More Details
NZ Music Month goes out with a head‑smashing triple‑bill featuring three of Tāmaki Makaurau’s heaviest, loudest, and most unrelenting acts. If you want riffs, chaos, and a room that shakes under its own weight — this is the send‑off.
The Lineup
HEAD LOCK GRAVE — bone‑grinding heaviness, snarling vocals, and riffs that hit like a steel door.
ZYFUS — groove‑driven metal with precision, punch, and zero mercy.
LEON ROUGE — alt‑metal intensity with soaring hooks and crushing breakdowns.
Three bands. One night. Maximum volume.
