Australia, get ready to have your faces completely melted because some spectacular savagery is heading down under this winter. Floridian metalcore titans Wage War are returning to our shores for their first-ever nationwide headline tour, and if you think they’re coming alone to play nice, you are dead wrong. They are bringing one of the most vicious live acts on the planet today to help them tear down venues across the country: Nashville’s very own heavy-hitters, Orthodox.
Led by the chaotic energy of frontman Adam Easterling, Orthodox are a unique but undeniable powerhouse that absolutely refuses to compromise. These guys have made nu-metal feel genuinely new and dangerous again. They take the absolute best elements of Converge’s start-and-stop metallic hardcore, throw it in a blender with the unhinged fury of early Slipknot and Korn, and channel it through their own signature, modern style. It is a molten alloy of sonic violence that hits you like a freight train, reminiscent of Knocked Loose or Harm’s Way but with an entirely different breed of aggression.
Having just dropped their massive fifth studio album, A Door Left Open, Orthodox are returning to Australia with a massive point to prove. Aussie fans got a small taste of their visceral live show last year when they supported Stray From The Path on their final run down under, but this time around, the gloves are completely off. This isn’t just music; it’s a therapeutic, audio beatdown.
This epic winter tour is shaping up to be an absolute ripper. Melbourne demand has already forced a massive venue upgrade to the iconic Forum, while Brisbane’s Tivoli and Sydney’s Metro Theatre are selling out faster than a bad decision at 2:00 AM. Alongside local legends Heavensgate, Orthodox are primed to deliver a masterclass in pure, unadulterated hardcore violence. If your neck isn’t broken by the end of their set, you simply weren’t doing it right. Get your tickets now via Destroy All Lines before you’re left with major FOMO. Tickets HERE
