Band information

Since forming in 2007 from the ashes of other metal bands Isolar and Leechseed, House of Thumbs has become a fixture of the Melbourne metal scene.

The band combines death and thrash metal techniques and vocals with the polyrhythmic patterns and discordant melodies associated with technical death metal, math metal and experimental metal. 2008 saw House of Thumbs release its debut EP, "Strangle Fiction" to some acclaimand toured throughout regional Victoria. It was on these shows that House of Thumbs developed a reputation for unusual merchandise, unveiling a line of plaster thumb ornaments called the "anti-dice" (and also, the "thumbchuckers").

2009 will see the release of the group's first full-length album Crossing the Rubicon, with a national tour planned.
