One of the fastest rising acts of the burgeoning Australian progressive music scene, Ballarat’s Ebonivory have released a brand new track from their forthcoming album.
Ebonivory vocalist, Charlie Powlett says of the track; “Explosions After Dark is an escalation of aggression for Ebonivory; it represents the darkest edge of our sound spectrum. We’re excited to be releasing something brimming with chaotic emotions and soundscapes, mirroring the unheard stories that brought us to where we are today. Although initially written several years ago, its lyrical nature only became more relevant as time went on; dealing with issues such as differentiation and cruelty through the lens of modern science fiction. We’re hoping that fans, old and new, allow these crashing auditory waves to wash over them and feel the chilling multiplex of themes hidden in this song’s depths.”
The last twelve months have seen Ebonivory rise through the Progressive ranks to be a commanding live act. A whirlwind performance at Australia’s acclaimed PROGFEST festival, alongside international heavyweights The Ocean (Germany), Monuments (UK) and Skyharbor (India/USA) kicked off 2019 in a big way for the guys. They then went on to support alt-rock powerhouse Dead Letter Circus and traversed the country with progressive rock juggernaut Circles for The Winter Tour.
The bands singles Patting the Black Dog and Tales Of Termina landed coverage with PROG Magazine (UK), Triple J’s “The Racket”, Spotify’s “Homegrown + Heavy” Playlist, and Rage.
Ebonivory have teamed up with one of the scenes most prominent bands, Sydney’s Glass Ocean for the After Dark tour which kicked off in Brisbane on the weekend and continues into March with shows in Melbourne and Sydney taking place this weekend!
In May, Ebonivory will be heading to the US and Canada with arguably Australia’s finest prog rock outfit, Caligula’s Horse for an epic 26 date tour!
