Scottish extreme metal outfit Frontierer announce debut Australian tour

Frontierer

They're bringing their unrelenting, uncompromising brand of sonic punishment to Australian shores for the very first time, next month.

Fusing mathcore cacophony with downtuned bludgeoning tones for a progressive metal sound layered with electronics. Frontierer are in a class of their own. Catch them when they head to Melbourne for one show only at Stay Gold in Brunswick on Sunday October 16, where they will be joined by R U N and Nicolas Cage Fighter.

The band comment on the tour; “We’re incredibly excited to be heading to Australia to play a limited number of shows in October. We have a strong fanbase and we’ve been eager to perform over there for a number of years, so we’re really looking forward to some crazy shows.”

Originally a two-person bedroom project created by Scottish guitarist and primary songwriter Pedram Valiani and American vocalist Chad Kapper,  the band has since grown to become a fully-fledged touring machine with bassist Calum Craig, guitarist Dan Stevenson, and drummer Luke Coursey fleshing out the current lineup.

After their debut live performance at UK Tech Metal Festival 2016, Frontierer was listed in Rolling Stone Magazine’s Best Metal Albums twice with two subsequent albums in 2016 and 2018 reaching #14 and #17 respectively.

Bringing much needed chaotic energy to Australian shores, we said in our review of their track ‘Unloved’: “This is some super gnarly noise out of the UK. ‘Unloved’ sounds like the microscopic interactions of the mechanics inside the vehicles involved in a massive highway pileup crunching into each other underneath the hoods of their doomed vessels.”
