Blades

Blades Of Hades or simply Blades since 2006, are an Australian hip hop group based in Newcastle. Since forming in the late 1990s they have released three albums, "Blades Of Hades" (2003), "This Installment" (2006), and "Shadow Art" (2008). The group took its name from Greek mythology, where Hades was the Gatekeeper of the Underworld. Known for their hardcore style, politically conscious lyrics and dark beats, Blades have developed a strong following overseas, having performed at many festivals in Europe, including Germany's Mass Hysteria in Hamburg. In 2008, they were the first independent Australian hip hop act to perform at the Glastonbury Festival in the United Kingdom.

Abbie Cornish, who used to be involved with Blades' Kid Lyrical, has been involved with the group since mid-2000s. She is known to drop in and contribute to Blades under the names MC Dusk. Check out the album "Shadow Art", on which Abbie's vocals are prominently featured. In January 2010, Abbie appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live! and spoke of her continued involvement with Blades. It is unknown at this stage whether or not she will appear in the upcoming Blades album - but we'll keep you posted.
