Fresh from winning the Auckland Battle of the Bands and securing 3rd place at the National Final, Auckland deathcore/hardcore rising stars OVERTHROWN are set to unleash their biggest headline show yet with Welcome to Purgatory at The Whammy Bar.
Rapidly emerging as one of New Zealand's most promising deathcore/hardcore acts, OVERTHROWN have built a reputation for explosive live performances, technical musicianship, and relentless intensity. Their unique blend of original deathcore and hardcore has earned them a loyal and growing following, with audiences drawn to the band's raw energy, precision, and uncompromising sound.
Following their Battle of the Bands success and increasing national recognition, Welcome to Purgatory marks the next chapter in OVERTHROWN's rise, as they continue to establish themselves among the country's leading deathcore/hardcore music acts.
Known for delivering an immersive live experience that combines precision, power, energy, and raw aggression, OVERTHROWN continue to push boundaries both on stage and in the studio. With new music on the horizon and momentum continuing to build, this headline performance at The Whammy Bar promises to be their most ambitious and unforgettable show to date.
Supporting OVERTHROWN on the night are Auckland indie rock/hard rock band - The Easy Brothers, bringing their own high-energy live show, infectious hooks, and driving rock sound. The contrast between The Easy Brothers' melodic intensity and OVERTHROWN's crushing heaviness promises a diverse and memorable night of live music.
Whether you're already a supporter or discovering OVERTHROWN for the first time, Welcome to Purgatory is set to be a powerful celebration of the next generation of New Zealand extreme music.
