with special guests Thousand Below (usa), Diamond Construct & Headwreck

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.

‘HYPERVIOLENCE’ is the evolution of the group’s fresh and unique sound. Drawing from a broad spectrum of sounds ‘HYPERVIOLENCE’ plays into each individual member’s strengths and influences, breaking new ground and extending the confines of modern metalcore with a potent mix of hip hop, EDM, hardcore, hyper pop and alternative rock.

“HYPERVIOLENCE" is our most realised and focussed work to date. It captures the blending of genres that has become synonymous with Windwaker’s sound over the last 5 years while also delivering on a more mature and cohesive front to back listening experience,”muses Guinane.

Thematically the album is framed around a mind that is conflicted in identity and self confidence, contrasting two opposing personalities that exist in one host - introvert and extrovert, cold and compassionate, quiet and chaotic, light and dark, optimist and pessimist. These two personalities despise each other, but ultimately cannot co-exist without the other. The album takes listeners on a journey that concludes in acceptance.
