“All we did was get our friend Dylan, strapped a GoPro to his head smacked him on the bum and told him to follow us and watch us do stupid shit.“
They will launch the single on Thursday 12th October at The Lansdowne Hotel in Sydney. Tickets are on sale now from Oztix.
Watch the new video below.
Vocalist Sam Rilatt had this to say;
“The search to replace Nathan has been an arduous one! We’ve spent months and months auditioning, whilst we continued to tour with the help of some great drummers from around the country. Given the caliber of our session guys, the bar was set so high, and it’s exciting that we can now formally welcome Socks to the band and it serves as proof of just how perfect a fit he is. His winning attitude, combined with his monster drum style and technique, plus a sincere passion for everything to do with drumming meant that he is absolutely the right choice for us moving forward.“
Further to this, the band were recently added to the Sydney leg of the upcoming Kreator / Vader tour, as well as a three-show headlining weekender in November taking in Canberra, Geelong and Melbourne and then appearing at the Stigmata Productions 15th Anniversary show in Sydney.
