Freedom of Fear is no doubt one of the best kept secrets of Australia’s metal underground – an honour set to be shed following their worldwide signing to EVP Recordings. With respectful nods to everything from Death to Deafheaven, the band harnesses virtuosic ability to rival the excess of the greats of yesteryear, and a classy sensibility that enables them to maintain an acutely modern relevance, these youthful Adelaidians bridge the class of the old with the excitement of the new for a journey into extreme metal that simply begs for your full attention. With an electric video for ‘Purgatorium‘ directed by Colin Jeffs (Alpha Wolf, Aversions Crown) premiering now on the EVP Recordings YouTube channel, the band’s debut full-length ‘Nocturnal Gates’ will follow on August 2.
