Critical Mass

The first single ‘Burn the Bridge’ from our debut EP ‘The Fall’ is due for release on November 1st. Written about severing ties with toxic people who gaslight and manipulate to keep drawing us into their negativity, the song exudes raw emotion with its adrenaline fuelled instrumentation as it takes the listeners on a ride with chant along choruses, hard hitting rhythms and blistering riffage.

Burn The Bridge

We're leaving our troubles behind to sail the high seas. The wind and moon will guide us, and we'll live our lives free.

Sail Away

Lyrical themes of being stuck in a matrix/simulation, and having AI/Computers taking over.

The lyrics come from both sides of the story, with the verses being from the AI, telling us to embrace the future they have built, because there’s no way to escape it. The choruses then explore our point of view of trying to not be overwhelmed by an unfamiliar and confusing world that blurs the lines between what’s the reality we were born into, and what’s the new reality created by machines.

Oversimulation

Torizon’s upcoming EP, Meliora, is set to challenge social perceptions around miscarriage, grief, trauma, and recovery. Told across six tracks, it follows the tragic journey of Luna and Samson as they navigate the loss of a pregnancy and the societal stigma surrounding it. Designed as a social commentary, Meliora aims to spark conversation and foster understanding within the community. The title is derived from the Latin phrase “Ad Meliora,” meaning “towards better things.” Known for their evocative hooks, blistering riffs, vibrant synths, and frontwoman Mish Sharma’s commanding vocals, Torizon has been making waves globally, earning coverage on PROG, Pilerats, The Music, Kill Your Stereo, and more. With performances alongside Circles, Valhalore, Fifth Dawn, Days Like These and The Last Martyr, as well as appearances at Wallapalooza, AM//PM, and Jacaranda Festival, the band continues to push boundaries both musically and thematically.

Sober

Meanjin/Brisbane-based petalcore outfit Torizon unveil their emotionally charged single ‘Bloom’ – produced and mixed by Kalen Austin, and mastered by Mike Kalajian, Rogue Planet Studios (Bad Omens, Windwaker, Papa Roach).
‘Bloom’ dives headfirst into a maelstrom of razor-sharp riffs, hammering bass, and propulsive drums decorated with vibrant synth flourishes. Frontwoman Mish Sharma‘s dynamic vocals oscillate between searing ferocity and delicate fragility, while bassist Ben Gallaher‘s call-and-response melodies offer a dual perspective to the unfolding narrative of characters Luna and Sam moving through a harrowing miscarriage. Complete with a grandiose bridge and a cathartic solo underpinning the grief-stricken lyrics, the track uses the metaphor of a flower that never bloomed to convey profound loss.

Bloom

Imagine you are going along to a circus, to find out you are entering a cult that wants to sacrifice you. In your face loud, with fast riffs and catchy hooks, "No More Faith" is adrenaline filled and ready to take you on a ride.

No More Faith

Blistering the lines between grunge and melodic metal, Brisbane’s Flamboyant Nightmare are here to introduce their genre bending, high octane tunes. Featuring exhilarating fretwork, vibrant synths, cinematic orchestral arrangements, and a groove-oriented rhythm section bolstering Rachel Kate’s powerhouse vocals, the group delivers infectious melodies akin to Halestorm and Metallica.

From extravagant Victorian Gothic-esque outfits, Kate's deep gutturals and resonant cleans, chant along choruses to adrenaline fuelled instrumentation rooted in heavy metal riffage, grunge/heavy rock inspired rhythms, and killer 80’s throwback elements,  Flamboyant Nightmare’s explosive live performances are not to be missed. 

Fresh out of Big Tree Studios with innovative new material and a year jam packed with live shows, Flamboyant Nightmare are showing no signs of slowing down.
