Dreadnaught announce tour and ESP deal

Dreadnaught guitarists, Richie Poate and Damon Alcock, are proud to announce an endorsement with ESP guitars, the world’s finest rock guitars.

“It’s an honour to be endorsing ESP guitars and to be included with the world’s best guitarists as ESP endorsees. ESP has been a mainstay of heavy metal guitars for many years and we both are exceptionally impressed by the quality of tone, and playability of these new guitars.”

Since forming in 1992, Dreadnaught have established themselves as a cornerstone for Australian heavy rock audiences. As genres and bands come and go Dreadnaught never fail to provide their loyal fans, both old and new, with diverse offerings that are rooted in the brand of Australian rock and metal that the band have become an historic part of.

The new self-titled album ([D->0]) is a departure from the rock orientated releases of previous years and represents a return to the bands early metallic roots, and is the heaviest Dreadnaught release to date. Now it’s time to bring the brutal to the masses!

The shows will also coincide with the release of several new video clips for songs from the LP. Keep an eye out for these on the band’s YouTube and MySpace pages over the coming weeks!

The Japanese shows coincide with the album's release in Japan on Soundholic records.
