INTENT TO HARM - Back Up!
Written by: Tom Wilson | Thursday 26th March 2026
“My bones started turning to liquid.” How a horrific back injury led to INTENT TO HARM.
“My bones started turning to liquid.” When back surgeries left him bedridden and unable to perform extreme metal vocals, Matt Turkington had a choice: give up, or pivot. That pivot was learning to play the guitar while recovering in bed, and returning to the music scene as the axeman for INTENT TO HARM, a brutal Brisbane trio specialising in hardcore-tinged death metal, who just released their crushing debut single Drained Of Life on Vicious Instinct Records!
Drained Of Life is out now on Vicious Instinct Records. Check it out here.
