THE BEAST

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

THE DREADFUL TIDES Unleash Fourth Single “House of Pain 2” Off Debut Self-Titled EP

Melbourne, Australia — Rising hard rock force The Dreadful Tides (TDT) have dropped their fourth single, “House of Pain 2” , a reimagined version of one of their earliest tracks. Pulled from their debut self-titled EP, the new single highlights the band’s growth and songwriting maturity over their five-year journey—showcasing their ability to craft world-class, arena-ready hard rock anthems.

“House of Pain 2” digs deep into the struggles of the human mind and the fight against inner demons. The track opens with a hauntingly melodic acoustic intro and softer vocals—calm before the storm—before exploding into a hard-hitting assault marked by Jimmy Black’s signature powerhouse scream and Leland Hallett’s thunderous drumming. This is The Dreadful Tides at their most dynamic, blending melody and aggression into an unforgettable sonic punch.

THE DREADFUL TIDES EP — A Track-By-Track Highlight

“Fire In The Hole” – The bone-crushing EP opener and first single. A catchy, high-energy anthem with a message about PTSD in returning soldiers.

“Black Widow” – The band’s commercial edge at its sharpest. A groove-driven hard rock banger about toxic lust and desire, packed with hooks and a blazing guitar solo.

“Animal Inside” – The primal third single, a gritty, riff-heavy rocker about passion and raw human connection.

Already turning heads, The Dreadful Tides have graced the cover of Heavy Magazine (Issue #352) and earned features in Bravewords and Onyx Music Reviews .

A Band Built for the Stage

Jimmy Black (vocals): A towering stage presence with a dark, powerful tenor and soaring upper register.

Justin Strudwick (guitars): A shredder with a style inspired by legends like Dimebag Darrell, Zakk Wylde, and Tony Iommi, yet entirely his own.

Wes Hopkins (bass): Melodic and thunderous, blending the groove of John Paul Jones with the power of Cliff Williams.

Leland Hallett (drums): A powerhouse timekeeper who brings modern dynamics to classic rock-inspired rhythms.

A Beast of Their Own

Unwilling to be pigeonholed, The Dreadful Tides combine melody, grit, and pure rock energy in a way that feels both fresh and timeless. “House of Pain 2” pushes this even further, balancing light and dark to create an emotional rollercoaster that sets them apart from the pack.
