FREEDOM OF FEAR

THEY ARE

a deadly fierce prog-metal outfit crashing down the gates of Adelaide to cover the nation in a wild amalgam of extreme melody and zealous rhythms. Freedom Of Fear were well-received at this year’s BIGSOUND showcase, and are only continuing to dominate an admittedly very complex and technical genre.

THEY SOUND LIKE

a very particular brand of crunch and craw that scribe Anna Rose adoringly brands “vomit metal” – heavy on the gutturals and unforgivingly brutal. Definitely check these guys out if you froth a good wall of death. The double-pedal bass drumming and the wonderfully demonic screech of the lead guitar is certainly attention-grabbing.

YOU’LL DIG THEM IF YOU LIKE

other fervent and septic styles of death metal – the more unleashed Deafheaven cuts, Alcest, Children Of Bodom and the like. Or, if you like the idea of Dragonforce coming down with a nigh-on fatal disease, then Freedom Of Fear are the band for you.

YOU SHOULD CHECK OUT

“The Consciousness Of Misery” from their most recent offering, NocturnalGates. The cut is exemplary of some pretty powerful proficiencies in each of Freedom Of Fear’s members – brutally majestic and incredibly gripping.
