Snakes of Iron, Mothra, Fictional Response and Old Kingdom

Snake of Iron
Snakes Of Iron formed in the early stages of 2008 with a strong line up of pop, metal, blues and hardcore backgrounds. Feeling out their position in NZ's music scene they quickly discovered that they would fit in anywhere. Heavily influenced by low down and dirty grooves, the band has a 6 track EP out that has independently sold very well, with a full length debut album soon to be released.

Fictional Response
Fictional Response blur the lines between heavy rock and electronica, taking catchy guitar riffs and mixing them with synthesisers and a combination of electronic and live drums.

The music draws from diverse inspirations. With a vocal style influenced by Linkin Park and guitar riffs that stand up to those of Deftones and Korn.

FR's trademark is loud, explosive bursts of noise combined with softer, more ambient textures. A dynamic and innovative blend of different genres.

Old Kingdom
After formation in March 2011, Old Kingdom has set out to create a new brutal blend of the extremes of metal. Mixing eerie augmentation and crushing breakdowns with melodic and progressive elements. Culminating in a mix of slamming death, ambient black metal, and groove soaked rhythms.
