Interview by Kris Peters
Arriving just after the turn of the century, Australian metal legends DAYSEND were born into a healthy national metal scene that included bands like Blood Duster, Abramelin, Frankenbok and Dreamkillers, some of which are still going strong today. It was a golden era for Australian metal, made that much better by DAYSEND, who built a formidable reputation in the global metal scene, touring extensively across Australia and internationally and sharing the stage with some of the biggest names in metal, including Slipknot, Trivium, Arch Enemy, In Flames, and Machine Head.
Their 2003 debut album, Severance, was met with widespread critical acclaim and was voted Best Australian Metal Album in a 2003 Triple J listeners’ poll. The album’s blend of melodic aggression and technical prowess cemented its status as one of the most influential Australian metal releases of the era.
DAYSEND disbanded in 2011 and have lain dormant ever since - until now.
Listed as one of the bands Necrosonic Festival has Resurrected From The Dead - alongside Massic, Beanflipper, Brace and Idle Ruin - DAYSEND have come from the abyss to revisit their debut album with a select number of shows before planning to fade back into the darkness.
But before that could happen, HEAVY caught up with Aaron Bilbija (guitar) to talk about Necrosonic and the rebirth of DAYSEND. One of the topics for discussion was the importance of festivals such as Necrosonic to the Australian metal scene.
"Hugely, hugely important," he replied without hesitation. "They're doing it… they've got the passion for it, you know what I mean? They're not doing it for the bucks. They've got the passion for it, and they love what they're doing, and it's great that they are supporting guys like us. Yeah, it's excellent."
We ask about the early stages of the band and where DAYSEND fit in initially.
"We all came from other bands at the time, just local bands in the Sydney scene," Aaron recalled. "And we used to play the hotels a lot, a bunch of all ages shows, things like that. There were loads and loads of bands, and there was gigs on pretty much every weekend. I remember going as a 16-year-old with the fake ID and trying to get into as many gigs as I could (laughs)."
In the full interview, Aaron further discussed his role as guitarist in Daysend, which is performing a select number of shows, including an upcoming appearance at Necrosonic Festival in Brisbane. He provided background on the band's formation in Sydney during the early 2000s and explained their unique musical style that set them apart from other local bands.
The conversation covered their current tour plans, including performances across multiple cities to celebrate their debut album, Severance, and why it connected with so many people. We discuss revisiting that old material and whether it still feels fresh and more.

portal Bowls or Alarum, Brian Forden led to the Woods,

Really here last year, so you don't what to expect,
but brutalless fun, wasn't it.
Speaker 1 (03:26):
Yeah. Yeah, it's hard to see everything as well because
there's so much going on and catching up with friends

