News : The Black Dahlia Murder and Unearth to tour Australia

Two of America’s leading metal bands – The Black Dahlia Murder and Unearth – are set to co-headline an Australian tour in May/June, 2010. The tour will take in all usual Australian mainland capitals, with under 18 shows currently scheduled for both Brisbane and Melbourne.

Press Release:

“Get ready Australia – two of the world’s greatest Metal bands are hitting Australian shores this May/June! Together for the first time down under, Unearth and The Black Dahlia Murder co-headline a tour that will slaughter anything you have heard before. Combining the hardcore and extreme metal of Unearth and the Swedish-influenced blackened thrash of The Black Dahlia Murder, this double-hitter of American Metal muscle will be melting faces in a five-city tour of Australia.

Hailing from Massachusetts – Unearth combine elements of hardcore, thrash, and extreme metal with thought-provoking lyrical ideas and concepts. Originally formed in 1998, Unearth has released a steady stream of modern metal classics, including 2001’s ‘The Stings of Conscience’ up until 2008’s masterpiece ‘The March’. All the while, Unearth continuously crisscrossed the globe, becoming one of the hardest and most consistent touring bands in all of hard rock.

Adding to the onslaught of Unearth comes The Black Dahlia Murder. Still riding high on their rabidly-received fourth studio album ‘Deflorate’, following their pitch-black cacophony of 2007’s ‘Nocturnal’, The Black Dahlia Murder have cemented their place as one of metal’s most outstanding underground outfits at the peak of its unmitigated musical brutality. Since forming in 2000, the Black Dahlia death machine has been perfecting their live show with relentless touring around the world.

Whether a fan of either of these powerhouses, an enthusiast of Metal and heavy music, or just in the market for a phenomenal show, this is one tour to mark on your calendars. “
