Few Australian heavy bands have experienced the kind of ascent that To The Grave have enjoyed over the past several years. Emerging from the underground with 2019’s Global Warning, the group have steadily transformed themselves from local deathcore favourites into one of the country’s most successful extreme music exports, carrying their uncompromising sound to audiences across Europe, the United Kingdom and North America.
Now the Australian deathcore outfit are preparing to return home for the Nail Australia To The Walls Tour, an eight-date national run this September that arrives as the band prepares to enter the next chapter of its career.
The tour follows a period of sustained international growth for To The Grave. Along the way they have shared stages with some of modern heavy music’s biggest names, including Lorna Shore, Shadow Of Intent, Carnifex, Signs Of The Swarm, Thy Art Is Murder, AngelMaker and I Killed The Prom Queen. Festival appearances at major international events including Brutal Assault, Summer Breeze and Motocultor have further cemented their reputation as one of the most ferocious live acts in contemporary deathcore.
Joining To The Grave for the tour are Alabama straight-edge death metal hardcore outfit No Cure, who will make their long-awaited Australian debut. The group arrive with growing momentum behind them ahead of the release of their forthcoming third album It’s Going To Get Dark, bringing a blend of metallic extremity, hardcore urgency and unwavering conviction that has made them one of the most talked-about names in the American underground.
Rounding out the bill are Melbourne beatdown specialists Algor Mortis and Canberra vegan deathgrind outfit Bloodmouth, completing a line-up that reads like a snapshot of the current state of extreme music on both sides of the Pacific.
