One of Australia’s founding fathers of heavy metal is about to unleash his first new music in 22 years. 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.
Way back in ’82, a bunch of rag tag metalheads from the Western Sydney wastelands began to communicate with the rest of the world’s emerging metal scene. They were the first. Steve was at one time a penpal with arguably one of black metal’s most iconic figures, Bathory’s Quorthon!
While everyone was into Rose Tattoo, Buffalo or AC/DC, Steve and his mates went after the heaviest stuff they could get their hands on and finding nothing local to satisfy their hunger, created it themselves. Enter, Slaughter Lord. ‘perhaps the earliest and undoubtedly one of the most legendary of Australia’s extreme metal contingent’ – Brian Giffin: The Encyclopaedia Of Australian Heavy Metal.
Alone But For The Breath Of Beasts will be released on October 16
