“We’re actually good at our instruments now, it only took twenty years but we are good at them finally. We’re sharp now there’s just this intensity but we still have this raw element, this realness you can’t replicate it just comes from our era, our culture …”
From Release: For over two decades now, Escape The Fate have been one of the most recognisable names in modern hard rock, building an incredible catalogue packed with stadium-wrecking hooks, ferocious riffs and the kind of jackhammer heaviness that has kept fans coming back since their breakthrough record, 2008’s This War Is Ours. Australia has always held Escape The Fate close to their hearts with the bands fanbase being one of the most loyal in the world, patiently waiting three long years for their return. That patience will be rewarded with a live show packed with fan favourites, massive singalongs and the kind of explosive energy that has defined Escape The Fate’s reputation as one of the greatest live acts of their era.
We caught up with Robert to talk about the bands return to Australia, their live show, new music, changes, metalcore in 2026, and so much more…
