ESP MAYHEM @ Last Chance 08/02/2025

Prepare yourself for total extreme aural obliteration at the hands of 4 of Melbourne’s finest heavy bands. The Last Chance is presently reinforcing the foundations and iron-cladding the dunnies in preparation for what is guaranteed to be a night of brutal intensity.
Tumour kick off the night with scorching death metal, that will peel your skin, shatter teeth and burn out eyes.
Second up is the frantic spasmodic cyborg-grind-epilepsy that is ESP Mayhem, continually blowing minds with their extreme synth-fused berserk shitfest.
Next up and pounding the Last Chance foundations to dust with their insanely heavy cacophony of hate, will be the crushing and bowel destroying onslaught of Religious Observance.
Finally, with an aural assault that will blast the ceiling off and pummel already bleeding eardrums to mush, will be the frenzied and relentless viscous thrash/grind attack of Pissbolt.

ESPM – Cyber Bully OUT NOW

Recorded + Mastered by Jason Fuller at Goatsound / Mixed by Xavier Irvine at Loaf / Copyright infringement + layout by ESP MAYHEM – ”What’s mine is mine / What’s yours is also mine”

So psyched with how this turned out! This is our first recording that really nails the ESPM sound – thick, loud, unique, crazy! Technically ESPM is a very hard band to record & mix but Jason & Xavier did an amazing job getting it all together while being mercilessly overseen, scrutinised and nitpicked by us.
Stream it on Bandcamp or Spotify, physical copies available through the emails in the flyer above and also at The Searchers in Melbourne, Repressed in Sydney or Bad Habit in Nambour, and more distros and shops as we spread it around.

ESP MAYHEM – Cyber Bully EP launch

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.
