Hampered by incessant line-up changes, they’ve nonetheless managed to

assert their dominance at the forefront of the local hardcore pack.

Spending the first half of 2008 intensely writing songs for their new

album "Isolation", the band took time out briefly in February to be the

only Australian band to perform on the national Soundwave ’08 tour. In

May, they converged upon Getaway Recording, a studio situated in the

basement of Jay Maas’ suburban home in Wakefield, Massachusetts, just

north of Boston. A respected hardcore producer who has pulled huge

sounds for the likes of Shipwreck A.D. and Verse, Maas proved the

perfect choice to help CARPATHIAN realise their vision for “Isolation”.

“Isolation” is a thoroughly emphatic statement that ushers in a new era

in Australian hardcore. When so many bands seem content to conform to

the status quo, CARPATHIAN have vowed to take things forward. Now with

a solid line-up featuring Martin Kirby (vocals), David Bichard (drums),

Lloyd Carroll (guitar), Josh Manitta (guitar) and Ed Redclift (bass),

and a clear-minded musical direction, they are on the front foot and

poised for true greatness.

A full Australian Tour will commence in July, where they will be touring with Break Even and The Broderick.
