Just uploaded this drum playthrough of one of the more chaotic tracks from Mr Ivanyi. This was uploaded to facebook leading up to the show we did with Katatonia the other week but I thought I should probably get it on the youtubes.

Howdy all! Dyssidia released our third EP 'Of Delight and Despair' last Friday the 4th of November which we celebrated by playing the first show of our tour in Brisbane with the mighty Caligula's Horse! Listen/buy the EP here. We also released a music video for the track 'An Absolute Severance' which was filmed/directed/edited etc by the very talented Adrian Goleby (see below). This weekend we play Perth and Adelaide also with C-Horse, then Sydney with Perth veterans Chaos Divine, followed by Progfest in Melbourne with both of the aforementioned bands plus many more of the best prog bands Australia has to offer!
Following these shows, I'll be heading up to Sydney to play with instrumental prog metal guitarist James Norbert Ivanyi and his band, this time supporting Swedish legends Katatonia!
Then the night after on the 9th of December it's back to Adelaide to support Katatonia with Dyssidia!
Greetings, see below for some photos and footage from the recent Voros tour in Taiwan and China. We had an absolute blast and can’t wait to go back! Check out the Voros Facebook page for more photos and footage. *Click the below photo to go to the next photo in the gallery.
I’m happy to announce that I will be playing with Sydney based progressive metal guitarist James Norbert Ivanyi and his band on the 23rd of September in Sydney as part of the Circles Egression Tour. I’ve been a fan of James’ music for the past couple of years now so it’s great to be given the opportunity to tackle this very challenging music!
I’ve got some big shoes to fill with this gig, with Rob Brens (Alarum, Hadal Maw) having played the past live shows with James as well as the Melbourne leg of this tour. Drums on James’ three releases were recorded by David Horgan (Orobouros), whose drum parts display a mastery of metal drumming as well as more fusion-oriented playing.
Check out James' releases here.
Speaking of instrumental guitar virtuoso’s, Dyssidia will be supporting Plini once again at Fowlers Live on the 9th of September. Fresh off massive tours in Europe & North America with Animals as Leaders & Intervals, Plini and his band have brought Intervals (US) along for the ride this time.
Then, the day after on the 10th of September I will be playing with my old band Double Dragon at the New Dead Festival along with King Parrot, Ruins, Disentomb, Truth Corroded and many more. To celebrate the 10 year anniversary of ‘Scars of Fire’, we will be playing the EP in full along with a couple of other DD classics. It’s sure to be a huge day as the New Dead Festival has grown to be one of the biggest heavy music festivals in Australia, with many punters from interstate planning to make the trek to Adelaide for the occasion.
This time next week, myself and the rest of the Voros lads will be en route to Taiwan to kick off our first overseas tour! First up we're playing Wake Up Festival in Chiayi City, followed by a headlining show in Taipei. Then it's off to China for 3 shows.
But before I head off on this tour, I'm recording the third Dyssidia EP at Against the Grain Studio, to be released in late 2016.
Once we come back from the tour, both Voros & Dyssidia are supporting one of my favourite bands: progressive/melodic death metal legends Be'lakor. This show should be a big one!
To top things off, I'll be filling in with a couple of high profile Australian acts later in the year, both in Adelaide and interstate. Stay tuned for those announcements.
It's been quite a long time since I've posted on here; I've been really busy, I swear! Since my last update, Voros released our debut album, played shows in Melbourne, Sydney & Brisbane, as well as shows in our home town of Adelaide playing alongside legends such as At the Gates (Swe) and Psycroptic. We're back in Sydney this weekend for the Under the Southern Cross metal festival featuring some of Australia & New Zealand's finest heavy acts, and rumour has it that we may be doing an Asian tour in the middle of the year....Keep up to date with Voros happenings here. Stream the album here, buy it here.
On the Dyssidia front, we have been playing some pretty big shows since the release of the band's second EP in August. These include supports for Between the Buried and Me, Trivium & Chon from the US, Tesseract from the UK, and Psycroptic, Ne Obliviscaris & Plini from little old Oz. We'll be finally embarking on some interstate shows in the coming months as well as releasing another EP later this year. Below are the posters for the shows we had the pleasure of playing in 2015.
