2016 sees Statues move on with a new vocalist (Alex Shom) and drummer (Matt Unkovich), and ready to write and release new music.
The first offering from the chaotic hardcore act,Dogswamp, is an unrelenting and technically advanced piece of aural brutality, with riffs oozing from everywhere. If you like your music tormented and tumultuous then this band is for you. It also comes with a killer music video.

Guitarist Scott Kay Told Metal Hammer:

"We're excited to release our first offering for 2016, and our first song with our new members, Alex and Matt. It's aggressive as always, but we wanted to experiment with a more conventional song structure. We hope you dig it.

The video was directed by Drew Kendell and the song was mixed by Matthew Templeman and mastered by Simon Struthers. We're also proud to say all production elements were kept within our home city of Perth."

The MonolithSaid Of The New Single:

"As the new guys, vocalist Alex and drummer Matthew have the spotlight on them, but prove excellent foils for the remaining band members. Scott and John's pacey, hyper-aggressive riffs hit right from the off, and almost shine with menace. Matthew's drumming is brisk and bright, whilst Matthew Templeman's bass adds a pleasing twang to the mix in making itself heard. Alex continues where Jim left off, practically screaming down the mic ' a fantastic replacement by all accounts.

It's a breathless four minutes, but four minutes well spent, and bodes well for whatever comes next from these chaps."
