Five-piece metalcore band, Alienist, from Wollongong, New South Wales, did not disappoint with their latest release ‘Severance,' which features distorted guitar riffs, powerful vocals, and solid drum fills. Severance showcases their modern take on heavy metal to the likes of artists such as Northlane and Polaris.
Forming just last year, Alienist have had a promising beginning with their two singles, and show no signs of slowing down. Featuring all the hallmarks of a typical metalcore song, Alienist take it one step further to prove they’re not messing around. We’re talking double-kicks and breakdowns galore!
