High Tension is an Australian sludge metal/hardcore punk band out of Melbourne, Australia. Formed in 2008, they released their self-titled debut EP in 2009, followed by their critically acclaimed full-length album, 'Death Beat', in 2010. Since then, they have toured relentlessly, sharing the stage with some of the biggest names in metal and hardcore, such as Torche, Wax Fang and Deaf Heaven. They released their second album titled Bully in 2013, which saw them expand their sound to encompass a range of styles, while maintaining their ferociously loud and aggressive sound. Following Bully, the band released the single 'Stranger' in 2014, and the critically acclaimed 'Purge' in 2016. They currently have a new single set to be released in 2021, and are expected to unveil yet another punishing blast of metallic hardcore soon.
