KALATONE are a four-piece progressive rock/metal outfit from South-East Queensland, built on a foundation of heavy riffs, driving drums, and soaring vocals. With a sound that moves from atmospheric soundscapes to thunderous riffs and raw sonic intensity, their debut EP Pathways—due September 26th, 2025—is a bold, unfiltered introduction. In an age of polished perfection, KALATONE lean into the human element. No shortcuts. No filters. Just real musicians capturing raw emotion in real time. Fronted by powerhouse vocalist Tim Pitchford—a session legend with echoes of Chris Cornell—the band also features Gavin Storkey (Under – NZ) unleashing a wall of guitar through his three-headed amp rig, Adrian Russo blending melody and weight on bass, and Dave Kemp driving the pulse with relentless rhythm. Rooted in the 90s and shaped by years of live shows, sweat, and sound, KALATONE arrive with Pathways: a statement of identity, intent, and intensity. All roads lead to this. |  |
