Intro

Hivemind is a Brisbane-based alternative rock outfit formed in 2015, characterized by a sound that bridges the gap between traditional hard rock and technical progressive metal. The band, consisting of Nick Spadotto, Michael Graham, Blake Lonie, and Sam Graham, emerged during a fertile period for Australian heavy music, distinguishing themselves through a focus on rhythmic intricacy and high-production values.

Their early releases, 'Pyramid' and 'Two Headed', showcase a penchant for staccato riffing and complex drum patterns that suggest influences ranging from the math-rock precision of bands like Foals to the metallic weight of Karnivool. Critical consensus identifies them as a bridge between the 'Brisbane sound' of melodic indie and a more aggressive, technical underground scene. While they share a name with several other global entities, the Australian Hivemind is defined by their specific blend of anthemic choruses and jagged, syncopated instrumental sections, positioning them as a key player in the modern Australian alternative circuit.
