UNLEASHING THE EXTREME AUSTRALIAN TOUR May /June 2009 Three of Australia?s highest calibre metal bands on one devastating bill!
PSYCROPTIC: Fresh from the annihilating success of their latest US tours in support of Carcass and Suffocation, Pyscroptic return to Australia to headline this formidable tour. With their career continually spiralling higher and higher and with the ?Observant? album ticking over great album sales through Nuclear Blast, there is no doubt this band is carving themselves a more than credible name amongst the legion of metal fans worldwide. Psycroptic have now become a universal force.
THE AMENTA: Rather than relying on the clich?d shit in which other bands are content to wallow, The Amenta have constructed a sound built on new ideas, new concepts, new sounds and new techniques. Their latest album "n0n" is the fusion of whitenoise, shards of dissonant guitars and dense layers of radio chatter. The Amenta's new album pushes technology to its absolute limits. Fusing the ugliest parts of Extreme Metal, Electronic Noise and Dub with a ferocious and scathing world view, "n0n" is the future of extreme music.
RUINS: Hailing from Hobart, Tasmania, RUINS blend an ominous dark-death metal dynamic amidst their powerful, menacing and melancholic, yet eerily seductive black metal style; with a venomous, and summoning vocal presence. March 2008 saw a career highlight when Ruins toured nationally with Norway's Black Metal Pioneers ? IMMORTAL. Having just finished working on their next album, "Front the Final Foes" featuring 8 new songs with an expected June 2009 release, RUINS aim to prove to Australian metal fans they are the masters of home grown Black metal.
