Fresh from supporting Australian heavy music royalty Mindsnare on their first voyage across the Bass Strait in 20 years, nipaluna/Hobart horticulturally-tinged hardcore heroes Threats will soon unleash their long-awaited second album Backward Alchemy – due for release independently on November 15 and available to pre-order on 12” silver swirl vinyl now.
Recorded at Mona’s Frying Pan Studios in 2023, Backward Alchemy “captures those delicate moments at the turning point of something great turning to shit; gold to lead”. The album traverses challenging terrain, weighing heavily on our chests, as Threats examine the agony of loss with excruciating rigour. Sonically it is expansive; its hardcore punk heart coloured by shades of industrial, doom, and experimental noise, as the band trek through a scorched landscape of emotional devastation.
