Australia’s WINDWAKER have announced their brand new album HYPERVIOLENCE, which is out 12th July 2024 via Fearless Records. Pre-order it here.  To celebrate the band have shared the video for the industrial-tinged banger “Break the Rules.”

“‘Break the Rules’ explores the exchange between two different personalities and the prospect of living life to its fullest,” the band shares. “One side is wild and willing to act out regardless of consequence, encouraging the other, who is more reserved and considerate, but ultimately unable to live beyond the rules of society (and therefore unable to live care-free like the former). To put it plainly, it’s a conversation between an introvert and an extrovert trying to highlight why their way of life is superior to the other, all while accepting the benefit to both approaches.”

Shattering all restraint, Windwaker tear at the seams of their sonic boundaries, refining and finessing their craft into something truly unique. Concocting an unsuspecting recipe of electro-charged violence, sickly sweet pop hooks, bouncing hip-hop moments and slick riffage, the charismatic quintet move towards exciting new territory with each new release. And HYPERVIOLENCE is the summit of their efforts.

Emerging out of Melbourne, Victoria, the Australian outfit has cultivated a dedicated and passionate fanbase, amassing millions of digital streams since their inception in 2017. Last July’s release, “SIRENS,” has cracked over 2.5 million Spotify streams in just a few months time, and saw the band travel across the nation in celebration on the Love In The Dark Tour with Caskets (UK) and alt., selling out nearly every date along the way.

The band’s debut album Love Language was released in 2022 via Fearless Records and Cooking Vinyl, demonstrated an unpredictable and undeniable exploration of love across 12 tracks. Windwaker translate their electric and eclectic energy on record to the live stage, with JB Hi-Fi’s STACK Magazine last year reviewing: “From full-on mosh to sensitive slowdance, the five-piece delivered a propulsive statement on the status of modern metalcore.” The band have carved their name into the core of Australia’s alternative music community and have toured alongside some of metal’s most favored acts — Beartooth (US), I Prevail (US), Motionless In White (US), Enter Shikari (UK), Caskets (UK), Creeper (UK), Northlane, and more.
