A track defined by grief, loss and anguish. “Hell On Earth” informs the album art for “Terra Inferna” as we see a lone traveler with a long, perilous road in front of him. In the distance however, a beacon of light is just visible through the uncertainty of the fog.
Lupton comments, “Writing this was immensely difficult but at the same time therapeutic. Songwriting for me is a way to tackle the darkness. While this one is deeply personal, I think a lot of people will be able to take something from this and feel validated. Even down to the recording of this song, we created a dark space in the studio. It was just me alone with these lyrics I had written and finally a way to get them out in the way I had intended. It was like a weight had been lifted, screaming those first few lines out.”

MORE ABOUT THE BAND:
2024 couldn’t have started stronger for Flaming Wrekage. A string of Australian headline shows and a well reviewed single, has given the band the opportunity to share the stage with one of Swedens most revered acts, Katatonia.

Being billed with bands outside of the thrash sphere, yet still having the songs to captivate a fan base such as Katatonias is a rarity in modern metal and a challenge that this Aussie quartet are more than ready for.
Ten years in the game brings with it a sense of maturity. Unbound by any defined genre of metal, Flaming Wrekage is a force stronger than the sum of its parts. Bringing a staggering range of influences to the table, the Sydney quartet create a sound that transcends the typical sub genres of heavy music. With three full length albums in the bag, this is merely the tip of the spear for these Aussie metallers.
Their take-no-prisoners attitude and fierce live show has enthralled audiences throughout Europe, Indonesia and Australia. They’re no strangers to sharing stages with metal royalty, having opened for the likes of Soilwork (SWE), Unearth (US), Power Trip (USA), Omnium Gatherum (Fin), and Psycroptic.

Step into a world where control has been ripped away, and your thoughts and actions are at the mercy of an unknown beast. This is “Witch Hunt” – a relentless journey through the uncertain darkness of the mind. With this blistering track, Flaming Wreckage sets the tone for their most accomplished work yet, defined by a characteristic blend of mosh pit inducing thrash and soaring melodies.
With “Witch Hunt,” Flaming Wrekage bursts through the gates with a new statement of savagery. The track takes the bull by the horns in what can only be described as a relentless display of thrash/death metal. Luptons vocals set the tone, “Crucified on the surface of the sun” being the first line. Arguably one of the more brutal ways to start an album. This gives way to pummelling riffs and a driving rhythm, taking the song into a strong, harmonious chorus. This is all before Juzz Humphry fires off a ripping guitar solo, complete with his signature melodic flair.
The first single from their yet to be announced new album, comes after the success of their previous full length “Cathedral Of Bones”. The album saw favourable reviews from Metal Hammer Germany, Metal.de and The Rockpit whilst the lead single “Running Blind”, propelled the band into various editorial playlists, including Spotifys’ “Thrashers” and Deezers “Thrash Legacy”.
