Sydney, AU (EMI MUSIC AUSTRALIA) - For what might seem like time-eternal, Australian metal fans have dreamt of their own big show. After all, the damn hippies seem to get some kind of
Roots Festival every weekend where they can gather on some cow paddock and exchange vibes with other vocationally challenged people of questionable hygiene.
Sure, there have been special moments such as the Metallica & Kyuss tour or the Slayer & Machine Head team-up. Big Day Out probably came closest with System Of A Down and Slipknot on the same bill in '04. But our island in the Pacific has NEVER witnessed anything like this before...
KORN + DISTURBED + HATEBREED +10 YEARS CONFIRM APRIL TOUR OF AUSTRALIA
Exploding out of the post grunge era, KORN, systematically picked the metal community up by the scruff of the neck, shook it around, and dropped it on its arse! The first decade of KORN ushered in a new era in heavy music with each of their 6 albums spawning hit after hit and catapulting KORN to the forefront of the heavy music.
Now entering its 2nd decade literally hundreds of imitators have been and gone, yet KORN remain at their peak, undaunted by the revolving door of pop music fads. Their new album, See You On The Other Side, is their most unrelenting musical maelstrom to date. The video for the first single Twisted Transistor has seen video request shows everywhere go in to meltdown featuring Snoop Dogg, Xzibit and 'Lil Jon, it's a spinal tap esque parody of KORN'S life and experience in the music industry.
Joining KORN, with their brand new album Ten Thousand Fists are Disturbed, another act renowned for their incredible live shows.
Never ones to do anything by halves, Korn will also be bringing out hardcore legends Hatebreed. Last seen on the 2005 Big Day Out, Hatebreed will be bringing their A Game and bone splintering live show to add fuel and fire to this already stunning bill.
With Metal fans already salivating and counting their pennies, the hottest newcomers to heavy music, 10 years, handpicked by KORN to join them on their current US tour, will be making their way to Australia for the first time to round out this all conquering event!
