BATPISS - There's A Place In My Mind Where We All Burn Alive Vinyl LP (2024)

Melbourne has never been short of bands willing to make something genuinely unpleasant, and Batpiss have spent the better part of a decade being very good at it.

There's A Place In My Mind Where We All Burn Alive (2024) is Australian noise rock at its most committed. Batpiss pull from sludge, post-punk, and psychedelic rock, not to smooth those edges into something palatable but to weaponise them. It is heavy and it is weird and it absolutely does not care whether you are comfortable. If you were there for the Sorry State-adjacent noise rock revival, or you know your way around Unsane and Amrep back catalogue, this record has your number. Australian made and proud of it, the kind of record that reminds you this country produces some of the most genuinely hostile music on earth.
