  • Sex Mask Introduce New EP ‘Raid’

    Melbourne’s Sex Mask are gearing up for a sonic assault, announcing plans for their new EP, Raid. For those who adore intensely physical, musically charged rock, this Australian outfit delivers an experience that is as visceral as it is captivating.

    Their previous work has cemented them as a vital live force. They previously closed out 2025 with their acclaimed EP, Body Broker—a searing collection of songs defined by a thrillingly caustic, charred black post-punk sound.

    Sex Mask’s music is known for its intense physicality, pushing boundaries with every note. They have cultivated a reputation as a band that doesn’t just play music; they deliver an experience that feels intensely immediate and raw.

    Now, they are ready to unleash the next wave of sound with Raid, promising yet another dive into the darkly compelling world of post-punk. Fans can expect a continuation of that signature intensity, delivered fresh and explosive.

    The anticipation is only growing as the band prepares for their next major move. Sex Mask will be returning to the United Kingdom this September.

    Get ready, UK—the breakneck live performances are about to begin!
