One of Australia’s founding fathers of heavy metal is about to unleash his first new music in 22 years! Watch the video for “Beyond What You See” now, below.
Steve Hughes, known to the world for the last two decades as the cutting edge stand up comedian who pulls no punches when it comes how he sees the state of current events, was one of the leading lights of the early heavy metal scene in Australia.
While making people laugh in comedy clubs, metal festivals and the like, Hughes never lost his metal roots and eventually, piece by piece crafted the songs featured on his debut EP Alone But For The Breath Of Beasts.
Steve comments on the new track: “The EP’s lead track, Beyond What You See, is about the Cabal’s efforts in mind control and information versus humanity’s shamanic spirituality. Confronting the shadows and dualism that exists there and realising you are more than the three dimensional existence they will have you believe you are.”
As for the title, Alone But For The Breath Of Beasts, itself? “You’re alone, look after you don’t worry about the outside, focus inward, do it for yourself by yourself….no one is coming to save you!”
And of Steve Hughes – Eternum as the name of the project? “Eternum was the last track on the first Naxzul album so I named it that. Just like Motörhead was a Hawkwind song, so I guess I pulled a Lemmy!”
Alone But For The Breath Of Beasts will be released on October 16 via Dinner For Wolves. Pre Orders Available Now!
