Since bursting out into the music scene in 2007 Death Audio’s massive sound has continued to push the boundaries of metal fans worldwide. This Heavy Melodic Blend of Metal / Hardcore & Rock will grab your attention and the band will earn your respect. They live hard, they play hard, but most important of all, they work hard at it.
A group of 5 humble guys all hailing from very different walks of life set out to create a band that allows them to transform their passion and emotions derived from everyday life and life experiences into music with like minded individuals that have one thing in common; the love of music to death. This is Death Audio with members Will Borland, Karl Steller, Josh Cahill, Phil Gee & Tim Annett. The five piece demonstrate their joint passion not only through their music, but also through their life experiences, live shows, and loyalty to their fans, Death Audio don’t hold much back. This band is not afraid of pursuing a new sound, they recognise that they all have different musical interests, which ensures that they bring a unique diversity that keeps them interesting.
A band such as Death Audio is hard to ignore. In 2010 Death Audio tore up the stage at the Soundwave Festival, people took notice and many loyal fans were recruited on that day. Death Audio picked up momentum though playing 7 international supports in 14 months, sharing the stage with bands such as Static X (USA), HellYeah (USA), Unearth (USA), The Black Dahlia Murder (USA), Soilwork (SWE), Darkest Hour (USA), and Carnifex (USA) and after winning “Best New Band” in the Australian Metal Awards in 2009. Death Audio has had a definate impact in social media and is in demand all over the world.
Death Audio has proven to be a band worth investing in, with endorsements from Monster Energy, Krank Amps, ESP Guitars, DR Strings, Seymour Duncan Pickups, TC Electronics, Pro Mark Sticks, Evan drumheads, Ovation Guitars, Ddrum, Morley and Maxon Pedals. They have released three singles over the past years and a lot of hard work, time and funds have been poured into the bands up and coming self titled debut album, which is due to be released soon and it will not disappoint.
Whether you like them or not, Death Audio is here to stay!!!!
“Aggressively melodic Death Audio, who smashed through an intense set. This was the first gig I’ve been to in a long time, where the support acts were matched very closely to the genre of the main act, and this was evident with Death Audio, who were definitely worthy of this support slot.”
Faster & Louder
“Melbourne home-grown Death Audio, the supporting band, with the similar sounds of Killswitch Engage, jumped straight into a song, pumping the crowd, winding up he audience with their brutally energetic routine playing their 45 min set and getting us all ready for Hellyeah”
Metal Obsession
““Death Audio’s “Place the Blame” is just what I’ve been looking for, heavy enough to drive me to molesting nuns, melodic enough to make me want to spoon with them after, provided their nun bed isn’t full of nun crap. You know, from all the sodomy.””
Jared Hasselhoff - Evil Jared/Bloodhound Gang
"Death Audio is like the offspring of Five Finger Death Punch and Killswitch Engage after a night of dirty sex... a killer balance of brutality and melody."
Krank Amps
““Monster production, walls of riffs and an attitude that makes its intentions very clear – The band are from Melbourne but have a truly international sound and could work well anywhere and everywhere” -”
Chris Maric - Riot Entertainment
“Death Audio; a band who reinforce the age-old adage that one should never judge a book by its cover. Sure, they may have looked like an unusual bunch of blokes with their guitarist’s tight, stripy pants and their vocalist’s full figure, but looks account for very little when a band like this begins to play their brand of Killswitch Engage/Strapping Young Lad-esque metal. Adding a well-needed touch of vocal melody to the night’s festivities, it was actually quite refreshing hearing the members of Death Audio open up their pipes and sing during an evening when screaming/shouting was the most common way to convey lyrics on stage. These Melbourne metallers had a stage presence and charisma about them that proved why they have been worthy of playing festivals as notable as Soundwave.”
