Often imitated but never duplicated, EVERY TIME I DIE continue to be the boldest, most unique band in the metalcore scene. 

EVERY TIME I DIE have just unleashed their brand new album titled ‘Ex Lives’ which is the band’s highly anticipated follow up to 2009’s raging masterwork ‘New Junk Aesthetic’.” Bigger, badder, and louder than ever, Ex Lives will go down as the definitive Every Time I Die record. The Buffalonian quintet didn’t just set the bar for all remaining metalcore releases, rather they tore it apart, drowned it in whiskey and gasoline, and burnt that motherfucker to the ground.”– Absolute Punk

EVERY TIME I DIE will be bringing their phenomenal live show to Australia this October.

BARDO POND: AUSTRALIAN TOUR AUGUST 2013

For over 20 years Philadelphian space rock ensemble Bardo Pond have been creating mind expanding acid glazed psychedelic rock, without a hint of irony or an ounce of compromise.

It’s commonly known that Bardo Pond are the real deal and their 20 + year legacy and recorded output are proof of that.

Since their inception in 1991, Bardo Pond have recorded 8 full length studio albums, and countless EP’s, for the likes of Matador, All Tomorrows Parties, Drunken Fish, and Fire Records.

They’re inspired a whole generation of avant-rock and psych out noise bands, they’ve played every note worthy Festival you can think of, they’ve played along side all your favourite bands, and through all this, they’ve remained completely faithful to their original vision as an outer limits independent band, never navigating away from where the started.

With their sound likened to that of Pink Floyd, The Velvet Underground, Sonic Youth, Spacemen 3, and My Bloody Valentine, Bardo Pond following in a similar tradition and create an all-encompassing wall of textured noise and lush soundscapes.

With their ONLY Australian performances being in 2010 as part of the Lou Reed & Laurie Anderson curated Vivid Festival in Sydney, Bardo Pond will finally follow up these Sydney shows with a national headline National tour this August.

Over the past year the world’s metal community united with a solitary focus… Free Randy!

Australian metal fans now get their chance to unite to celebrate the triumphant return of LAMB OF GOD.

There are metal bands and then there is LAMB OF GOD. Hitting with the force of an invading apocalyptic army, LAMB OF GOD are back to inject Australia with a crippling dose of pure metal. Their seventh album ‘Resolution’ had Metal Hammer in awe…”Lamb Of God have delivered the album of their career…fucking amazing record!” As if we'd expect anything less from this Virginia wrecking crew.

Nothing feels safe when you're listening to MESHUGGAH.

MESHUGGAH’s dense, polyrhythmic roar elevates tech-metal artisanship to such insane heights; they often build new ceilings just to smash through them. They have forged their own path and are one of those rare bands you just have to hear to believe. This is nowhere more evident than on their latest album Koloss which had Metal Assault exclaiming that “this is an audacious effort destined for greatness”

As powerful, as hungry, and as extreme as ever, LAMB OF GOD and MESHUGGAH will be a show talked about for decades to come.

No need to remind you twice about this one! Tickets go on sale Friday 14 June at 9am local.
