Dragonforce with The Sword sidewaves announced
In our recent chat with Herman Li, the guitarist extraordinaire discussed his desire to play sideshows while in Australia for the Soundwave festival. Well, he's got his wish, as Dragonforce and the Sword will play two solo shows, one in Sydney and one in Melbourne.
In a musical realm where bands of a similar generation are happy to ape the classic acts, London based metal superstars Dragonforce are operating in a world of their own. The increased heaviness and pace they have injected has made them a fresh voice in the world of metal, and one that fans have responded to as a result, and we are pleased to announce that DragonForce are returning to Australia not only as part of the Soundwave 2013 festival, but also two very special Sidewaves in Sydney and Melbourne with support from The Sword.
To put it simply The Sword are a flat-out, supercharged, adrenaline-pumping outfit, a chrome-plated war machine that lauds over the blackened sky.
Coming off 2010's acclaimed concept album Warp Riders, The Sword approached their latest offering from a new perspective. Wrapping poetic and poignant imagery in a haze of crushing riffs and ethereal melodies.
Tickets on sale Friday Feb 1, 9am.
Monday 25 February - Melbourne, Billboard - tickets from Oztix, Ticketek, Moshtix
