[edit] History
Samsara mix the old with the new, with members from bands such as Day of Contempt and Within Blood, and front man Baina from Her Nightmare. They released their 4 track, 11 minute demo with Trial & Error Records, in 2006, which was described as explosive, energetic and intense[2].
The band then released their first full length album, "The Emptiness", in 2007, which Blunt Magazine gave 9/10[3], and stated that the album was "raw and savage", and Bainas vocals as "heavy and tortured".
Samsara have toured with huge international names such as as Hatebreed, Madball, Comeback Kid and Bleeding Through, as well as Australian bands such as 50 Lions & Miles Away. The band is currently touring Australia with other hardcore acts such as Mindsnare, Against, Tenth Dan and Bad Blood.
