Australian newcomers Shiva are seeking to change the DNA of metal in their home country. Not seeking to reinvent the wheel necessarily, the band's blend of nu-metal, deathcore, and metalcore influences all meet on a collision course of heavy music. Straight from the heart of Sydney, Shiva's music hints at something heavier and more sinister, yet there's enough catchy choruses to have a wider-ranging appeal. Changes in speed and tempo seemingly come out of nowhere, they're aiming to take the scene by storm. If you like moshing and heavy riffs, you've come to the right place. Already having been spun by the likes of Lochlan Watt at Triple J and Hysteria Mag, who said that Shiva are "about to become an incredibly notable name in terms of Australian metal", the sky is the limit. Just one listen to their 2021 full-length Planet Eater will confirm the high praise they've received. The evolution has begun. 'Armageddon' Out Now!
