If – like HEAVY – you like your tunes dark, theatrical, and packed with an absolute mountain of sonic intensity, then you have no doubt heard of Pyrefly. HEAVY had the pleasure of sitting down with the band, one of the most mesmerizing and devastating acts currently tearing up the Australian underground scene. If you haven’t caught their live ritual yet, you are seriously missing out on some of the finest heavy music this country has to offer.
The countdown is officially on for the ultimate night of entertainment this Halloween: Hollowfest 2026. This absolute monster of a festival is gearing up to completely take over the Mansfield Tavern on Saturday, October 31 and with 20 heavy acts spread across two stages and unleashing 12 hours of sheer carnage, it is shaping up to be a legendary night. Having Pyrefly thrown directly into that mix is like pouring absolute rocket fuel straight onto a raging bonfire.
In this chat, the band and I dive deep into their preparation for the festival, how they intend to elevate their jaw-dropping performance for the rabid Hollowfest crowd, and what it feels like to share the stage with massive local legends like We The Hollow and Where The Devil. We also get a bit of a cheeky look into what else they have cooking behind the scenes and why the local heavy scene is currently kicking more goals than ever before. So, grab yourself a cold one, crank this up to eleven, and check out the full chat below.
Hollowfest is at the Mansfield Tavern on October 31. Tickets HERE
