King Parrot are currently touring across Europe supporting Soulfly and Incite. King Parrot’s latest release Dead Set hit the ARIA album charts at #21 on its release, making it the highest debut for an Australian extreme metal release in history. We highly recommend you pick up a copy of Deadset via Nerve Gas today.
FFDP crashed into the ARIA Charts at #3 with their sixth album, Got Your Six, giving them their highest Australian chart position ever! Got Your Six is the follow-up to the two global smash hits, 2013’s The Wrong Side Of Heaven And The Righteous Side Of Hell Volumes 1 and 2 which debuted at #13 and #29 respectively. The album prior, 2011’s American Capitalist debuted at #50, proving FFDP’s fanbase has grown dramatically in Australia over just a few years.
The band has partnered with VEVO to exclusively debut the much-anticipated official music video for their new single My Nemesis.
The clip’s multi-faceted storyline explores the hard and painful choices everyone has to face one time or another in life. The video is focused around the pain and grief involved in overcoming and moving on from emotionally entangled difficult situations – following various scenarios from teenage runaways to drug abuse and domestic violence. Peterson powerfully depicts this impactful message on film, similar to the band’s “Wrong Side of Heaven” video in 2014. That clip was intended to increase knowledge about the plight of veterans suffering from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and the crowd-funding campaign to support the cause raised over $ 225,000 at the time, www.5fdp4Vets.com
FFDP last visit to our shores was in 2014 as part of the Soundwave Festival where their trademark stadium anthems garnered new fans and thrilled their faithful.
