Black Chaos Productions and Overuse Store present VICTORIAN DARKNESS.
A night of unrelenting and oppressive black metal featuring three unique bands, each bringing forth their own amalgamations of cacophonous sounds to impose an atmosphere of triumphant catharsis.
Opening the night with their debut live performance will be the Victorian two piece known as DEBAUCHER. Not entirely unknown to the Victorian Black Metal Underground, this duo brings forth a unique brand of blazing melancholy that pays homage to the early French black metal sound. Not to be missed!
Succeeding them, live for the first time in Victoria will be ARDERE. Despite being based in the state for around 4 years, prior to this the band has only made a handful of live performances, the first being in Hobart in 2022, followed by shows in Brisbane and New Zealand over the following two years. Originally formed in Queensland in 2014 as a two piece, now with core members based in Tasmania/Victoria and with live members from as far as Western Australia and New Zealand, the time has come to bring their vicious and militant maelstrom to Melbourne. For those who are unacquainted, the contingents sound has drawn comparisons to stalwarts of the eastern European black metal scene, as well as a heavy Nordic influence, delivered with its own Australian heathen edge. This will likely be their only Victorian appearance in the forseeable future.
And finally to conclude the evening will be none other than Tasmania's CARVED CROSS. Little introduction is needed, this entity has made its mark as one of the most formidable and cult raw black metal bands to exist. With an extensive discography spanning over a decade, and live performances from their homeland of Tasmania to as far away as Italy and Denmark, the three piece now bring their harrowing and cold anti-harmonies to Victoria for this one night exclusively, there will be no escape from the utterly bleak presence inflicted by them.
For those wishing to purchase items, there will be a merchandise stand available for all bands as well as a small distro stall provided by OVERUSE STORE. Cash will be preferred, however other payment options should also be available.
Tickets available from Black Chaos Productions Big Cartel site.
