Azumuth: “An epic powerhouse of rock and melody”

Melodic, epic hard rock with a slightly gothic tinge, Azumuth was started in 2007 by singer/songwriter Aidan Dickens. Having no luck finding the right band members, Aidan decided to go it alone. He single-handedly performed, recorded and produced Azumuth’s self-titled debut, with help on drums from close friend Turin Howell.

After the album was finished, Aidan enlisted the members he needed and Azumuth took to the stage. Azumuth now consists of Aidan on Vocals and guitar, Nathan on guitars, Adam ..s, adverse e fex on Bass, and Jessie on drums.

Azumuth’s sound is very distinctive, with a huge guitar and keyboard sound over a driving rhythm section - all with Aidan’s unique vocals soaring over the top. The songs themselves are about the yin and yang of life: the darkness and the light; falling into shadow and emerging on the other side to let your spirit soar.

Here’s a review of Azumuth's self titled debut by Radioindy:

“Azumuth” by Azumuth (Hard Rock/Metal/Punk Artist from Australia)

"Azumuth" is the self-titled full-length debut from Australian hard rock/alt-metal band Azumuth. Azumuth is the brainchild of singer/songwriter Aidan Dickens, whose soaring vocals and vocal diversity fuel the entire album and well-complement the heavy backing arrangements. The great guitar and drum work and varying methods of creating ambience combined with Dickens' diverse and all-out vocals sounds like a combination of Thursday, Thrice, System of a Down, and Faith No More. Dickens' lyrics are intelligent and meaningful, the songs melodic, and the choruses extremely catchy and memorable, since Dickens never fails to let it all out on the choruses. "Azumuth" is well-produced, sounds polished, and is ready for alternative radio play. "Ends of the Earth" is a mood-setting track with a nice arrangement, great lyrics, and group vocals with an overall sound similar to Thursday. "Disarray" is a great System of a Down-esque track with heavy drums, heavier distortion, and quick lyrical delivery from Dickens. "Azumuth" is a great full-length debut from Aidan Dickens and Azumuth and is as worthy of breaking through to the mainstream as the groups that clearly influenced them. Fans of hard rock and alt-metal should definitely pick this one up. -Chris & the RadioIndy.com Review Team

Check out Radioindy’s review of the Degenerator EP: "Degenerator - EP" by Azumuth (Hard Rock/Metal/Punk Artist from Victoria, Australia)

The "Degenerator - EP" by Azumuth is an excellent hard rock album which features multiple creative takes on their song "Degenerator." This compilation is recommended for fans of Faith No More, Evanescence, and early System of a Down. Azumuth's powerful hard rock vocals are belted out to the heavens on this album. "Degenerator (Voodoo Doll Mix)" is an interesting electronic/techno remix of the single which is similar to some of the heavier tracks by New World Order, Chemical Brothers, and at times even a little like Linkin Park. The EP is an interesting experiment in production and its effect on the overall sound, mood and genre of a song. Furthermore, the EP shows that a well-written song, with a nice build to a powerful and memorable chorus, can work well in many different subgenres. Be sure to check this one out if you are a fan of hard rock songs with a catchy chorus. -Heidi & the RadioIndy.com Review Team
