Sydney nu-metalcore rising stars Broken Earth return with their hard-hitting new single RAINMAKER hot on the heels of their set at TerrorLoud this past weekend

RAINMAKER is the culmination of years of sonic evolution, balancing crushing heaviness with introspective nuance—featuring razor-sharp instrumentation and a powerful vocal performance from frontman Raphael Smith.

Reflecting on self-acceptance and personal transformation, RAINMAKER invites listeners to confront their past and step into the future without fear. “It’s about choosing to grow, to rise above self-doubt, and to navigate life’s challenges head-on,” shares the band. “RAINMAKER continues the narrative from our previous singles—shedding old skin and embracing who we are becoming.”

The single reunites Broken Earth with long-time collaborator Mark Williamson (Inertia, Revoid) on production and mixing duties, with mastering by none other than Kris Crummett (All Time Low, Sleeping With Sirens, Dance Gavin Dance), reinforcing the band’s refined and matured trajectory in 2025.

Comprised of Raphael Smith (vocals), Brad Stokes (bass), Benjamin Robinson (guitar), and Sebastian Weir (drums), Broken Earth formed from the remnants of earlier projects, quickly forging a reputation for emotionally driven, genre-blending music that mixes authenticity with aggression.

Building a reputation for their live energy, Broken Earth have spent the last 12 months touring nationally, including a support slot with Miss May I (US) at their Sydney Knotfest sideshow. They’ve also shared the stage with heavyweights Paledusk (JPN), No Bragging Rights (US), Caskets (UK), Windwaker, Gravemind, Diamond Construct, The Beautiful Monument and more.

With hundreds of thousands of digital streams, placements on top Spotify and Apple Music editorial playlists, and growing media acclaim, Broken Earth continues to carve their name into the scene.

RAINMAKER is available now and streaming everywhere.
