In two weeks’ time, two of the most iconic men from two of the biggest Nu Metal bands in history touch down in Australia to perform 12 shows. These 12 shows are exclusively happening in New Zealand and Australia and will never be seen live again.
For the first time in history lead singers from rival bands, Slipknot and Mushroomhead, will share the stage together, ending the legendary feud that has been waged in the press and across social media for twenty-five years. To celebrate the tour and get HEAVY listeners up to speed we have a bunch of interviews, music videos, and a chance to win a VIP pass to meet Anders Colsefni.
In this first interview, we sent Kaosis frontman Xen a few questions about the tour and what we can expect from Kaosis on their shows in Australia. Xen is also the mastermind behind the tour dates. He also spills the beans on how Kaosis and Anders got together and what their plans are post-tour.
Anders Colsefni discusses being open to working with his old Slipknot cohorts if the opportunity presented itself and discusses what his favorite Slipknot song is post his departure. Anders is going to play the entire Mate Feed Kill Repeat record on this tour. The first time in 25 years.

Topics of discussion in this interview are what Waylon is bringing to the tour, the first details about his new album coming out later this year, the contentious issue of merch cuts, rising tour costs, surviving cancer, pop in metal, and more.
Reavis will be playing all your favorite Mushroomhead tracks including I’ll Be Here, Simple Survival, 1200, Our Apologies, Save Us, and QWERTY. Mushroomhead have never toured New Zealand and have made no indication that they will be traveling to Australia anytime soon. If you want to hear these classic Mushroomhead tracks this will probably be the only time you will get to.

Kaosis live at Totara Street:
Sin Soto: Sin Soto are one of the most innovative and socio-conscious bands repping in the Australasian scene over the last few years and their live shows are hyper-energetic and passionately driven.
