New Project

New Project is an Australian industrial metal outfit formed in Sydney in 2000, later relocating to London to capitalize on the European metal market. Their sound identity is a bridge between the nu-metal explosion of the late 90s and the more refined, electronic-heavy industrial metal of the mid-2000s.

They are characterized by a high-production sheen, largely thanks to collaborations with notable producers like Dan Turner, which aligned them with the sonic standards of major labels like Roadrunner or Nuclear Blast during their active years. Their cultural footprint is most notably marked by their inclusion in the Hungarian release of 'Ghost in the Shell', cementing their association with cyberpunk and anime subcultures. Critically, they were recognized as a rising force in the UK unsigned scene, earning accolades from Metal Hammer. Their influence web connects the rhythmic aggression of Pitchshifter and the theatrical weight of Cradle of Filth, resulting in a sound that is both club-ready and mosh-pit friendly. For collectors, their early EPs and the 'Ultraviolent Light' album represent a specific era of the 'global' industrial metal sound that flourished before the genre's shift toward djent and modern metalcore.
