Interview by Angela Croudace
Los Angeles duo sace6 are carving out a striking space in modern heavy music, blending R&B melodies with emotionally charged metal textures. In conversation with HEAVY, Sace and Noah reveal the deeply personal roots behind their name, with 6 honouring Sace’s father as a baseball player and serving as a symbol of inspiration.
Their latest project, Brutalist, reflects both sonic intensity and immersive world-building, pairing pop-forward vocals with what the band describes as “brutal” emotional weight. The duo emphasised a unique creative process built on trust, often working separately to fully realise ideas before combining them into something cohesive. That authenticity has helped shape a sound that feels both unpredictable and intentional, with tracks like Ego marking defining moments in their evolution.
Celebrating a decade of darkness, nothing, nowhere. returns to Australia this month, bringing The Return Of The Reaper tour with special guests sace6 and Closure. The run begins April 16 in Brisbane before hitting Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide and concluding in Perth on April 23.
For sace6, the tour marks a major milestone and their first chance to connect with Australian audiences face-to-face for the first time ever. Check out the full interview above.
