House of Thumbs (NEW TRACK UP NOW)

About Me

It is said things happen there after dark..
From the ashes of two Melbourne metal bands comes a heaving mass of rotted wood and twisted steel. Built from the blueprints of tortured madmen and cloaked in the sinister shadows of its squalid surrounds, this most unhappy of homes imposes its malevolent mood over all who dare to venture near.
It is the House of Thumbs.
What horrors befoul the air inside? What shadows lurk behind its deadly doors? Much of what is known is mere hearsay, shrouded in scuttlebutt and speculation. Legend tells of a hideous abhorrence of a man shunned by the society upon which he now extracts swift retribution. His work is said to be that of busy hands, though not his own, and from his hallway hangs the detached digits of his victims.
Yet who knows if this is true? For while no-one has entered â€“ and none ever left â€“ many claim to have heard midnight moans of madness riding atop the whipping wind of the witching hour. Listen closer, they say, and you might hear the laboured lurch of a polyrhythmic chug as it grinds beneath the discordant drone of a lead guitar. Closer still and youâ€™re sure to catch the wail of the banshee as she orchestrates her very own dance of the dead.
Punctuated with a scream, a rusty blade cuts truly.
The House of Thumbs claims another.
In the distance, a baby cries..
"The band that most of the crowd had come to see (as indicted by the number of band T-shirts being worn in the crowd), House of Thumbs, took the stage to tumultuous applause... The stop / start quality of their tunes was most appealing and definitely gave the crowd what they had come to see. Supported by very solid drumming (Tom again) and strong vocal work, the jumping riffing was great to hear. All tracks in the set were very listen-able and indicative of an emerging talent in the Melbourne metal scene."
