Unleashing The Beast With DAVE LUPTON From FLAMING WREKAGE

Interview by Kris Peters
For the last decade and a half the name Flaming Wrekage has been
synonymous with hard, thrashy and brutal Australian music.
Since forming in Sydney in 2009 the band have raised the bar for
touring and commitment in this country, constantly throwing
themselves at the mercy of the metal Gods in countless trips around
this country and beyond.
Not content to live on past glory, Flaming Wrekage are about to
unleash their hardest-hitting record to date in the form of Terra
Inferna on April 26.
Showcasing a more experimental side of the band that can only be
borne from self-confidence and belief, Terra Inferna looks set to
elevate Flaming Wrekage even further, with vocalist/guitarist Dave
Lupton joining HEAVY to talk about the album.
"It's all systems go at the moment," he began. "I just picked up
some merch from the printers this morning, so we'll be going out
with the pre-orders pretty soon. It's been really good. It's an
intense process, but super rewarding, much like the recording of
the album, I would say. We really jammed everything we could into
the time that we had and I think we've got something really special
with this one. We've had a couple of singles out already, so
hopefully everyone's digging it, but I'm really looking forward to
getting the whole thing out. It's going to be a cathartic
experience to get the whole album out on the world."
In the full interview, Dave spoke more about the upcoming album
release, Terra Inferno, and the band's experimental approach to
songwriting, including the use of synths, slide guitar, and
percussion. He also reflected on the band's evolution and shift
towards a more diverse and cohesive sound. Lupton shared insights
into the band's decision to use vintage equipment for recording,
emphasizing the desire to create a big, impactful sound reminiscent
of classic metal albums.
The conversation also touched on the band's upcoming exclusive
album launch shows in Melbourne and Sydney, where Lupton shared
insights into the band's approach to preparing the set list and
announced a competition for fans to win a bar tab and early merch
access. Additionally, Lupton explained the intentional decision
behind the band's name without the letter "C," which has become a
recognizable feature of their logo.
