Impending Doom announce Australian tour
Impending Doom is one of the defining metal bands of our generation who are set to annihilate Australian audiences for the first time this September. Conjured, cobbled together and consecrated from the same dirty and fertile Inland empire earth that has spawned much of the so-called “deathcore” movement. Impending Doom has actualized the brand new sub-genre dubbed “Gorship” from a synthesis of savage death metal, intense atmospheric and subversive melody hatched from a formula melding the aggressive angst of Slipknot, the modern metal brutality of Lamb Of God, the stop-start riffage of Fear Factory and the trailblazing experimentation of the Deftones.  Impending Doom return with their brutal fourth full length album Baptized In Filth, a career defining statement showcasing them at their ‘furious and unforgiving best’- Decoy Music Hailing from the laid back suburbs of the Gold Coast, Prepared Like A Bride are cementing themselves as one of the most exciting and brutal hardcore ban...
