Naarm/Melbourne-based metal quintet Future Static have released their highly anticipated debut album Liminality.
Produced, mixed and mastered by Christopher Vernon (Windwaker, The Beautiful Monument). The artwork was helmed by guitarist Jack Smith, with Liminality portraying the space between materialising and deteriorating in serene nothingness.
Liminality is an innate fusion of metalcore, progressive metal, alternative rock, and pop sensibilities, exemplified by infectious hooks against their explosive sound.
The record highlights the group's breathtaking lead vocal tandem, with bassist Kira Neil showcasing her vocal talents and magical chemistry alongside the electrifying Melbourne-born, Barcelona raised front-woman Amariah Cook.
Cook talks about the inspiration behind Liminality:
"We're so proud to finally release our first full-length album, which we've been tirelessly working on and teasing to crowds for the past two years. Writing in lockdown allowed us to explore new ideas, technologies, and techniques in our own time and creature comforts.

The best way to describe it? It is the physical representation of friendship, teamwork, and our unconditional love for music."
The band have continuously released dazzling accompanying visuals for the album with longtime collaborator Colin Jeffs (Make Them Suffer, Alpha Wolf) of Ten of Swords Media filming music videos for Waves, Venenosa, Roach Queen, The Hourglass and Chemical Lobotomy.
The art video for Plated Gold, out now and featuring guest vocals from Sean Harmanis of Make Them Suffer, was directed by Nevenko Sarunic of Heartline and Deade
