SKELETAL REMAINS (USA)“Fragments Of The Ageless” Australia Tour 2024Old School Death Metal Force of Destruction SKELETAL REMAINS will make their return to Australia this August 2024 to blaze you with a live experience of their latest crushing album Fragments of the Ageless.The group featuring Mike De La O (guitars), Chris Monroy (guitars/vocals), Pierce Williams (drums), and newcomer Brian Rush (bass)—kept busy after their much-hailed The Entombment of Chaos landed into a chaotic world in 2020 and rather than sit idle, SKELETAL REMAINS will return to Brisbane, Sydney, Adelaide, Melbourne and Canberra this August 2024 joined by Sydney based merchants of skull bludgeoning Death Metal ANOXIA on all shows!The principal songwriting for Fragments of the Ageless started during the pandemic but picked up considerable steam once the band were back on the road in 2022, where they played countless shows and festivals in the U.S., Europe, South America, Central America, and Australia. With Pierce and Brian fully in the fold, Monroy and De La O found themselves, in a way, back to square one, namely the “entire band effort” that comprised their 2012 debut, Beyond the Flesh. The savage DNA of Skeletal Remains is intact, but it’s been altered—no, improved!—iteratively to attack more, devour absolutely, and technically inspire. Tracks like video singles “Void of Despair,” “To Conquer the Devout,” “Relentless Appetite,” as well as deeper album cuts “Forever in Sufferance,” “Verminous Embodiment,” and “Unmerciful” are ravenous.“It’s more brutal than the last one,” says Monroy. “We were pushing ourselves to be more extreme—vibing on that as much as possible. Obviously, we’re not tech-death now, but I think we took inspiration from the techier side of things. We took things up a notch and dialed in on the technicality and ever-increasing intensity while maintaining catchiness. We still have songs like ‘Eternal Hatred’ [from The Entombment of Chaos]. There’s always room for super-simple mid-paced songs in Skeletal Remains. On one end, we’ve increased in density and brutality; on the other, we wrote a few songs with longer and more ‘epic’ structures. 'Fragments' is simply the next evolutionary step in our sound.”Wednesday 21/8 Soapbox, BrisbaneThursday 22/8 Marrickville Bowlo, SydneyFriday 23/8 Lion Arts Factory, AdelaideSaturday 24/8 The Leadbeater, MelbourneSunday 25/8 The Baso, CanberraTickets will sell out for most shows so grab yours from here: www.yourmatebookings.comPresented by Your Mate Bookings, Grindhead Productions, Utopia Records & New Dead Promotions
