WAITING FOR THE JUDAS BELT

HEIFER's FIRST SINGLE (2000)
mp3.com.au/Heifer
Influences
Helmet, Frank Zappa, System of a Down, Tool, Metallica, Mark of Cain, Dead Kennedys, Slipknot, Ministry, Suicidal Tendencies, ...
Hailing from Sydney, Australia, Heifer's new album, titled "The Judas Belt", is now available in Australia, Belgium, The Netherlands, Luxembourg, France, Germany, Austria and Switzerland.
They made a brief visit to Europe in 2006 and, after only two weeks and four shows, managed to attract a small but enthusiastic following with some intense, legendary live shows. It was obvious to all who saw them why they had built a cult following in their home country.
As a result of the 2006 tour, the band attracted label interest in Europe which led to the album being released there in July 2007. They have just returned from another very successful tour (June and July 2007) in support of the album release.
HEIFER have been described as an alternative/metal band, but there’s so much more to them than that. Whilst they cite influences such as Helmet, AC/DC and System of a Down among many others, what they actually produce on “The Judas Belt” is a style all their own - heavy guitars with virtuosic drums and rasping vocals, interspersed with moments of melodic instrumental and vocal lines, and some odd time signatures. As acknowledged by Australian heavy music website “Faster Louder”:
“To their credit, their sound is nothing like the predictable retro-rock you'll hear 'representing' Australia overseas or on the country's 'pop' radios - HEIFER are an original band with a punch to pack and something real to say, as shown by ‘The Judas Belt’, their first full-length album.” – www.fasterlouder.com.au
This album feels like a punch in the face both musically and lyrically – an alt/metal aural assault, with lyrics inspired by current world events, as well as some dark auto-biographical accounts. Heifer writes songs about things that are important – both on a personal level to themselves, and on a global scale. They rally against injustice, apathy, political manipulation, and the lurking evil forces of cynicism and conservatism with sound, fury, originality, and righteous indignation. A breath of fresh air in a world largely devoid, it seems, of meaningful and truly honest, passionate music.

Hello to all, Just thought we'd stop by and say thank you ,to all the awesome bands that have sent in their material which has been aired on the show throughout the years.
We have had an exceptional response through myspace from some of the most talented underground musicians in the world . It is your contribution to our show that show people that there are still actually real musicians out there [and rap is surely not damn music, neither is that techno crap].
Undergroundsounds airs throughout Australia Thursday/Saturdays p.m.
Bands that would like their music aired on any future shows can forward their material to the address below;
Undergroundsounds Program Manager 44 Bambil St, Crestmead,Queensland. Australia.
Hey there! Hope things are going great with your music. If your band is interested in sponsorships and endorsements, check out my website. Best of luck to you!
