Closing The Chapter With NICK MUSGRAVE From SIENNA SKIES

Rising Australian metal outfit Sienna Skies continue to cement themselves as pioneers of Australia’s heavy and alt music scenes, thanks in part to the inking of a new record deal, support slots with some of the world’s largest rock and metalcore acts and a sold-out headline tour in early 2024 that saw the group ignite impassioned fans across the East Coast.
Throw in a recent supporting run with Of Mice & Men and you would understandably cut the group some slack if they wanted to see 2024 out in the comfort of their homes.
But that's not Sienna Skies style. Instead, the band have released a new single, The Hardest Part, and decided to invite US outfit Of Virtue and Sydney rockers Clay J Gladstone to join them on an eight-date trek across Australia to start the year as they started.
On fire.
HEAVY caught up with guitarist Nick Musgrave to get the details, starting with reception afforded The Hardest Part.
"As far as I can tell, pretty good," he smiled. "I don't regularly look into the business of reading through every single comment (laughs). It just pops up here and here, which is kind of nice. Nothing too overly negative, so I guess in some cases no news is good news."
In the full interview we discussed the film clip for The Hardest Part, the upcoming tour and what to expect, why Sienna Skies chose Of Virtue and Clay J Gladstone as touring partners, closing out the last EP cycle, new music in the works, the bonus of having eclectic live line-ups, what three songs to listen to in order to get to know Sienna Skies better and more.
