The breathtaking progressive instrumental Melbourne trio, featuring two other-worldly intertwining bassists, Matt Fack and Toby Peterson-Stewart, backed by flamboyant drummer Jerome Lematua, create an extraordinary mosaic that dances between progressive rock, djent, funk, and synth-driven soundscapes. Overflowing with charisma, swagger, and an unrivalled showmanship, The Omnific have captivated audiences around the world, with their awe-inspiring technical prowess and an incredibly unique live show. The band have been hand-picked as special guests for internationally renowned acts such as Polyphia, Between The Buried And Me, Intervals, Ne Obliviscaris, Twelve Foot Ninja, Cog, and Galactic Empire.

The group’s 2021 monumental debut album Escapades (Wild Thing Records) achieved significant international acclaim with Metal Hammer proclaiming “a bright future for the instrumental outfit”, impressively landing #3 on the Australian AIR Independent Album Charts. Escapades also features Clay Gober of Polyphia as guest bassist on the single 'Antecedent', which received a colossal reception internationally - exceeding a combined one million plays on YouTube and Spotify. With the young virtuosic band clocking in over 12 million Spotify streams and four million YouTube views to date, The Omnific elevated their career to new heights with the release of Escapades.

Joining The Omnific are one of Australia’s most talked about breakthrough heavy acts, Future Static. The Melbourne quintet create an exhilarating synthesis of alternative, melodic, and progressive to shape a unique brand of emotional heavy music which is unlike any other. Led by electrifying Melbourne born, Barcelona raised frontwoman Amariah Cook, and backed by the band’s swagger and blazing rock fury, experiencing Future Static is an aural and visual explosion of seismic proportions.

Following acclaimed singles 'Waves' (2021) and 'Venenosa' (2022), Alex Baker of Kerrang! Radio proclaimed “Big things are on the horizon for this band”. On the live front, the group have taken Australia by storm including festival performances at Knight & Day and Unify Forever, plus being hand-picked as special guests for Eurovision alumnus Voyager, Jinjer, and Alpha Wolf, just to name a few. Between debut international tour dates, and the release of their highly anticipated debut LP incoming, 2023 is shaping up to be nothing short of explosive for Future Static.
