News : Subtract announce July Australian release

By on June 16, 2009

New Zealand metal band Subtract and Australian based Katzenjammer Records have set an July Australian release of the Kiwi band’s new record titled ‘Winning Hearts and Minds’. Currently available worldwide on iTunes, the new album marks the band’s first physical international release.

Formed during the mid 1990’s, Subtract become one of the premier acts in New Zealand metal and true forefathers of the local heavy scene. Combining elements of metal old and new, with a penchant for punishing grooves and pummelling rhythms with charismatically aggressive vocals and passionate, meaningful lyricism, Subtract are an act that have gone from strength to strength throughout their years; never relinquishing an iota of the intensity and sheer heaviness that have become their sonic trademarks.

The band has opened for such acts as Slayer, Ozzy Osbourne, Fear Factory, Helmet, Lamb of God, Children of Bodom and Opeth, as well as touring extensively throughout New Zealand.

Their new release, ‘Winning Hearts and Minds’ will represent the bands strongest and most aspirational material to date, and is set for release on New Years Day 2009, along with a nationwide tour to promote the new offering, and a planned tour of Australia during the same year.
