LORD KAOS 

One of Australia’s earliest major black metal bands, Lord Kaos generated international acclaim by the time of their seminal debut album Thorns Of Impurity, with founding guitarist Astennu going on to relocate to Norway and join both Dimmu Borgir and Covenant. 

Reactivated with Astennu back at the helm, Lord Kaos made their successful live return in 2023 as main support to I Am Morbid, and have been hard at work on a powerful new album. 

Following on from their recent first full headlining show in Sydney with Astennu in over 25 years, Lord Kaos now play The Vanguard for the first time. Expect to hear classic tracks from Thorns Of Impurity and their 1995 demo Path To My Funeral Light, along with a preview of the forthcoming album.

CRUCIFORM

Returning to The Vanguard stage for their first Sydney show of 2024, Sydney Death-Doom pioneers Cruciform’s signature sound balances pumelling riffs and hypnotic atmosphere.  

Since their reformation in 2012, the band have played alongside such major international acts as Immolation, Paradise Lost, Incantation and Dead Congregation.

Expect to hear a mixture of classic tracks from their early days alongside crushing new material.

THE VEIL

 The Veil's distinctive sound draws from both Peaceville Doom and Post-Punk, with elements of Black Metal, Shoegaze and dark folk. 

The band has shared stages with Alcest, Anathema, Uriah Heep, and Nazxul among others, and also made an appearance at the cult Dublin Doom Days festival in Ireland.

Along with some old favourites, The Veil will be previewing a number of spellbinding new songs written since their return from hiatus, as the long awaited 3rd album draws nearer.
