Feed Her to the Sharks

Feed Her to the Sharks was a pivotal figure in the second wave of Australian metalcore, emerging from Melbourne in 2008. Their sound is characterized by a fusion of melodic death metal guitar work, reminiscent of the Gothenburg scene, and the rhythmic, breakdown-heavy structure of American metalcore.

Throughout their career, they evolved from the raw energy of 'The Beauty of Falling' to the highly produced, Victory Records-backed 'Fortitude'. They are often cited alongside peers like I Killed the Prom Queen and Parkway Drive for defining the 'Aussie metalcore' sound: high production values, technical proficiency, and a focus on anthemic choruses. Critically, they were praised for their ability to maintain a high tempo without sacrificing clarity. Their disbandment in 2019 marked the end of an era for a specific style of hyper-polished, melodic aggression that influenced a generation of bedroom producers and touring bands in the heavy music circuit.
