I, Protagonist
Beginning in the autumn of 2013, the idea was hatched to create a new project to work exclusively in the extreme arc of the metal spectrum. Concepts both high and low, were bandied around until the image of The Protagonist took shape. Appealing to each of our higher selves seemed to correlate with the musical style, and from that point, songs were begun, refined, and unleashed as 2017 began.
Ice On Mercury
Ice On Mercury have recently released their third and most acclaimed EP to date, Blind Leading The Lifeless. With that release, Ice On Mercury have firmly cemented their place as one of Australia’s next emerging hard rock metal acts and a band not to be overlooked.
