Melbourne, Australia – June 28, 2025 – Melbourne’s ferocious heavy outfit Furious George have dropped their blistering new single, “SISYPHUS”, a relentless anthem for anyone who’s ever fought to keep their head above water while the weight of life pulls them under.
Since forming in 2014, Furious George have carved a reputation for raw intensity, emotionally charged lyrics, and a genre-crushing fusion of metalcore, hardcore, and melodic chaos. With explosive live shows and a no-bullshit approach to songwriting, the band continues to build momentum in the Australian heavy scene.
“SISYPHUS” explores the struggle of enduring the day-to-day grind while quietly battling the darkness beneath it. Vocalist Jake Mandaliti explains:
“The song is about trying to go through the daily grind and get shit done but there’s always a sense of depression and dread lingering in the background making it harder.”
Named after the mythic figure doomed to endlessly push a boulder uphill, the track is a cathartic scream for those living with that same burden—offering no easy answers, just the power of solidarity and sound.
The single is now streaming on all major platforms, including Spotify, and follows the band’s thunderous return to The Bendigo Hotel in Collingwood—one of their spiritual homes—sharing the stage with The Symbiosist, All Monsters Are Human, and Destroy Fear.
These guys completely destroy every stage they are on so make sure next time they are in your city you do not miss them!
This is gospel.
I bite crowd surfers
killer.
