WILD THING
Liminality is a fierce debut from this Melbourne band. Lead singer Amariah Cook has an impressive range, from ethereal to ferocious, finding vocal chemistry with bassist Kira Neil. Roach Queen is wildly hooky, Iliad is fast and breathy, Will I? is quirky, stripped down and dreamy with a soaring guitar solo. Plated Gold should please Paramore fans, with effective guest vocals courtesy of Make Them Suffer’s Sean Harmanis. The Embers provides a brutal close due to Amariah’s deeper roars. This fusion of progressive metal, poppy overtones, alt rock and theatrical flair does Future Static proud.
