Dyssidia release 'Children of Aether and Earth'

Last weekend Dyssidia launched our new EP 'Children of Aether and Earth' to a packed out crowd at Jive in Adelaide with support from Orsome Wells from Melbourne, as well as For Millenia and Born of Dust. The EP can be streamed for free and purchased here. 

Prior to the launch we released a music video for the first track on the EP 'Brittle Star' which can be viewed here. The video was filmed by Becky and Andy from Against the Grain Studio at the iconic Thebarton Theatre. 

Dyssidia will be playing interstate shows in support of the new release in late 2015/early 2016. 

More live Dyssidia footage from the Opeth show

Here is a 12 minute new song which will be on our upcoming EP. I recorded the drums for these tracks last week at Against the Grain Studio where I record pretty much everything. Recording for the other instruments is almost finished with mixing to commence soon!

Our next show is this Thursday the 21st of May with Voyager (WA) and Klone (France). more details here

Opeth and Dyssidia!

This week Dyssidia played with the legendary Opeth to a sold out crowd at The Gov! It was an absolute honour to meet and share the stage with our idols, and was certainly a night we will never forget. 

Next week I am heading into Against the Grain Studio to record the drums for Dyssidia's second EP which is 4 tracks spanning about 35 minutes of melodic progressive metal. This will be released in late July with a massive show featuring a couple of big name interstate bands to be announced soon. 

Our next show is with Voyager (WA) and Klone (France) at Jive on the 21st of July. You can order cheaper tickets here.

Here is a live track from the Opeth show, which is from the 1st EP "Quiet Waters". Stay tuned for video footage of new material that we played on the night. 

As well as teaching drum lessons to my regular students which is always rewarding, I have also been doing drum lessons with drummers from various Adelaide metal bands helping them with the heavier areas of their playing such as blast beats and double kicks. This has been very rewarding to see the improvement in my fellow metal band drummers and I implore all drummers who wish to improve in certain areas of their playing to contact me for a cheap drum lesson no matter what age, skill level and style you play. 

I have been teaching drums for about 7 years now and I am always happy to take on new students. Cheers!

Joining Dyssidia, upcoming recordings

Following on from the two shows I played with Adelaide prog legends Dyssidia in early 2015, I will be joining as a permanent member. These guys just ooze talent and are all incredibly diverse in their playing styles and songwriting. We have some very big shows coming up in the next few months to be announced soon. In addition, we will be recording an EP in the next couple of months.

In the Voros camp, we completed a successful run of shows in Melbourne, Sydney, Bendigo and Adelaide with some awesome bands including Hadal Maw, Truth Corroded, Kyzer Soze, Damnations Day and Daemon Pyre. We currently have the music for a full album written and are working on vocals for most of those tracks. I am aiming to get in the studio in the next few months to lay down the drums. We'll be playing a few Adelaide shows throughout the next few months while we finalise the album tracks.
