News : DevilDriver and Whitechapel Announce Joint Australian Tour

By on June 16, 2014

DevilDriver, the mighty groove metallers from Santa Barbara, California, have joined forces with Tennessee-based deathcore heavyweights Whitechapel for a show critics have already hailed as being “one of the best shows [they’ve] ever attended” (Flashwounds) and “there might not be any shows as heavy or crazy as this one” (Pittsburgh Music Magazine).

And thanks to the folks at Soundwave Touring, DevilDriver and Whitechapel will be bringing their metallic onslaught down under for a double-bill this September! Don’t miss it, you will assuredly be kicking yourself if you do, especially considering as We Love Metal mentioned, “…they kill you through different methods, and those are two valiant deaths.”

Tickets go on Friday, June 20 at 9am AEST via Oztix and the respective venues.

DevilDriver/Whitechapel Australia Tour 2014

Friday 5, September – Brisbane, The Hi-Fi (18+)

Saturday 6, September – Sydney, The Hi-Fi (Licensed, All Ages)

Sunday 7, September – Melbourne, 170 Russell (18+)

DEVILDRIVER have been slaying their way across the USA in a string of sold out shows with the irrepressible WHITECHAPEL in tow. These two titans have joined forces and will be bringing their pure fuckin’ metal forces to Australia in September.

While many bands in the modern era are already withering away, DEVILDRIVER have proven to mutate, grow stronger, deadlier and more immortal. DEVILDRIVER conjure genuine chaos and make it beautifully brutal in their crushing live performances. Who can forget their now legendary appearance at Download 2007, which arguably generated the biggest circle pit in history? Or any other live show they’ve played for that matter?

Returning with the fifth full-length of their decimating career, there is no stopping the juggernaut that is WHITECHAPEL. Having spent several years lauded as one of the frontrunners in their genre, WHITECHAPEL stand as a defining force in contemporary heavy music. There is arguably no metal band out there right now that throws the crowd into a frenzy with their intense dynamic live show and their followers hungrily devour for more.

Don’t miss your chance to see one of the most brutal and crushing live shows of the year…
