News : Hand of Mercy Are Touring Australia This November
It’s been announced hardcore lads from Sydney, Hand of Mercy, are touring this November alongside Hellions and Void of Vision. This is great news for the Sydney “underground bruisers” who have been building their name and reputation since their inception in 2007. After being picked up by Australian independent label UNFD in 2012, the success of their second album, ‘Last Light’s’, saw Hand of Mercy tour alongside A Day to Remember, Comeback Kid, Emmure, and Underoath, before being invited to join Bleeding Through on their last leg on their tour across Europe and the UK. Hand of Mercy then followed this with a string of tours in Europe once more alongside Carnifex, Emmure, and fellow Australian acts, IKTPQ and Northlane, after taking a break from recording, before later returning home to work on it.
Their third studio album, ‘Resolve’, is due out on October 31 via UNFD. And now, thanks to Destroy All Lines and Kill Your Stereo, with the news of their new album on the way, Hand of Mercy will be conducting a massive 18 date national tour in support of this.
In just over a year, Sydney’s Hellions have established themselves as one of the country’s freshest
sounding heavy acts, drawing comparison to acts as diverse as Stray From The Path, Defeater,
Rage Against The Machine and A Day To Remember. Their blend of aggressive, hardcoreinfluenced
guitar work, punk rock melodicism, frenzied percussion and the uniqueness frontman,
Dre Faivre, all combine to form a sound and style that the band can proudly call their own.Melbourne five piece Void Of Vision have been gaining some huge ground over the last 6 months.
Their debut single Life//Blood made its Short Fast Loud debut on Triple J in April and the tracks
video has clocked up 10,000 views on YouTube. With their high energy and intense stage show they
are going to win a stack of hearts and break plenty of bones on this tour.With three of the most potent, razor sharp Australian bands on the one bill, Hand Of Mercy’s
Resolve tour will leave fans across the country utterly spent and destroyed. Sapped of all energy but
grinning from ear to ear.
Tickets go on sale tomorrow (September 16) at 9am via Destroy All Lines. To attend the official Facebook event, click here.
