Two of Australia’s heaviest underground forces are about to collide, with Astrodeath and Flaming Wrekage announcing a co-headline tour set to tear through the east coast this July.
It’s a tight, no frills run built for sweaty rooms and blown out speakers, exactly where both bands do their best work.

Astrodeath have spent the last few years carving out a reputation as one of the country’s most punishing stoner doom acts, thick, fuzzed out riffs, slow burning grooves, and a live presence that feels more like a wall than a performance, they don’t rush it, they crush it.
On the other side, Flaming Wrekage bring the opposite kind of violence, fast, sharp, and relentless. Their take on thrash leans hard into precision without losing that raw edge, and it’s earned them a spot at the front of Australia’s current wave of aggressive metal.
A clash that actually makes sense
Pairing these two isn’t just about volume, it’s contrast done right, Astrodeath drag you under with weight and atmosphere, Flaming Wrekage hit like a blunt force sprint, different approaches, same outcome. Total impact.
This isn’t a polished theatre run, it’s pubs, community spaces, and rooms that still smell like last night’s beer, both bands have built their followings in these environments, where there’s no barrier between stage and crowd, you feel every note, whether you want to or not.
For fans tapped into Australia’s heavier end, this one’s hard to ignore. Live, that push and pull should land hard. One band stretches time, the other snaps it in half, if the sequencing’s right, this could feel less like a lineup and more like a full body whiplash.
