About

Following the release of their latest Album,

REWAKE IN THE MOLD OF TRAVAIL, Head Lock Grave takes their blend of power, groove-driven rhythms and chaotic live energy across the island.

Embarking on a 5 show tour across the North Island, Auckland marks the final stop of their tour, ending in spectacular fashion and closing out a with bang. Featuring a line up of some of Aotearoa’s finest heavy bands, this showwill not be one to be looked past...


Featuring:

Lacquered Black - Representing the new generation of Auckland heavy music, combining grunge, sludge metal, alternative rock, and underground metal influences into the New Zealand sound.

Cry Wolf - Blending cinematic melodies,crushing riffs, and emotionally driven songwriting, the band has quickly established its identity through the singles Rainfall, Burn, Player One, and Oceans. Drawing influenc from Breaking Benjamin, Linkin Park, and Three Days Grace, CRY WOLF deliver a modern sound built on powerful hooks, dynamic contrasts, and polished production.

Static - Emerging from Kirikiriroa's underground scene in 2015, STATIC have solidified themselves as cult favourite's within the alternative community across Aotearoa. Blending dynamic and embittered vocals with volatile musicality, their songs portray stories of loss, isolation, and finding solace through connection.

Head Lock Grave - One of NZ’s most powerful rising forces - Head Lock Grave is defined by presence and precision. Their live performances are intense and grounded, driven by connection and control rather than excess. Whether in the studio or on stage, the band brings a clear sense of purpose: music that moves people, stays with them, and demands attention.
