Psycroptic

Tasmaniacs PSYCROPTIC will team up with Canada’s most intense death metal warriors ARCHSPIRE for an Australian tour this August. Melbourne’s HADAL MAW will be joining the party to kick the intensity up a level. \nTOUR DATES:\nAugust 16 - Brisbane / Crowbar\nAugust 17 - Sydney / Bald Faced Stag\nAugust 18 - Melbourne / Max Watts\nAugust 19 - Canberra / The Basement\nAugust 24 - Hobart / Brisbane Hotel*\nAugust 25 - Adelaide / Fowlers*\n(*Hadal Maw not appearing)\nIsolation can often result in unique outcomes. Hailing from the tiny, frosty, untamed and detached Australian state that is Tasmania, PSYCROPTIC have become an unparalleled act in an enigmatic worldwide movement commonly known as death metal. Since their formation in 1999, the band having released 6 critically acclaimed studio albums, all which show an organic progression along a clandestine path from which they will never stray. Powering their way to the top of Australian metal scene  in the early 2000's, PSYCROPTIC to this day still reign supreme and show no sign of relinquishing that hard earned position at any time soon.\nCanadian technical death outfit ARCHSPIRE exude talent, drive, creativity, and absolute dedication. A tight live performance, where impressive speeds come grinding to a halt, and in even less time twist and contort into complex passages rife with beautiful harmonies, juxtaposed against insidious melodies. An attention to song writing, focusing not only on technicality, but originality as well, take this sub genre and put it on it's ear. When all the elements required align in such a way that they form something original, and interesting, it becomes a catalyst for something new... and in the case of ARCHSPIRE, all has indeed, aligned.\nSince their inception in 2010, HADAL MAW have fast procured a stature as a benchmark for creating new perspectives on heavy music. Emerging onto the Australia live metal scene in late 2012, the Melbourne five piece have remained a talking point in the conversation on technical metal with their contributions of critically acclaimed albums “Senium” and “Olm”. This tour will see the debut of their latest work “Charlatan”, an effort to drive the darkest elements of their practice to the forefront of their sound and realize a vision of creating the most oppressive sound in the genre.\nGeneral admission & ticket bundles available now!
