Canberra’s DOMESTICATED INCELS release debut EP “Domestic Terror”, steeped in meta-irony, DIY ethics, and generational decay

Domestic Terror is the debut EP by Canberra-based emo band Domesticated Incels, out April 11. Across six tracks—four songs and two spoken-word interludes—the release picks at themes of shame, neglect, nihilism, and the paradox of being both a victim and participant in societal collapse. The band frames its work as “a carving in a dead tree,” born from the attrition-heavy environment of Canberra’s youth-driven, post-COVID DIY scene. The EP operates in contradictions: desperate softness set against moments of horrifying self-awareness. The band explains, “We are not doing okay. We are laying scarred and blind. We have been forgotten.” Domestic Terror
