An apocalyptic alternate reality leaves Australia under the iron fist of the despotic King Baphicho for the second time. In defiance, revolution has begun brewing with Clara Carne—a member of the “Unholy Trinity”—at the helm of the resistance. All the while, the paths of an army from Heaven, a detective, and a disgraced ruler converge at an inflection point where Gun Fu shootouts, double-crosses, and drama ensue.

This action is set to a soundtrack of inventive, insidious, and infectious metalcore by Melbourne’s own The Gloom in The Corner: Mikey Arthur [vocals], Jesse Abdurazak [guitar], Paul Musolino [bass], and Joshua Clinch [drums].

Sure, it could be fodder for an Anime epic, your new favorite NETFLIX series, or an open-world video game. However, this is the story told via The Gloom In The Corner’s fourth full-length offering, Royal Discordance.

With the album set to be released worldwide on February 27, I had the pleasure to chat with Mikey Arthur on the release, work and plans behind the album. Check out the complete coverage on the below YouTube video.
