SIGNV/S & BURY ME
Adelaide Metal Aficiandos Signv/s are set to embark upon their first National Tour accompanied by Sydney metalcore sensations Bury Me for a massive heavy metal double bill!
Taking their signature infusion of heavy metal, djent and metalcore nationally in support of their new EP Disgrace, the band is hungrier than ever to hit the road and connect with fans in the flesh. Incorporating influences such as Knocked Loose and Alpha Wolf, Disgrace has seen worldwide support including landing the group a spot on Perish Fest with Diamond Construct, Starve and Life’s Ill. Coming off a sold out launch show, Signv/s will be delivering their high energy audible manifesto across Queensland, Victoria, New South Wales and South Australia.
Not to be outdone, Bury Me are known for delivering their culmination of mid-2000’s nostalgia, pure aggression, bludgeoning breakdowns and ferocious riffs. Swerving between delicate dynamics and the extreme heat of their heaviness, the group’s live performances unleash an intensity that aims a punch right at the jugular. Coming off a successful release of their debut EP After The Suffering that saw the band garner global coverage and airplay, Bury Me are primed and ready to show Australia the new wave of high-octane sonic onslaught.
Vocalist Brendan Clark from Bury Me speaks “We were meant to do our first tour back in June, that was until covid-19 got in the way and forced us to cancel, but it’s definitely safe to say that sharing our new first tour with our new friends in Signv/s definitely makes up for it more than we can put into words!”
Signv/s speak on the upcoming tour “We are super keen to tour for the first time, since dropping our debut EP and selling out our EP release show in our home town of Adelaide it has only made us so much more excited to showcase our EP in Australias major cities!”
