Artist Biography
Available in: gb icon
The Schoenberg Automaton (TSA) are a mouthful and an earful of mind-bending technical death metal.

With a sound that’s unmistakeable yet hard to pin down, TSA made a big impact on the Australian metal scene with a debut EP in 2011 that generated a lot of hype for the critically acclaimed release of Vela in 2013.

TSA have built a reputation as a ferocious and calculated live act, performing alongside several world-class notaries including Animals as Leaders, Between the Buried and Me, Born Of Osiris, Psycroptic, Veil of Maya, King Parrot, Ne Obliviscaris, Fleshgod Apocalypse and appearing at Australia’s iconic Soundwave festival as winners of Triple J Unearthed.

With the upcoming 2014 release of their highly anticipated sophomore album, TSA are ready to step it up a notch and compete on the world stage with a brand new set of savage and original compositions.

Quotes

"Who needs Europe when some of the most polished, articulate and carefully crafted metal now resides in our own backyard? ‘Vela’ is crushing from the get go. It almost feels like we’ve stepped back to The Red Chord’s ‘Clients’ heydays. The music is dense, the vocals deep and everything else fits accordingly... You keep expecting a letdown and it simply doesn’t come. ‘Vela’ gets progressively better and Australia has another band to parade to the internationals that have been lauded over us for so long."
(8/10) – Kill Your Stereo, 1 February 2013

"Rising Australia stars The Schoenberg Automaton eschew trends with their debut album Vela. While their myriad of influences are shown on their sleeves — the trudging stutterred riffs of Gojira, the schizophrenic chaos of early Dillinger Escape Plan, and the forward-thinking technical battery of Between the Buried and Me are all plain as day — their sound wears more like a continued step in the genre lineage rather than shameless mimicry. Make no mistake, The Schoenberg Automaton will be a force to be reckoned with out of the already impressive Australian metal scene if their first offering already hits this hard."
(4/5) – Heavy Blog is Heavy, 21 January 2013

"I could say a lot about Vela, but ultimately music this intense and different needs to be heard; explaining what they do still wouldn’t prepare you for how well thought-out, eerie, and dominating The Schoenberg Automaton are. This is the kind of adventurous genre-fusing metal that gives me hope for the future: good musicians with good ideas making phenomenal music."
(No rating given) – No Clean Singing, February 9, 2013

"TSA were like pit-bulls straight out of the gate; they wasted no time and were absolutely brutal from start to finish. Complex riffs, odd time signature changes, insane drum patterns; nothing was too difficult to execute live and the band easily became one of my favourites of the night. They create a fantastic sound and their live shows are definitely not to be missed in the future! (Live review)"
