“This album showcases a band in absolute command of its craft and its direction. It also displays a band that forms a strong part of the future of progressive rock and metal music, nationally and globally. Devotees of the style need to jump on this. NOW.” – Wall Of Sound, 9/10
“…Reliqa are soon to become a big name in the world of music with the release of their debut album Secrets Of The Future, a daring step into the future of the band.” – Metal-Roos, 4.5/5
“The universe that is Reliqa is a wild ride of sonics…They’ve harnessed that energy, contained it within twelve songs that bursts at the seams like a powered atom bomb. For a band that prides itself in unpredictably, ironically it’s arguably the most consistently brilliant album from an Australian artist this year.” – HiFi Way
“Reliqa have sized themselves up for a big year with Secrets of the Future…I hope we see and hear much more from them in the latter half of 2024 and beyond.” – Heavy Magazine
“It’s a journey that’s wide and varied that shows off a band with a growing maturity and strong sense of being. They may not have known what they were before, but Reliqa is more than sorting it out now.” – Loud Online
“Secrets of the Future is a thorough and meticulously well-crafted debut album…it’s an album that will prove a joy to revisit.” – The AU Review
“Reliqa have crafted a rich and intricate labyrinth with twists and turns that keep the listener constantly on their toes, immersing them completely every step of the way…Without a doubt, ‘Secrets of the Future’ is a contender for album of the year” – Good Call Live
In 2024, the secret is out, the future is now; and its name is Reliqa.
Following on from their 2022 EP, the endlessly innovative I Don’t Know What I Am, Sydney-based alternative luminaries Reliqa take a daring and dexterous step into a brand new chapter with the long-awaited release of their debut album Secrets of the Future, out today via Greyscale Records and Nuclear Blast Records.
A lush, diverse and sci-fi-hued collection of songs that traverse fleeting moments of the human experience, Secrets of the Future also possesses a melting pot of stylistic inspiration, with elements spanning melodic metalcore through to contemporary rap, K-Pop, J-Metal, atmospheric pop, modern progressive metal as well as more traditional rock and metal.
With Secrets of the Future, Reliqa aren’t merely gazing at what’s to come; instead, they conjure it with poise and finesse, unpacking a rich and vivid tapestry that explores political injustice on tracks like Killstar (The Cold World), finding power in femininity on Sariah, as well as oscillating spotlights on the inner push-and-pull between protest and acceptance of reality.
Facing the future to their impending new album and fresh off supporting American rock powerhouses Halestorm for their Knotfest Australia 2024 headline sideshows, Reliqa will embark on their Secrets Of The Future Tour this June, with three headline shows in Melbourne, Brisbane and Sydney alongside supports RinRin, as well as a performance supporting Caligula’s Horse in Adelaide and an appearance at Never Had So Much Fun in Gosford alongside RedHook, Tiali and many more.
Defying genre labels and harnessing their potent sonic identity in the heavy music landscape over the years, Reliqa have evolved from being “ones to watch” into an act destined for genuine greatness.
In 2024, the secret is out, future is now; and its name is Reliqa.

My nickname is “The Amnplifier”. Why? Because around here my focus is on being a conduit for providing greater outcomes that people come here for. My day to day “work” is living in the moment, and I love helping others concentrate on finding their connection to themselves through their experiences.
Why start a music environment? The truth is I love music, I love writing, and I love life. I work with musicians every day, and I feel certain that I will be until they put me in the ground. I have been managing people in businesses of some sort for over thirty five years so along the way I have developed some “wisdom” from my regular and constant “observations”.
Amnplify your experience. That is what we want you to do here, and if you want to let me know why you do, or don’t, shoot me a message on Facebook.
Hope you enjoy yourself here and find something that hits you somewhere.
