With the countdown to Necrosonic Festival at The Mansfield Tavern in Brisbane on August 31 now on, HEAVY thought it appropriate to introduce you to the bands playing on the day, two at a time, starting from today until the day of the show.
Conjured by one of the dark architects behind the legendary Overcranked, Inferno and Dead of Winter Festivals, Necrosonic heralds a day filled with unrelenting brutality and the heaviest, most sinister sounds that the underworld has to offer, some even returning from the dead for the ritual.
Hosting 30 bands across three stages over 12 hours, Necrosonic Festival promises to satiate even the heaviest of hungers. Today, we introduce you to Astrodeath and Slowcut.

SLOWCUT
Hailing from Meanjin/Brisbane, SLOWCUT is a five-piece post-metal band that pushes the boundaries of the genre, creating immersive soundscapes that combine the weighted force of sludge with atmospheric post-rock elements, creating a unique blend that leaves audiences captivated. Drawing inspiration from genre-defining acts such as Russian Circles, ISIS and Amenra, SLOWCUT adds their own touch of cosmic noise, evoking images of intergalactic mining operations on asteroids deep in space.
Since their live debut in July of 2022, SLOWCUT has quickly made their mark on the scene with their stunning live performances. Their ability to craft beautiful and visceral musical landscapes has left audiences in awe, immersing them in a cathartic journey of sound. With massive, sonically pummelling riffs, SLOWCUT’s live shows have become a must-see for fans of heavy and intense music.
