In 2008, Escape The Fate made waves in the US metalcore scene with their debut album This War is Ours. Given the success of their first album, they garnered in collaboration with rock producer DonGilmore who had previously worked with Linkin Park and Avril Lavigne. After the release of their second self-titled record, they towered Billboard’s Hard Rock Albums.
Their latest release Chemical Warfare is indicative of new directions in the band, seeing them start exploring melodies to their full potential. Instrumentation follows like a breath of fresh air, the extremely clean production on their record gives them a new sound that entices excitement into the band’s future.
Given that it’s their first release of an album since 2011, D.R.U.G.S’ new album Destroy Rebuild is highly awaited. Also being their first time playing in Australia in over 10 years, the band’s return is massive. After such a long time between records, the band’s leader Craig Owens states that “This album is my first step forward without thinking of running back.”
Australian band The Beautiful Monument also join The Dead Masquerade. Their 2019 single Deceiver put them on the map and placed them onto triple j rotation. The band are now back to recording new music, and this tour is expected to be a fantastic opportunity for the Melbourne-based band.
The Dead Masquerade starts in Perth on the 18 of April. More shows will grace our shores after in Adelaide, Sydney, Brisbane, and Melbourne.
