Making their mark on the Australian metal scene since 2016, Melbourne act Primitive are set to strengthen their presence and demand the attention of the unsuspecting, with the release or their second single ‘God Is Beneath Us’ and new EP ‘With The Rats And Snakes’.
Without limiting themselves to a particular sub-genre, Primitive incorporate their brand of abrasive yet memorable riffs, solos, grooves and hooks – sounding something reminiscent of the wave of early 2000’s American Heavy Metal & Metalcore styles.
Frontman/guitarist Tim Gauci comments “‘God Is Beneath Us’ is considered in our camp to be one of, if not the best Primitive song to date. The blend of thrash and groove is something we find really enjoyable to write, and I think will translate really well in a live setting. We can’t wait to see the pit go hard with this one!”
‘With The Rats And Snakes’ is to be officially launched September 9th at The Bendigo Hotel and September 10th at Sound Systems Studio Bar with Sydney thrash/death metal titans Flaming Wrekage.
Since their debut and critically acclaimed self-titled EP (2017), and single ‘For the Weak’ (2019), the band have shared the stage nationally and internationally with Max and Iggor Cavalera, Alien Weaponry, Psycroptic, Fleshgod Apocalypse, The Crown, Origin and more. The new EP ‘With The Rats And Snakes’, exhibits a further expansion to their relentless sound and solidifies themselves as worthy contenders to reach the heights of some of metal’s biggest and most respected heavy hitters.
