Hailing from Newcastle Australia, Telurian are a cathartic compound of furious tension and magnificent release. Defined by bone-crushing heaviness and raw emotional expression, they use a combination of extended-range guitars and dizzying rhythmical patterns to craft music that matches the intense subject matter of their songs.
Drawing influence from bands like Meshuggah, Lorna Shore, Cult of Luna and Gojira Telurian seek to make music that sounds unique but doesn’t feel completely unfamiliar in the modern metal landscape.
Originally forming just before the covid pandemic, the band was able to use that time to focus on their passion for making music together through improvisation -pushing the limits of their technical and song writing abilities. With a setlist of material under their belt, Telurian launched last year playing several local shows and culminating with appearances at Thrashville and West Best Bloc Fest. To close out the year, the band hit the studio with good friend and producer Mitta Norath, putting down their first two tracks Arachnid and Of Earth.
Telurian look to begin 2023 by releasing their debut 2 track EP Of Earth, but with plenty more songs in the bank and time in the studio looming, this is just the start of what they have planned for 2023.
Check out the track Of Earth below.
