From brooding symphonic melodrama to roaring staccato violence, House vs. Hurricane made visceral landfall on the progressive outskirts of Melbourne's metalcore scene in 2008. They copped a flying start with a $30,000 win at that year's FATE Battle of the Bands and hit a heavy touring curve with the likes of the Devil Wears Prada, Bullet For My Valentine and the Soundwave Festival. Their US-made debut of 2010, Perspectives, was accompanied by a slow disintegration in the personnel department. It survived the departure of singer Chris Dicker to record Crooked Teeth with new guy Dan Casey in 2012, but the House announced it was blowing over early the following year.
