Marquis HK is a straight-down-the-line, old-school punk who believes in keeping it real. From his “devil’s lock” and aviator sunglasses
to the military boots and crusty-punk patchwork shirt, Marquis continues to personify the movement that changed and shaped his life over the past three decades.
Now in his mid-forties, Marquis is the former front man of Brisbane hardcore punk band Anger in Motion, which recorded two EPs and a retrospective album in 2005, and toured interstate and in the UK. He has managed bands, and organised tours and clubs across the punk, thrash, grind and metal genres since the 1990s.
Known within the underground music scene as Marky Hardcore, the author goes by the name Marquis HK when representing the Church of Satan, in which he is a Warlock. In this capacity, Marquis has been interviewed on ABC radio, The Project and in the Sydney Morning Herald, plus Ante Sydney Street Press, Old Nick, and Black magazines, among others.
A keen writer, Marquis has published Satanic magazine, The Sentinel, contributed to fanzines and is currently working on an erotic comic book series. Thirty Years of Anger is his first book, which he described in the Sydney Morning Herald as “an autobiographical account of my journey through the Australian hardcore punk and underground extreme metal scenes”..
Marquis’s other passions include comics, horror movies and travel.
