.
If you dig yourself some brutal ambient music, like Volumes and Misery Signals, or just some good old fashioned mosh worthy music like Legend, then you need to click here and listen to ‘Migrate’ right now and read this interview that we have with vocalist, Jak Fraser, and guitarist, Ryan Godfrey to figure out how Spheres is like spaghetti bolognese.
Noise Violation: Your debut EP Migrate sounds incredibly mature and very well thought out for a young band like you guys. When recording what did you want to come through the EP to show what Spheres is all about?
Jak Fraser: I can’t speak on behalf of the other band members but I believe that Spheres is all about a creative influx where each individual band member is considered creatively. I personally want listeners to see my love for writing, honesty and passion through music and I believe that Migrate shows everyone’s individual talents and inputs.
Ryan Godfrey: The whole process of the EP was pretty long. We wanted something that we could be proud of and not hate within a year or so. Most of the tracks were written in early 2012 and from there we continued to refine them. I want the EP to show that as a band we are something to pay attention to, I wanted people to know we are serious about what we are doing.

NV: You’re a fairly new band around Sydney and slowly bands are adapting this new metal ambient tone. How are you keeping yourself ahead of all the other bands?
Jak: By being honest with each other, none of us want to be famous; we just want to play music. In saying that though, genres change and new influences are created all the time. I think a band can’t help but be influenced by what’s popular and adapting is sometimes a form of progression. Everyone’s mum makes a good Spag Bol, it’s what you change and add that makes it different and exciting. I don’t consider trying to get ahead of other bands, because honestly I don’t care what other bands are doing musically, if you’re too fussed on making something that someone else has already made, you’ll lose your integrity. Spheres Spag Bol I hope can one day be the most delicious.
Ryan: At the moment a lot of the bands in Sydney that people are paying attention to all have something unique about them. Personally I am not trying to compete with anyone, for me I just want to write music that I want to listen to. The entire band is influenced by so many different genres of music that it all just comes together when we write. We are just going to concentrate on us and do what we do, if people happen to enjoy it then it really means something to us.
NV: For those who haven’t had the chance of seeing Spheres. What’s your live presence like?
Jak: I see our live presence as something to listen to, not to Mosh ’n’ Roll to. Don’t get me wrong, I love watching kids mosh but I think we’re more than simply something to dance to. I want people to want to listen to our recorded stuff after they see us live and visa versa.
Ryan: We don’t really go out there with a concept of how we are going to perform. Our focus is on the musicality of a live show and just being ourselves. We get into if we feel like it but we don’t choreograph anything, all our movement is spontaneous and just us working and communicating with each other live. We are just going to perform to the best of our ability and hope that the audience enjoys themselves and can feel like they can do as they wish.
NV: What is the theme behind Migrate? Anything in particular you would like listeners to keep in mind?
Jak: The theme behind Migrate lyrically deals with things like empathy, passion and making mistakes. All the lyrics relate to events that have happened to me as a person. This band is so amazing because they let me go haywire with what I want to show audiences. Listeners should keep that in mind that we are storytelling, we are showing you who we are as people rather than trying to get you hate the world or injure each other. It’s cool if you want to do that though.
Ryan: I wanted the EP to flow really well. The songs are different but if you listen to the EP from start to finish it is pretty smooth and connected. Musically, we just tried to show some versatility.
NV: By next year what do you guys hope to achieve?
Jak: More listens, more music, more likes, more influence. Pretty much more of everything.
Ryan: The next release is already in the works so hopefully we can have something else to add to our repertoire by then. I just want to play more shows, meet more people, keep busy and visit new places. Basically we just want to establish ourselves more and keep growing as musicians and a band.

![Featuring ex members of Without Conviction, Make Them Suffer and Resistance and having been around for only a handful of months, Perth’s Iconoclast are already starting to make a big impact on the scene around them with their progressive and heavy deathcore with a message of revolution as shown on their new EP and first release: Autonomist.
The first thing you hear from these guys is the track “Iniquity”. Starting with an eerie intro, followed by some heavy riffing, and with a strong message regarding religion. This song is a great taste of what’s to come.

The next song on the EP, “Oppression” was released a couple of months before the EP as a lyric video and has over 5000 views! It can be viewed here. This song follows the message of a social revolution towards society and the government.
Featuring guest vocals from Brandon Gatten of Three Crowns the song “Dissent” is probably the catchiest song on the EP and with Brandon’s extra vocals in the track, it adds a great extra hardcore edge to the brutal sound that these guys possess.
“Revolt” keeps the brutality flowing, starting off with a powerful quote taken from a Martin Luther King speech, it launches into the heaviest track on the EP with some great melodic leads and crushing heavy parts that aren’t over the top and balance each other out.
The title track of the EP brings it all to a close in brutal fashion, adding to the already strong lyrical message and heavy yet melodic riffs it finishes off yet another great Perth release, which has left me keen to hear more from these guys.
To keep updated on what this band is up to like them on Facebook
To get your hands on this great release head along to a show or check out their bandcamp or iTunes

![Stories are just a couple of normal blokes from Sydney’s North beaches who are absolutely killing the Metalcore/Deathcore scene of Australia. They have played with huge acts such as Veil of Maya, I The Breather and Northlane, just to name a few. They have released their debut EP ‘Void’ which was released on the 12th of March 2013 and it is for free download here.
The whole EP is certainly a standout compared to other releases this year because of the heaviness and instant feeling of “holy sh*t this is amazing how have I not heard of this band before” well that was my first reaction of hearing Stories’ release.

‘Void’ is really worth a listen, some of the best tracks off the EP would be the last song ‘Enter The Void’ and ‘Clairvoyance’. To me they are the best sounding and so addictive to listen to. The songs are certainly heavy and fast at times with intense and slow break downs which really get you in the mood of wanting to do something violent. The lyrics I think are brilliant in the way they are sending us a message of what is really going on in this world we live in and the lies we are told by people and how we all dread the end of the world.
Overall I think it is seriously one of the best EPs to have been released this year and they will be a certain standout in Australia this year. You can catch them in your local city whilst they are on a tour for the EP and then later in the year on another Australian Tour with In Hearts Wake and Counterparts. So make sure you check them out they are worth it and support local music!
