FLY! (Heavy Metal – Australia 🇦🇺) – Release “The Sinner” official video via Dying Victims Productions #fly! #heavymetal

DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present the highly anticipated debut album of Australia’s FLY!, …or Die! , on CD and vinyl LP formats.

FLY! is a fast and mean rock ‘n’ roll machine from Melbourne. Emerging from the darkest depths of the Aussie wastelands, FLY! united with a singular vision: to play fast, loud, and mean rock ‘n’ roll, harkening back to the raw power of 1970s and early ‘80s rock. Inspired by the likes of Motörhead, Judas Priest, and AC/DC, FLY! are a rough ‘n’ rowdy amalgam of their influences, and then some!

Formed in 2023, FLY! blasted onto the Australian rock scene, playing up and down the east coast and leaving a trail of destruction (and empty beer cans) in their wake. 2024 saw the release of FLY!’s dangerous debut demo with a string of blistering national performances to follow, seeing FLY! share the stage with the likes of the Cosmic Psychos, Cancer Bats, and heavy metal brethren (and now label mates) AARDVARK, among many others.

With two songs reprised from that demo, the quartet now present their first full-length, …or Die! Wasting not a whole minute as they ride “Into the Wasteland”, these road warriors take flight across the 11-track / 39-minute album: a no-holds-barred love letter to speed, desert highways, murderous marauders and relentless riffs. Lean, mean and unclean, their high-speed, raw-power rock ‘n’ roll kicks out the jams with judicious efficiency. There’s no overthinking these desert-wasteland anthems; you simply hop on and go, go, go! FLY!’s vicious, high-speed rock explores themes such as weapons, beer, homicidal maniacs, and the power of acceleration! And while not overtly retro-oriented, there’s an authentically late ‘70s feel to …or Die!, from the just-distorted-enough guitar tones, the crash ‘n’ bash rhythms, and especially the songwriting itself: juiced up like Bomber, strutting like Stained Class, sleazy like Powerage. Add in a touch of mid ‘70s Thin Lizzy and a punk-and-proud attitude like Zeke – or hell, even spiritual cues to their homeland’s rich tradition of garage rock – and you’re left with no choice: FLY! …or Die!
