Thy Art Is Murder, War From A Harlots Mouth [Germany], The Bride and Make Them Suffer will hit the East Coast this December.
Since the release of their debut EP Infinite Death in 2008, Thy Art Is Murder have demanded attention both Australia-wide and internationally. Known for brutal breakdowns, punishing blast beats and gore riddled lyrics, the Western Sydney five-piece have sold out several headlining tours while apologising for no one. Their debut full length, The Adversary, saw the tradition of brutality continue with more touring, more controversy and now the headlining spot on the Soldiers Of Immortality Tour.
War From A Harlots Mouth started to make a name for themselves when they released their debut album, Transmetropolitan. Upon its release, word about the band exploded across Europe, earning the German five-piece shows all over Europe and the USA. Now, War From A Harlots Mouth head to Australia for the very first time, to put on show their third and most recent release XXM, which is out now through Lifeforce Records.
Formed in 2006, The Bride have built themselves a legion of fans with a solid debut EP release and constant touring across the country. This has culminated in a high energy live performance that has seen them support some of the biggest names in modern metalcore. Having recently signed to UNFD records, the Sydney five-piece have released their first full-length, President Rd, amid claims that it is one of the best hardcore releases of 2011.
Perth’s Make Them Suffer have made their mark on the Australian metal scene since they got together in 2008. Not only have they released a critically acclaimed EP with Lord Of Woe, but have also developed a reputation for delivering an energetic and intense live performance.
The Soldiers Of Immortality Tour will be wreaking havoc in major cities on the East Coast this December. Don’t miss the carnage when it reaches your town.

Following the success of their debut album Cancer (2009) and sold-out national tours throughout 2010, Australian hardcore band Confession prepares to push forward.
With members living in Adelaide, Byron Bay and Melbourne, the quintet took proceedings to the North Coast, to the Parkway house in Byron Bay, to write 10 new songs. Doing so essentially “made this record what it is,” as being in the house is so “relaxing and peaceful,” tells vocalist Michael Crafter.
Recorded with iconic Swedish metal producer Fredrik Nordström (Bring Me The Horizon, I Killed The Prom Queen, In Flames), at his Gothenburg Studio, The Long Way Home presents an assured and strengthened outfit.
“We knew he was going to make this record sound amazing and he did exactly that,” says Crafter, of the talented producer.
The album explores lyrical themes relating to decisions we make regarding “the life path we follow.” A matured and retrospective Crafter – who is no stranger to the writing and recording process, having previously fronted I Killed The Prom Queen, Bury Your Dead and Carpathian during his career – continues. “It’s about being happy and doing what you want to do. We take roads that lead us very far away from the people we love and the place we call home. But our family and friends will always be there for us when we need them.”
Musically the album unveils a “faster and more intense” sound, than Blunt Magazine’s Australian Album of the Year for 2009, Cancer; which also debuted at #1 on the AIR Independent Charts. Though in keeping true to their roots, fusing both heavy and melodic elements together “is what we have always been about,” claims Crafter. And keeping “a good balance is what we have achieved.”
Having taken a giant leap towards forging themselves as a force within the international hardcore community, Confession is back on home soil and eagerly awaiting the release of The Long Way Home.

Byron Bay Hardcore presents
Christmas Chaos 2010
Thy Art Is Murder will return to Byron in December to headline Christmas Chaos 2010 alongside In Hearts Wake, Sydney band Shinto Katana and locals Face Hate & Think Twice.
Since releasing their debut EP “Infinite Death” in 2008 Thy Art Is Murder have demanded attention throughout Australia and internationally. The 5-piece death metal band from western Sydney have destroyed all unwritten laws of the Australian heavy music scene whilst apologizing to no one.
They have since gone from strength to strength on the back of their debut album “The Adversary” which was released through Skull and Bones Records/STOMP. After a successful stint on The Mistake Tour earlier this year, and several sold out headline runs, the band will return to Byron for Christmas Chaos on December 16th.
Joining Thy Art Is Murder will be local kids In Hearts Wake, who have had an impressive year with several tours and a new release under their belt. Also on the bill are Sydney siders Shinto Katana who released their latest effort ‘We Can’t Be Saved’ through Dogfight Records earlier this year and are due to head out on tour with Emmure (USA) in January. Rounding out the line up will be local up and coming bands Face Hate and Think Twice.
