Highly acclaimed heavy metal icons Disturbed will be returning for their massive “Music As A Weapon” tour and are ready to annihilate arena stages in Australia and New Zealand this April, much to the satisfaction of their legions of fans.
Arguably one of the most successful heavy metal bands around today, Disturbed have sold over 11 million albums globally and are one of only three bands in music history to have four consecutive releases debut at #1 on the US Billboard Top 200 album chart. Asylum is the fifth studio offering by the Grammy Award nominated band (2009) and the first single “Another Way To Die” has continued to impress listeners since its immediate injection into the top spot on the iTunes Rock Chart once available.
To add to the mayhem, axe wielding metal band Trivium will join Disturbed at all shows on tour as special guests. Trivium have over 800 live shows to their name to date and are ready to show off their prowess again following their last visit in support of 2008’s epic release Shogun. Trivium is a powerhouse of metal and their live performances burst with a raw brutality that will certainly leave audiences quaking in their wake. Metalcore ensemble As I Lay Dying are also performing on the “Music As A Weapon” tour, armed with tracks from their new album The Powerless Rise that has seen them cement their place as one of the most groundbreaking acts in the metal genre.
Opening the tour at all Australian shows will be Forgiven Rival^. The band is rapidly gaining momentum here and overseas, sharing billings with UnderOath, Parkway Drive, Story Of The Year and more. Their highly commended debut album This Is A War has seen them catch the attention of US label Indianola Records, with whom the band are now signed.
This killer lineup is sure to have fans eagerly rearing their horns in anticipation and clamouring for a piece of the action.
