Hidden Gems & Guilty Pleasures: Küntsquäd (Australia)

Küntsquäd (Death Metal // Crust // Punk, Australia)

Hailing from the city of Melbourne in Australia, Küntsquäd are a 4 piece crustmetal/deathpunk band spearheaded by frontwoman Paula Condell who also wields a guitar and rounded out by Steve Esler on guitar, Brett Eldridge on bass, and Adam Holmes behind the kit. The band takes inspiration from such acts as Sepultura, Discharge, Damaged, and Carcass while incorporating death/black/doom metal and crusty punk influences, blending it all in a concoction of pure, unadulterated in-your-face music.
