Emmure announce Australian tour

Having postponed their highly anticipated January Australian tour, New York’s most notorious live metal band Emmure have announced that they will finally be making their anticipated return down under this June for their first ever headline tour.

Since forming the band in 2003, Emmure has released four distinct and acclaimed studio albums and an EP and have relentlessly toured the US, Europe and the rest of the world, each show growing their legion of fans. Now on the back of the band’s fourth studio album “Speaker Of The Dead” released February, Emmure is back destroying venues across the globe and the band is keen to demonstrate to Australian fans how they got their reputation for amazing and notorious live shows. Having played with Parkway Drive, Machine Head, Hatebreed and so many more in 2010, Emmure have maintained their unrivalled schedule in 2011, hitting the US, Europe and Japan before they return to destroy Australia in June.

Joining Emmure on this brutal eleven-date tour will be Sydney heavyweights Shinto Katana. Having completed tours with The Red Shore and Shai Hulud in 2010 as well as releasing ‘We Can’t Be Saved’ the crushing follow up to 2008 debut album ‘Cold Streets.’ In 2011, they haven’t stopped, completing tours with Deez Nuts as well as headline runs. Shinto Katana are just getting started, by June they will be truly devastating.

June 2011 will see Emmure punish Australian audiences with their blistering combination of hardcore spirit and metal aggression, high energy live performances and a dedication to excellence. Emmure and Shinto Katana will hit your town in June 2011. Consider yourself warned.
