LUMENS

Emerging from Adelaide, South Australia, LUMENS has quickly become a standout in the progressive metalcore scene with their relentless energy, innovative sound, and unapologetic authenticity. Since their debut in 2022 with HNSN, the four-piece—featuring Rhys Jackson Stars (vocals), George Carey (guitar), Henry Scott (bass), and Miles Sly (drums)—has made waves nationally, earning spots on editorial playlists (Homegrown + Heavy) and extensive airplay on Triple J. Their follow-up singles, Tamam Shud (2023) and Purist Hate (2023), cemented their reputation as one of the most exciting up-and-coming heavy acts, culminating in their recognition as Triple J Unearthed Feature Artist.

Known for their dynamic live performances, LUMENS combines blistering guitar solos, crushing breakdowns, and soaring melodies with a raw intensity that captivates audiences. Their music is more than sound; it’s an immersive experience—an intricate blend of heavy, abrasive textures and moments of stunning melodic clarity.

Now, with their highly anticipated self-titled debut EP, LUMENS explores the raw complexities of human existence. The EP dives deep into themes of inner battles, societal defiance, and the search for identity and freedom, weaving a sonic narrative that is both punishing and breathtaking. Every riff, breakdown, and melody reflects the tension between chaos and catharsis, challenging listeners to confront their own struggles and aspirations.

Uncompromising in their artistry, LUMENS is poised to take their music to new heights, with the self-titled EP marking a defining chapter in their journey. Their commitment to pushing the boundaries of progressive metalcore—both musically and thematically—positions them as a band ready to leave an indelible mark on the heavy music landscape. Whether on record or live on stage, LUMENS delivers an unforgettable, emotionally charged experience that resonates long after the final note
