Building on the foundation laid by Part 1, the new EP delves deeper into themes of inner struggle, manipulation, awakening, and the search for truth in a fractured world. Across its three tracks, “Voice of the Lost,” “Mountains Greed,” and “Twilight Zone”, Age of Emergence blend crushing riffs, atmospheric textures, and dynamic arrangements to deliver one of their most focused and intense works to date.
Age of Emergence are:
Dean Holmes - Bass & Vocals
Matt Neilson - Guitar & Vocals
Adam Clayton - Drums

Age of Emergence marked their 10th anniversary in 2025, a decade after first hitting the stage in Maitland, NSW. Formed in 2013 in the Hunter Valley by Dean Holmes, Allan Hofer (RIP), and Matt Neilson, the band has evolved through lineup changes and relentless dedication to their craft. After early local gigs and the release of their debut EP Plea for a Dying World in 2017, they followed up with The War Within Ourselves in 2020 — just as the pandemic hit. Their long-delayed first tour finally took place in 2022, earning strong reviews across NSW and the ACT.
Following the addition of drummer Adam Clayton, 2024’s The All Seeing Eye: Part 1 became their most ambitious release yet, with a national tour including first-time stops in Brisbane, Melbourne, and regional centres. In January 2025, they landed their first international support slot with European heavyweights Enforcer, and continued their momentum with a powerful performance at Metal United Down Under in Dubbo.
