In Hearts Wake Announce National Tour Dates & Unveil New Single

Byron Bay-bred metalcore crew In Hearts Wake have unveiled brand a new single in the wake of announcing a five-date national tour set to go down this July.

The new track, Warcry, is a taste of what the boys have been up to since we last heard from them, and, according to the band, is a conscionable, aptly named song.

"The current systems in place are violently pitting us against each other, propelling our species towards our own extinction," In Hearts Wake mused in a statement. "This track is a call to come together, to unite peacefully against the forces that are currently destroying life on Earth and the resources that support it. The time is now.

"The words of the verse are the vision of a Seer, who speaks of a dark and horrific future to come. The chorus defies this nihilistic prophesy outright. We, the New Generation, will not idly sit back and watch the abuse of our world. If we do not take timely action, then we are passively contributing to the Seer’s bleak prediction. Our inaction is part of the problem; let us answer the warcry and become part of the solution. What kind of a world do you wish for tomorrow — to ensure a tomorrow?"

The tour — at which Warcy will doubtlessly be on proud display — gets under way at Perth's Capitol Theatre, on Monday 10 July, before hitting Adelaide for a licensed all-ages affair. Melbourne, Sydney (also lic/AA) and Brisbane complete the trip.

The band has pulled together quite the international line-up of intrigue too, with Japanese faves Crossfaith, UK outfit While She Sleeps and Sydney's own Polaris all complementing the headliners on their sojourn.

Tickets for In Hearts Wake's upcoming tour will go on sale this Friday, 7 April, from 9am.