Speaker 2 (03:36):
Yeah, yeah, I said four props to Can't too for
putting it on as well, Like how important are people like.
Speaker 3 (03:41):
Him and shows like this for the Ustralian music industry?
Speaker 1 (03:45):
You think, oh, hugely. Usually they're doing it. You know,
they've got the passion for it, you know what I mean.
They're not doing it for the bucks. They've got the
passion for it and they love what they're doing. And yeah,
it's great supporting guys like us. Yeah, it's excellent.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
Yes, what was the catalyst to you guys coming back
and during these shows? Was it him approaching he had
asked you to get back together for Necrosonic or did
you already plan on doing it?
Speaker 1 (04:09):
No? Not necessarily, No, not really. I guess Simon, Simon
and Michael have been talking about it for a little while.
And yeah, I had a good had a good chat
with me last year and we just kind of said, there,
let's let's have a jam. Let's give it a shot.
(04:31):
See how it feels O the shops still there? Can
we still do it? Jas and it feels good, Yeah,
let's do some shows.
Speaker 3 (04:40):
That's and they had How important was it to get
the core I said, the three core members of the
band back together to like would you reckon it would
have worked if all three of you had to come back.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
No, No, I mean we would love to have the
original five. It didn't work out. You know, they're busy
because he with their own lives at the moment, pretty
tired up. But as I said, you know, the three
of us called dudes, plus Jason was in the band before,
so he's just changed from guitar and bass. Having having
(05:16):
Matt there on drums, who you know we've known forever
and played with, gigged with when he was in switch Plade. Yeah,
it just kind of felt right. Everybody's everybody was kind
of itching to get back and do something again. So yeah,
this is it.
Speaker 2 (05:35):
I want to talk a bit about the early days
of Stages of Days and like you started around a
turn of the century. So what was a musical climate
like in Australia that gave birth to the band back
then and where did you spit in initially?
Speaker 1 (05:47):
All right, So well, we all came from other bands
at the time, just local bands in the Sydney scene,
and we used to play the hotels a lot, a
bunch of all ages shows things like that. What was
this scene like? It was pretty good in Sydney. Actually
it was pretty There was loads and loads of bands
(06:08):
and there was gigs on pretty much every weekend. You know,
I remember going as a sixteen year old with the
flake Id trying to get into as many gigs as
I could. Yeah, it was pretty good. And then you know,
we as you do. You know, you go through various bands,
(06:29):
you meet other dudes, and then that's kind of how
days end formed. You know, guys from this band and
that band that had finished starting something new, and yeah
where we went.
Speaker 3 (06:43):
Yeah cool.
Speaker 2 (06:44):
You struck a chord with your blending of the melodic
aggressiveness of the technical prowess on your debut severing right
at that time, that sort of music wasn't as prevalent
as as it is today.
Speaker 3 (06:53):
You know, you wouldn't would have been the minority back then.
So what was it? Do you think struck a chord
with people about the band and your music?
Speaker 1 (07:02):
Maybe that's exactly what you just said, really just trying
to do something a little bit different to what was
pretty normal, you know, well, which was as usual at
the time. So I just doing something a little bit different.
We're just trying to do stuff that we wanted to hear.
Really Yeah, bringing influencers from here and there, you know,
(07:25):
be more technical stuff and then the more melodic sensibilities
from other styles that we really liked as well. Just
trying to bring it together. Obviously hugely influenced by what
was going on in Sweden at the time as well.
Speaker 3 (07:43):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (07:43):
Yeah, so this is a severage tour. So does that
mean you're playing the whole album back to back.
Speaker 1 (07:50):
We won't be playing the whole album, but everything we're
playing will be from the album.
Speaker 3 (07:54):
Yeah, Sweden.
Speaker 2 (07:56):
How how did feel going back and revisit and relearned
that after twenty years? Did feel outdated or did it
feel fresh to you?
Speaker 3 (08:04):
No?
Speaker 1 (08:04):
I didn't feel outdated. Actually I was. I was surprised.
Speaker 3 (08:07):
I was. I was.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
I was a little bit concerned about that, as you
just mentioned like that, but I didn't feel like that.
It was a bit nervous going back and learning stuff
because I couldn't remember how to play all of it.
So I had to sit down and sit down and
stady it all again and relearn, relearn the riffs and
(08:28):
the solos. I transcribed a bunch of stuff, so you know,
I wouldn't forget it once I relearned it, which I
should have done in the first place. Yeah, but it
feels fresh again when my gam and it's exciting when
(08:50):
we're playing. Yeah, definitely doesn't feel old and stale. I
feel like it's just a strong how as it was
back then.
Speaker 3 (09:01):
Yeah, very cool. And have you got any other shows
booked or as Necrosonic.
Speaker 1 (09:05):
Yeah, we did have other shows book for sure. We
actually did a warm up show last weekend down here
in a tiny little bar in Sydney. We didn't do
it in the name days then. Okay, yeah, we were
the first. We were first on the bill. That was
our first warm up show.
Speaker 3 (09:22):
It was good.
Speaker 1 (09:23):
Juice is flying again. But no, we've got shows coming up.
We'll go after Brisbane. We've got Newcastle, We've got Adelaide,
We've got Sydney, we've got Canberra. Yeah, in Melbourne, of course.
Speaker 2 (09:34):
And I'm interested to know what name did you use
for your do you see them?
Speaker 1 (09:40):
It was school Ring Schooling.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
We're gonna you know, you're gonna have to do a
different one now if you ever planned on doing that again.
Sorry you mentioned before they only get together for these
runners shows. But hypothetically, is there any situation that could
happen and They could make you, guys, decide you want
to start writing material again.
Speaker 1 (10:06):
Maybe maybe, but that's not the plan. No, that's not
the plan. The plans just to do these shows and
you know, you know, revisit and celebrate the album that
we made all right all those years ago.
Speaker 3 (10:21):

On Purpose with Jay Shetty
I’m Jay Shetty host of On Purpose the worlds #1 Mental Health podcast and I’m so grateful you found us. I started this podcast 5 years ago to invite you into conversations and workshops that are designed to help make you happier, healthier and more healed. I believe that when you (yes you) feel seen, heard and understood you’re able to deal with relationship struggles, work challenges and life’s ups and downs with more ease and grace. I interview experts, celebrities, thought leaders and athletes so that we can grow our mindset, build better habits and uncover a side of them we’ve never seen before. New episodes every Monday and Friday. Your support means the world to me and I don’t take it for granted — click the follow button and leave a review to help us spread the love with On Purpose. I can’t wait for you to listen to your first or 500th episode!
