This month Scene Point Blank is pleased to debut the newest LP from Bréag Naofa, II. Out soon, the LP delivers 40 minutes of doom-ridden sludge that’s equally harsh and atmospheric.

The band, whose name roughly translates to “Holy Lie” explore issues that negatively affect the human experience, including (as their name suggests) religion.

Check it out below, and stay tuned for a new EP from the band as well.

II officially releases on August 11 via Halo of Flies (US) and Shove (Italy).

Three years after they successfully pulverized the nation, Kreator are back to thrash and grind Australian audiences into sheer bloodlusting ecstasy. Since the 1980’s Kreator have been unleashing powerful slabs of Teutonic thrash-metal upon their fans, and 2017 sees no letup in the onslaught, with the band’s latest opus“Gods Of Violence” receiving some of the most superlative reviews in the band’s career.

Joining Kreator on this crushing double bill is one of the Pioneers of the Death/Thrash scene, Vader, who return to Australia from Poland after 7 long years.
