about

Melbourne’s Diploid fuse elements of screamo, black metal, noise rock, and powerviolence to create caustic new forms of sonic violence.

Their experimental approach sears the psyche with bursts of swirling blackened noise, crackling feedback, and distorted screams -- calling to mind a mix of Orchid, Oathbreaker, Full Of Hell, and Circle Takes The Square.

Hashshashin's music is a bold fusion of sound and style, excitingly blending power with finesse to create sounds from another world. Urgent compositions possessing thunderous speed are swiftly countered by moody passages where darkness lies – each track attracts with unique attributes. Michael Reilly

A sonic onslaught, this debut is a winding, complex monster of metallic Prog and Mathy Metal. The incredible accuracy in pulling of daredevil time signatures is all under-pinned by melody and catchy hooks. Take,’ Swagger’, like a Djent band stuck in the studio and vying for control with a particularly raucous version of Lightning Bolt – the precision is jaw-dropping. Elsewhere, I get hints of ‘Power to Believe’ era King Crimson. Fitting, as Serious Beak is a true 21st century schizoid band. Logen Ninefingers
