Escaping The Grind With TONEBONE From REMAINS

Interview by Kris Peters
Melbourne grindcore/death metal outfit Remains are making their way to Queensland in the near future, nailing down one of thirty spots at the inaugural Necrosonic Festival to be held at Brisbane's Mansfield Tavern on August 31.
Despite forming only five years ago, Remains have quickly built a formidable reputation on the live circuit, with the vast experience of members - who have previously been in highly reputed bands such as Blood Duster, Captain Cleanoff, The Kill, Fuck I’m Dead, King and The Day Everything Became Nothing - helping Remains gain an early solid fan base until the sheer brutality of their music forced others to follow suit.
HEAVY recently caught up with Tonebone to find out what Brisbane can expect.
In the full interview, Tonebone talks about the atmosphere backstage at larger local festivals, who he is most looking forward to seeing, the re-emergence of the Australian metal festivals, what to expect from a Remains live performance, three songs to listen to in order to get to know the band, their style of music and how best to describe it, establishing their own identity with a collection of members from other well-known bands, new music, future plans and more.
