What is your genre, what is your style, what is your image?
Let’s face it, with every social demographic comes some form of ‘unspoken rules’ that introduce there own boundaries and limitations.
This ultimately stales the creative element and its associated ‘scene’.

And to be completely blunt… when it comes to ‘heavy’ music, they are some of the worst offenders.

Now enter Negatory. A four piece band, that create music on the basis of a quick wit, a mischievous grin and a heavy grooving good time with a healthy larrikin swagger that doesn’t follow rules, but reinvents them.

The story behind Negatory’s formation is a lengthy one; suffice to say that it started as a small flame in the hearts of Ben Marsh (guitar) and Daniel Spizzirri (vocals). Focusing less on how fast, technical and brutal potential members could play. The pair wanted to build a fundamental basis of ‘is this dude on the same wavelength as us?’
Eighteen months (and a lot of auditions) later, they came in the form of Christian Diaz (drums) and Kate Marsh (bass). So by late 2010, the manifestation of Negatory was complete.

Since that initial breath of life, the quartet continues to forge their bond and produce heavy music that is equal parts technical and simple, groovy then aggressive, fast but sometimes slow. This serves only to compliment their unconventional approach, to what a heavy metal band is ‘supposed to be like’.

Ready or not, here comes Negatory.

After six years, two EPs, one single and a commanding presence in the Melbourne live music scene, 2020 sees the release of a debut album from Alt-Metal 5-piece, Figures. On Operating In Unsafe Mode, the band’s distinctive take on melodic alternative metal is familiar, but violently ramps the intensity up in a significant way. With equal parts soaring melodies, blistering riffs and rage, their Alternative rock and metal influences are all unabashedly on display with a subtle but noticeable peppering of prog to keep the more refined local gig-going connoisseurs coming back for seconds. 

On the release of 2017’s Chronos, Metal Hammer UK had painted Figures as:
“...one of the most promising bands leading the charge, boasting a sound that's a muscular prog amalgamation of churning, drop-tuned riffs, scintillating melodies and multi-layered density...”

With a live resumé featuring an LA showcase, opening for international acts Hed (p.e.) and Pop Evil,  local legends Mammal, Voyager and Twelve Foot Ninja, as well as being PROGFEST regulars and headlining 2018’s AMPED Festival, the band has distinguished themselves as leaders in a new wave of heavy Aussie exports. You can experience the new sound of the Melbourne underground together with Figures on stage as the band ambitiously tours Operating In Unsafe Mode to the nation in 2021.
