MAKE THEM SUFFER will be performing at Reload for the first time in 2027—and right now, they’re among the bands setting the tone in the harder rock scene: with a blend of metalcore and deathcore, but with their own unmistakable style.

What sets these Australians apart isn’t “just” their blend of metalcore and deathcore, but how skillfully they handle it. Clean vocals, growls, and keyboards aren’t just embellishments for MAKE THEM SUFFER—they’re at the heart of their sound: Vocalist Alex Reade uses her keyboard and voice to create an atmosphere that doesn’t tone down the songs but makes them even more powerful. And when the heavy parts kick in, it doesn’t feel like a jarring break but rather a smooth transition—from expansiveness to intensity, without ever losing the thread.

It’s precisely this interplay that makes them so powerful: the intensity and the melody run parallel. The breakdowns pack a punch, the hooks are catchy, and the songs flow seamlessly—hard-hitting, yet expansive.

On top of that, the band is currently working on their next album. So Reload 2027 comes along at just the right moment: with momentum, focus, and material that pushes them forward.

Anyone who had just jotted it down on a piece of paper now has the date marked on their calendar.
