After more than a decade, British metal juggernauts SYLOSIS finally returned to Sydney, delivering a masterclass in modern metal. With Josh Middleton back at the helm full-time, the band was an unstoppable force, blending razor-sharp riffs, thunderous grooves, and Middleton’s signature vocal intensity. Fans had waited since Soundwave 2013 for this moment, and as soon as the first note hit, it was clear: the wait was absolutely worth it.
But the night didn’t just belong to Sylosis. Canadian deathcore leviathans ANGELMAKER unleashed absolute devastation with their signature multi-vocal assault, machine-gun riffage, and bone-crushing breakdowns. Their sound is pure, unrelenting chaos—blending blackened thrash, Floridian death metal savagery, and the sheer force of underground hardcore. Sydney had no idea what hit it.
Setting the stage for this night of metal carnage, Melbourne’s own LUNE kicked things off in explosive fashion. Their crushing set had the crowd headbanging early, proving why they’re quickly becoming one of Australia’s must-watch heavy acts.
Every moment of this night—the sweat, the chaos, the pure adrenaline—has been captured in stunning detail by Courtney Stark Imagery. Courtney’s talent for freezing raw energy in time makes these live shots something truly special. Whether you were in the pit or missed out, these images will make you feel like you’re right there, caught in the storm of riffs and roars.
