Thrashville returns to the lush bushland of Dashville in Lower Belford, Hunter Valley, on Saturday, 27 June 2026. Celebrated as the region’s heaviest music gathering, this inclusive, single-day outdoor festival delivers a high-energy feast of punk, hard rock, and heavy metal across four vibrant stages.
Following a medical cancellation by US punk band FEAR, homegrown legends Cosmic Psychos will headline the powerhouse lineup alongside premier acts like Disentomb, The Bennies, and Dregg. Beyond the music, attendees can enjoy pro-skateboarding displays, a walk-in tattoo parlour, live graffiti art, local food, and onsite camping.
HEAVY sent each band a short Q&A in order to get to know them a bit better. Today, we get better acquainted with Immortal Within.
Immortal Within is a rising, independent Australian metalcore and hardcore band making waves with their aggressive, heavy-hitting soundscapes. The group features a tight, collaborative dynamic driven by Lyric Silk on guitar and vocals alongside Lenny on drums and vocals.
Known for unleashing intense musical chaos, their music delivers a relentless combination of crushing riffs, blistering solos, and bone-shaking breakdowns perfect for the mosh pit. They have steadily built up an underground following through high-energy singles like Butterfly Riots and Mirage, culminating in their hard-hitting release, A Useless End.
