Evolution Through Revolution With MIKEY ARTHUR From THE GLOOM IN THE CORNER

Evolution Through Revolution With MIKEY ARTHUR From THE GLOOM IN THE CORNER

Author: HEAVY Magazine February 19, 2026 Duration: 14:31
A whole new world of inventive, insidious and infectious metalcore awaits in 2026, with Melbourne's The Gloom In The Corner -- Mikey Arthur (vocals), Jesse Abdurazak (guitar), Paul Musolino (bass) and Joshua Clinch (drums) -- on the cusp of releasing their third full-length album Royal Discordance, due out on Friday 27 February via SharpTone Records.
A record that could readily soundtrack an Anime epic, a Netflix smash series, or a sprawling open-world game, Royal Discordance is certainly not your average metalcore album. An action-packed opus hell-bent on sharp narratives and astonishing sonic dexterity, Royal Discordance journeys between an all-out onslaught (previous single Assassination Run) through to cinematic-yet-sinister brutality on Nope (Hollow Point Elysium), grinning chaotic frenzy on You Didn't Like Me Then (You Won't Like Me Now), and a double closing sucker punch via the two-track suite Love 1: A Quaver Through the Pale and Love 2: A Walk Amongst The Poppy Fields.
HEAVY caught up with Mikey Arthur to find out more.
