Биография

After six years, two EPs, one single and a commanding presence in the Melbourne live music scene, 2020 sees the release of a debut album from Alt-Metal 5-piece, Figures. On Operating In Unsafe Mode, the band’s distinctive take on melodic alternative metal is familiar, but violently ramps the intensity up in a significant way. With equal parts soaring melodies, blistering riffs and rage, their Alternative rock and metal influences are all unabashedly on display with a subtle but noticeable peppering of prog to keep the more refined local gig-going connoisseurs coming back for seconds. On the release of 2017’s Chronos, Metal Hammer UK had painted Figures as: “...one of the most promising bands leading the charge, boasting a sound that's a muscular prog amalgamation of churning, drop-tuned riffs, scintillating melodies and multi-layered density...” With a live resumé featuring an LA showcase, opening for international acts Hed (p.e.) and Pop Evil, local legends Mammal, Voyager and Twelve Foot Ninja, as well as being PROGFEST regulars and headlining 2018’s AMPED Festival, the band has distinguished themselves as leaders in a new wave of heavy Aussie exports. You can experience the new sound of the Melbourne underground together with Figures on stage as the band ambitiously tours Operating In Unsafe Mode to the nation in 2021.
