The Matador are a 4 piece progressive post-metal outfit from South East Queensland, Australia. They cast themselves apart from the mainstream of Australian heavy music by creating a sound that ranges from down-tempo, complex ambient arrangements to epic, driving walls of earth-crushingly dense slabs of sludge. The Matador have consciously avoided the cliché of breakdowns, blast beats and death growls that currently saturate the heavy music scene. As a live act The Matador are building a strong reputation as a force to be reckoned with, with comments such as ‘The band utilises experimental melodic sections which help create a landscape of atmosphere, and serve as progression to a later chaotic climax of sounds…’ (newnoize.blogspot.com) and ‘their sound reveals many harmonic layers buried within the post-metal exterior.
