TREAD Rise From Silence CD

Australian metalcore before the genre got colonised by radio singles and Hot Topic aesthetics. TREAD were part of that early-2000s local heavy scene that operated mostly on word of mouth, sweat, and sheer conviction.

Released in 2009, Rise From Silence sits in that pocket where metalcore still had teeth, where the breakdowns meant something and the post-hardcore influence hadn't been scrubbed out in favour of clean choruses. This is Australian heavy music doing what it does when no one from overseas is watching, which is often when it gets interesting. Essential for anyone digging into the Melbourne and broader Australian metal underground.

Format: CD. Genre: Metalcore. Origin: Australia, 2009.

Fans of: Parkway Drive (early), The Amity Affliction (pre-mainstream), Carpathian.
