You can pre-order The Last Hero via Nerve Gas, HERE.
COLUMBUS
Brisbane trio Columbus are gearing up for the release of their debut album Spring Forever via UNFD on August 26th.

WE SET SAIL
Another quality Brisbane act, We Set Sail, will be releasing their second studio album in Feel Nothing come September 26th! Recorded and mixed over the last two years by the band, the process has finally reached a satisfying end for the group and now it’s just a matter of time before it gets out to the fans. You can pre-order one of the special and limited edition vinyl copies of Feel Nothing via the band’s BandCamp HERE.
ACOLYTE
Melbourne prog metal group Acolyte will be releasing their debut album Shades of Black on August 5th, available for pre-order now! Heading into the studio to put this bad boy together late 2014, the band worked with award-wining producer Ben Ehrenberg (Shihad) throughout the sessions, spawning some incredible instrumental and vocally driven pieces.
