ESP MAYHEM ‘Cyber Bully’ 7” launch with WELL, GIL CERRONE and HORMAGAUNT
Melbourne’s most sonically obnoxious and morally reprehensible bunch of sticky-fingered little shits have finally superglued enough other people’s intellectual property together to bring the cacophonous ‘Cyber Bully’ EP to fruition. ESP MAYHEM crassly fuse grindcore, gabber, industrial, metal and a blatantly slavish adhesion to the KLF’s dogma through the use of 3 keyboards, a drummer and vocals. Luddite ‘electronica’ for the primitive future.

==========================================
‘Support’/upstaging comes courtesy of 3 true powerhouses, consisting of:
𝐖𝐄𝐋𝐋 – This town’s supreme scions of the angular and bristling point where the weirder, more discordant ends of metal, hardcore and sludge met in the mid/late 90s and all genres hit their most rewarding sweet spots. These guys refuse to take their feet out of that beartrap to keep bleeding the rich blood of Kiss It Goodbye, Unsane, Breach and Neurosis.
𝐆𝐈𝐋 𝐂𝐄𝐑𝐑𝐎𝐍𝐄 – One of the recent wave of bands taking on the heroic task of stopping ‘screamo’ from being a dirty word. Heralding back to the fire-bellied explosions of arrhythmic dissonance and benign violence they take the pure essences of this abused and embattled genre and inject it full of fresh ideas, fantastic songs, tasteful dramatics and a heap of speed.
𝐇𝐎𝐑𝐌𝐀𝐆𝐀𝐔𝐍𝐓 – like the rest of the bill play a genre plagued with mediocrity and predictability but shove enough electricity up its ass to have the corpse brimming with new life. Nominally ‘old school death metal’ these guys know where the riches are hidden and are an unstoppable, uncontrollable example of making death metal exciting, inventive and engaging again, all the while staying exceptionally brutal.
