The Eye Of The Storm With AGE OF EMERGENCE

Interview by Kris Peters
Newcastle progressive rock outfit Age Of Emergence are currently
about halfway through a run of shows around Australia in support of
their new EP The All Seeing Eye Part 1.
In a world where the core genres are starting to become more
popular by the week, it is refreshing to see a band staying true to
their core, unafraid of defying conventions by peddling their brand
of rock.
Age Of Emergence have been plying their trade since forming in
Newcastle back in 2013, releasing their first EP Plea For A Dying
World four years later before following that up with The War Within
Ourselves in 2020. Then, as happened the world over, the pandemic
struck and halted the momentum AGE had been steadily building, but
rather than succumb to the general bleakness engulfing the world,
the band decided to turn their feelings into music with the result
being The All Seeing Eye.
The EP also sees AGE welcome in new drummer Adam Clayton, with Adam
joining vocals/bass Dean Holmes and guitarist Matt Neilson for a
chat with HEAVY earlier today, starting with the early response to
the new EP.
"No one has said anything so far," Holmes laughed. "So, so far it's
been pretty positive. I guess most people seem to think it's better
or just as good as the stuff we've done previously."
"People like the video clip we've done as well," Clayton added.
"It's good to know that the effort is being appreciated."
"The sound is an improvement from what we were chasing," Neilson
chimed in.
"We used more of the current modern recording methods with this,"
Holmes continued. "All the plug-ins and things like that and I can
see why bands are using it now.
