Destroy All Lines presents:
Periphery Australian Tour
Periphery + Chaos Divine + Make Way For Man
Six piece progressive metal juggernaut, Periphery will be returning to Australia next February in support of their new album Periphery III: Select Difficulty which is released today!
Representing the vanguard of addictive, chaotic, challenging and cathartically inviting heavy music for the modern era, Periphery's triple-guitar attack and rhythmic dexterity has won them a dedicated fanbase that encompasses subcultures ranging from the Vans Warped kid and the metalhead to the most dedicated Rush purist.
In 2015 the band landed two albums in the Top 20 of the US Billboard Top 200 chart. Juggernaut: Alpha and Juggernaut: Omega respectively debuted at #15 and #16 in the same week. The intertwined conceptual albums garnered praise from Rolling Stone, Alternative Press and Kerrang! who described Alpha as “the sound of a band in complete control of their sonic destiny, reining in those djenty riffs for more cinematic musings that quickly unravel into modern metal anthems”
Periphery have earned their highly respected reputation onstage and off through a combination of undeniable chops, upbeat charisma and jaw dropping live show. Dedicating themselves to reaching levels of artistry, musicianship and craftmanship so high as to transcend from being the most important band of the djent subgenre to being one of the most important metal bands period.
Boundary pushing experimentalism, nuanced mathematical cacophony and complex grooves have the average Periphery fan just as likely to scramble for guitar tabs to decode those inscrutable polyrhythms as they are to bruise themselves in the moshpit.
The bands last headline tour of Australia was sold out. Expect this one to do the same!
Line Up
Periphery
“An anthemic, stadium-sized sound…Colliding Skies is one of the best progressive heavy rock albums of the year”
- The Music
Leading audiences and listeners through a journey of uncompromising arrangements, crushing heavy riffs and soaring melodies, Perth’s enigmatic prog metal five-piece CHAOS DIVINE have well and truly immersed themselves in a realm of sound and style matched by few, and admired by many.
With a suite of industry accolades, national and international tours, and appearances at SOUNDWAVE and BIG DAY OUT festivals under their belt, CHAOS DIVINE have carved out an impressive reputation for delivering a powerful and dynamic live show. The band has supported some of the biggest names in rock and metal including SLAYER, MASTODON, TESSERACT, ANIMALS AS LEADERS, BETWEEN THE BURIED AND ME, FEAR FACTORY, DARK TRANQUILITY, TRIVIUM, THE OCEAN, DEVIL DRIVER, STATIC-X, and more.
With an EP and three studio albums under their belt, the band now offers up Colliding Skies (2015), their most accomplished record to date that delivers a bold step-change to an already proven formula. The follow-up to 2011’s The Human Connection - the group’s critically acclaimed second studio album, branded by many as a benchmark in modern progressive metal – Colliding Skies showcases a new level of craftsmanship in power and melody. It is being heralded globally as one of 2015’s best progressive heavy albums.
‘Soldiers’, the first single from the new album, shot to #1 on the Australian iTunes metal charts and took out the 2014 West Australian Metal Song of the Year Award. Following their recent signings to INTROMENTAL (European & US bookings), and WILD THING PRESENTS (Australian bookings), CHAOS DIVINE look set for an even bigger future.
Colliding Skies is out now through Firestarter Music.
