Peeling Back The Layers With SOUND AFFLICTION

Peeling Back The Layers With SOUND AFFLICTION

Author: HEAVY Magazine February 14, 2026 Duration: 11:55
Brisbane rock outfit Sound Affliction are proud to release their debut album, Behind The Walls, available now via Australia's only independent rock music label XMusic.
The band comment "Behind The Walls is a cumulation of several years of hard work, writing, recording and performing songs we love. It features a diverse range of songs but sticks to the band’s core theme of hard rock with emotive lyrics.
Our songs are known for dealing with issues that many people face in modern society, such as depression, anxiety and addiction. As the title suggests we all build walls around us to protect ourselves from the outside world, but who really knows what is going on behind those walls."
XMusic's Tim McLean-Smith adds "Sound Affliction have delivered an amazing debut album full of driving riffs overlayed by melodies and incredible vocal performances. You discover more the more you listen to this album. Turn it UP! And enjoy."
Sound Affliction have shown their tremendous range via four widely diverse singles, the emotionally charged Sober, the riff frenzy of Devil In Me and the powerful songwriting of Leave The Light On and the angst filled The End. To celebrate the release of the album, they have also dropped the final single from it, Fly.
HEAVY caught up with the band to find out more.
