GALAXY On The Shore Of Life (2021) Vinyl

Australian heavy metal has always had a brutalist streak, something in the soil down here, and Melbourne's Galaxy carry that tradition without apology.

On The Shore Of Life sits in that sweet spot where classic heavy metal songwriting meets a darker, more unhinged energy, think the melodic ambition of Judas Priest filtered through something rawer and more southern hemisphere. For a local act drawing on the same bloodline as Mercyful Fate and Saxon while still sounding distinctly their own, this is a record that deserves a place in any serious Australian metal collection. Support the locals. Buy the wax.

Full-length album on black vinyl. Australian release, 2021.

Fans of: Flitcraft, Butterfly, Judas Priest, Mercyful Fate, Saxon
