Shattering all restraint, Windwaker tear at the seams of their sonic boundaries, refining and finessing their craft into something truly unique. Concocting an unsuspecting recipe of electro-charged violence, sickly sweet pop hooks, bouncing hip hop moments and slick riffage, the charismatic quintet move towards exciting new territory with each new release. Emerging out of Melbourne, Victoria, the Australia outfit— Liam Guinane [vocals] Jesse Crofts [guitar], Indey Salvestro [bass], Chris Lalic [drums, programming], and Connor Robins [synths and samples] —have grown a dedicated and passionate fanbase, amassing millions of digital streams since their inception, with over 6 million streams garnered in the US alone. Last July’s release, “SIRENS”, has been their highest performing track to date, cracking over 1.6 million Spotify streams in just a few months —and counting! The band toured the single across Australia with Caskets (UK) and sold out nearly every date along the way. Windwaker’s debut album ‘Love Language’ released in 2022 via Fearless Records, demonstrating an unpredictable and undeniable exploration of love across 12 tracks. The album picked up praise from NME, Distorted Sound, Hysteria Magazine, New Noise and more, with mxdwn reviewing, “The effort put into this album makes it clear that the band put their best foot forward, and in turn, they left their audience wanting more”, and Sonic Perspectives raving, “There’s a huge party happening over here, and I promise that you’ll be kicking yourself hard if you miss out”. Windwaker translate their electric and eclectic energy on record to the live stage, carving their name into the core of modern metal. The four-piece have toured alongside some of alternative music’s most favored acts— Beartooth, I Prevail, Motionless In White, Enter Shikari (UK), Caskets (UK), Creeper (UK), Northlane (AUS) and more. Heartfelt confession, organic collaboration and aggressive catharsis bubble up towards the surface as Windwaker’s next release takes shape. The new year welcomes Windwaker with open arms as they gear up to play Knotfest Australia alongside Pantera, Lamb of God, Disturbed, SPEED and more
