Perth cerebral metallers Nucleust have had a giant 2017. After releasing their debut full length album, Terra Cerebral in July via Rockpit Records, through Firestarter Distribution, they toured it nationally to ever increasing crowds and most recently supported UK tech masters Haken and rounded the year off in Europe supporting Six Feet Under over ten shows across the continent.
The band show no signs of slowing down and are preparing for an even bigger 2018. Recently they announced that their long time drummer, Shay Smith has departed the band with statements from both stating an amicable split [press release and audition info here]. Shay’s final hurrah with the band is by way of one final video from Terra Cerebral for the track ‘The Symphony Of Revenge‘.
The band comments on the track: “The instrumental of the track was written by guitarist Max Palizban with, the story in mind and vocalist Shannon Marston and Max wrote the lyrics together that tells the story of a fictional girl who is raped and her life is affected dramatically by this awful event. Her father who is unhappy with the result of an investigation decides to take matters into his own hands resulting in the demise of the rapist only to find that his vigilante justice although momentarily satisfying did not remove the pain from his daughter’s life. This changed all their lives forever not necessarily for the better. Some wounds will never heal.”
