Why has an Aussie heavy metal band gone green? In Hearts Wake have used their passion for ecological advocacy, to push the boundaries of the music industry by recording, releasing and performing their last album, (Kaliyuga), in a radically new and sustainable way. Kaliyuga became the first carbon offset album, pressed on recycled materials to hit the top 5 in the ARIA Australian Albums Chart as it debuted at #3.

We’re joined by the band’s front man Jake Taylor, who also directed a new documentary about the band’s eco journey, Green Is The New Black, released yesterday on DocPlay and iTunes.

This is a great example of truly believing in your cause and using your art to make the world a better place.
