If you call yourself a fan of heavy music and your pulse isn't already racing, you need to check your vitals right now. The absolute masters of Floridian metalcore, Wage War, are officially gearing up to bring their massive, unrelenting It Calls Me By Name world tour down under. This isn't just another casual standard run across the ocean, folks; this is a full-blown, sonic assault that is set to completely decimate every single venue it touches.
The demand out there is already completely mental. We have already seen the Melbourne show get a massive venue upgrade to The Forum because Aussie heavy music fans simply cannot get enough of what these guys bring to the table. Brisbane and Sydney are staring down the barrel of selling out entirely. If you are sitting on the fence waiting to grab your tickets, you are going to miss out on one of the most essential heavy packages of the entire year.
What makes Wage War such a beautiful, brutal force of nature is their incredible ability to balance sheer, unadulterated chaos with absolute melodic perfection. They throw down some of the most bone-shattering, snarling breakdowns you will ever hear in your life, but they seamlessly back it up with these infectious, soaring hooks that just get completely buried in your head. Tracks from their brand-new EP It Calls Me By Name, alongside their massive back catalogue, are built specifically to ignite the mosh pit.
And let’s talk about the supports, because this line-up is completely stacked from top to bottom. Sharing the stage on this absolute monster of a tour are Nashville hardcore legends Orthodox, who bring a filthy, aggressive edge, and Melbourne's very own rising heavy juggernauts Heavensgate.
HEAVY caught up with vocalist Briton Bond and guitars/clean vocals Cody Quistad to chat more.
