News : Separatist announce Australian tour

After having already played shows with the likes of Skinless, Dismember, I Killed the Prom Queen, Alarum and more in their home state of Tasmania over the past couple years, the release of SEPARATIST’s brilliant debut album ‘The Motionless Apocalypse’ in 2008 has seen the band start to make significant inroads into the wider Australian metal scene.

Successful tours to Canberra (headlining CHAOS ACT IV), Adelaide and Melbourne in mid 2008 were just a taste, and are now being followed up with an Australian tour spanning from December, 2008 through to March 2009 and taking in cities and towns all across the country.

With rave reviews of their debut album and their powerful and energetic live shows alike, this is a band that is heading places.

For fans of: Skinless, The Faceless, Aborted, The Black Dahlia Murder, Despised Icon

“Separatist have created what can only be described as a massive sound. It seriously kicks you in the face with powerful and often technical guitar riffage that will instantaneously make your body pulsate into a headbanging frenzy… Look out Death Metal, Separatist is coming to dominate you! (9/10)”
Brendan Amos: MetalObsession.net

“The Motionless Apocalypse is a truly impressive piece of work.”
Tom Wilson: Sauce Magazine
