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 have shared the first single from their soon-to-be-released second album.
On Hurricane, Threats are in full flight as the cathartic maelstrom music lovers from all corners of lutruwita/Tasmania have come to hold close to their hearts. Anchored buoyantly by Kane Parsell’s supple bass and Matt Cocks’ thunderous percussion, Bek Binnie’s guttural roar and Dale Evans’ churning guitar bluster tumultuously as Binnie declares “I will bite”. Throughout Hurricane, Threats provide chances to step back from the turbulence; lulls in the squall allowing space to recover until the next cresting wave of anguish rolls through.
Hurricane arrives paired with an enthralling video produced by nipaluna/Hobart gothic icon Black Paul (delivered to the band rural spy-ops style via a chook feed silo), and the much-anticipated news that Threats are ready to share their second album, Backward Alchemy, due out independently on November 15 and available to pre-order now.
