THE MARK OF CAIN: The Long Game Pays Off

Interview by Ali Williams
THE MARK OF CAIN aren't a band prone to excessive activity for the sake of it. They play when there is a reason to play, record when there is something worth recording and, still prefer enough amplifiers and cables on stage to keep several roadies gainfully employed. In 2026, there happens to be a very good reason to get busy.
The Adelaide trio Josie Scott, Kim Scott and drummer Eli Green are preparing to return to the stage, beginning with Brisbane’s Zed 51 Festival at Roma Street Parkland on October 24 before heading to Melbourne, Sydney and Adelaide through November. Behind those shows sits the more significant development: THE MARK OF CAIN are well into work on their sixth studio album, with eight songs already completed and demoed, more in development and plans to finish the record early next year.
When HEAVY’s Ali Williams caught up with bassist Kim Scott, it became clear that the current burst of activity wasn’t born from some grand strategy. Zed 51 simply gave the band a reason to interrupt the writing process and get back in front of people.
“That kind of became a bit of a catalyst for us to come out live again,” Scott explains.
