Three years after The Necrotrophic Abyss, Australian one-man band Snorlax is back to wreak havoc. Brendan Auld’s signature style, blending death metal with an oppressive and obscure black metal vibe takes a turn towards the lands of grindcore, both musically and conceptually.
Toxic Current is the new studio album by the multi-instrumentalist from Brisbane, and it comes with two covers from Australian grind and hardcore bands, Agents Of Abhorrence and The Fevered. To those familiar with Auld’s work, particularly Snorlax, these influences have always been part of his art, but never to such a clear extent.
In Auld’s own words, Toxic Current “anatomizes the mental turmoil of existing within an economy that fuels corruption and endless war. It posits that hostility is a rational response to witnessing the slaughter of the innocent, exploring the profound cognitive friction birthed when personal goals inadvertently lubricate a killing machine beyond human comprehension. As the burden of this knowledge transcends the threshold of despair, the narrative reaches an ultimatum event horizon: the surrender of biological autonomy. In a world destined for geometric chaos, humanity succumbs to the singularity, trading flesh for machines in a desperate wager that a truly just future will prevail within the void”.
“Into The Void” is the first single from Toxic Current. Written, recorded and produced by Auld at Black Blood Audio, with amesmerizing cover painting by Rotting Reign, Snorlax new studio album will be out on CD and digital on July 10th, 2026, once again via Avantgarde Music death metal division Unorthodox Emanations.
