Harlott

Harlott operates as a straightforward thrash quartet from Melbourne, Australia, pulling influence from veteran high-volume acts including Slayer, Testament, Megadeth, and Anthrax. The lineup came together in 2006 around longtime associates Andrew Hudson on guitar and vocals, Ryan Butler on lead guitar, Tomas Richards on bass, and Tim Joyce on drums. Their first album, Origin, appeared in 2013 and prompted a countrywide run of shows that featured support appearances with Accept and Megadeth’s Dave Ellefson. A subsequent agreement with Metal Blade paved the way for the 2015 release of their second studio album, Proliferation, which was followed by a European run alongside Canadian thrash veterans Annihilator.
