Musical Extremes With NATH & ANT From ANOTHER ROTTING CORPSE

You don't get more punk than completely bamboozling people without
trying, and for this reason alone Melbourne duo Another Rotting
Corpse (ARC) have won before even playing a note in anger.
On face value with a name like that, it would be natural to assume
ARC were, at the very least, a deathcore sounding band but one
listen to any song from their upcoming debut album Soaring Highs,
Crushing Lows and you will get a quick education as to why you
should never judge a cover by its book, or however the saying
goes.
After a five-year hiatus, ARC returned to the live scene with a
renewed fire a couple of years ago, marking their comeback with the
2023 EP, Exchange For Safe Passage. That snowballed quickly to
become their debut long player, which is set to be unleashed on the
world with devastating force this Friday, October 25.
HEAVY caught up with Nath and Ant to find out more.
"Just a two-person punk album, essentially," Ant offered when asked
what they were going for with the album musically. "I write a bunch
of songs and give them to Nath, and he puts his part in and that's
how it comes out. We didn't want to mess around with the sound too
much."
"I will say one thing," Nath added, "When Ant writes a song for a
two-piece - we were a three-piece, but the bass player has moved to
Gippsland - but writing songs for two pieces what Ant does really
well is he keeps the sound really full. There's so many
opportunities where he could do a solo or something else
interesting, but what was great about the album was it gave us the
opportunity to fill that sound out even more than what we already
do."
In the full interview, Ant and Nath talk more about Soaring Highs,
Crushing Lows, its musical direction and the high-energy songs on
it. We discuss how ARC's sound has changed from their debut EP
Exchange For Safe Passage to Soaring Highs, Crushing Lows and what
sorts of things they discussed as a band going into it. We spoke
about the album launch party at Nighthawks this weekend and what to
expect, plus more.
