Press release:

Hailing from Los Angeles, Hollywood Undead first burst on the scene in 2008 with their signature brand of rap rock and furious energy. These masked maniacs will leave fans’ heads buzzing long after the clubs have let out and the hangover sets in. Their new album “American Tragedy is a wildly fun, head-thumping, booze-chugging, 14 track-long hedonistic binge.” Revolver Magazine

Hollywood Undead will be bringing their explosive live show to Australia fans for the very first time and “with a newfound heavy fury, they have cemented themselves as one of the best live bands in the world right now.” – Artist Direct

Skindred have been causing a right royal rumble in the underground since they formed in 98 and their blend of ragga metal is certainly the only of its kind. Skindred are now at a place where the rest of the world can now jump aboard and come along for the ride. Skindred’s brand new album ‘Union Black’ which is release locally through 3Wise “is the perfect album to elevate them from Britain’s best kept secret to world class performers.” – One Metal

“There is no doubt that Skindred are one of the most exciting live acts the UK has produced in the past decade. Even your most purist, elitist and holier-than-thou of metalheads would struggle to fault their consistently explosive stage performances.” – Thrash Hits

While there’s no exact science to the resulting madness that is Every Time I Diethe band has consistently produced maniacal, convulsive and completely unpredictable albums throughout their career. Nowhere is this more evident than on their stunning fifth album, ‘New Junk Aesthetic’, which sees Every Time I Die set out to corrupt souls and bring fans to their knees with an orchestrated chaos of their heaviest most skillful work.….”remarkable” – Rock Sound

It can be said that some bands truly embody a certain spirit or emotion. Without a doubt, Massachusetts’ juggernauts, The Acacia Strain, truly embody anger. They will unleash their ferocious live show to Australian audience in support of their latest record Wormwood.

Adding to the mayhem is Phoenix Arizona natives The Word Alive who will be showcasing their latest genre –bending opus Deceiver. Dubbed as one of heavy music’s finest upstarts their furious live shows have seen them turn heads across the globe.
