News : Emmure announce first headlining Aus tour

By on November 15, 2010

After a series of shows across Europe, the US and Japan in late 2010, one of New York’s most notorious live metal bands, Emmure, will finally be making the long anticipated return down under for their first ever headline shows.

Since their inception in 2003, Emmure have released one EP, three studio albums and constantly toured the US and overseas garnering a legion of new fans with every show they play.  Now, with the impending release of their fourth album, the band is back on the road and keen to demonstrate to Australian fans why they have already earned the support of an army of fans across the globe.  After starting the year out supporting Machine Head, Hatebread and Bleeding Through on their Australian tour, and ending 2010 playing shows with Parkway Drive, Comeback Kid and Bleeding through, Emmure will be warmed up and ready to destroy Australia in January 2011.

Joining Emure on this brutal seven-date tour will be Sydney heavyweights Shinto Katana. Having toured with The Red Shore and Shai Hulud earlier this year, Shinto Katana released their highly anticipated follow up to 2008 debut album ‘Cold Streets’ in July this year with ‘We Can’t Be Saved’.
