Greg Puciato Announces Local Support Acts For Australia Tour 2024 With Guests King Yosef & Trace Amount
Prepare to be swept away on a sonic adventure like no other as Greg Puciato, the enigmatic force behind a multitude of groundbreaking musical projects, takes center stage on his Australian tour. This journey is far from ordinary, with an electrifying lineup of local acts that represent the full spectrum of Puciato's solo material.
In Brisbane, the chaotic mathcore of She Cries Wolf will leave you exhilarated, while in Sydney, the brooding post-metal darkness of Mountain Wizard Death Cult will envelop you in its atmospheric embrace. As you make your way to Adelaide, the experimental electronic sounds of Lonelyspeck will challenge your perception of music. Melbourne will bring the collision of new-age post-hardcore and '90s grunge courtesy of Post Heaven, and in Perth, prepare for the onslaught of crust-infused black metal by Halo of Teeth and the raw energy of screamo revival by PUKE.
Greg Puciato's musical journey has been nothing short of astonishing. From his early days as the frontman for The Dillinger Escape Plan, a pioneering force in extreme music, he has consistently pushed boundaries. He's been a key member of the heavy metal supergroup Killer Be Killed and a vital part of the synth-pop sensation The Black Queen. Puciato even joined Jerry Cantrell of Alice In Chains in his solo endeavor and currently leads the post-Every Time I Die supergroup Better Lovers.
However, Puciato's ultimate goal was always to embark on a solo project free from boundaries and limitations. His 2020 debut album, 'Child Soldier: Creator of God,' was a testament to his unbridled creativity. With longtime TDEP producer Steve Evetts and drummers like Chris Pennie (Dillinger Escape Plan), Ben Koller (Converge), and Chris Hornbrook (Poison The Well) by his side, Puciato wrote and performed most of the album himself. He even established the independent record label Federal Prisoner to self-release it.
Following up swiftly in late 2020 with the experimental live album/studio EP/visual hybrid 'Fuck Content,' Puciato continued to defy genre constraints. His second album, 'Mirrorcell,' released in 2022, showcased a more cohesive yet diverse form of razor-sharp alternative metal.
Now, as Puciato gears up to bring his visionary project to Australia, audiences are in for an unforgettable experience. Having toured extensively in the USA and Europe in 2023 with a full live band, he's chosen Australia as his next destination.
Joining Puciato on this mesmerizing journey is the trap metal producer King Yosef. Known for his bombastic approach and unique style of industrial trap metal, he'll add a whole new dimension to the tour. His live performance is an eclectic mix of influences, resulting in a captivating and unique experience.
Rounding out the ensemble is Trace Amount, the brainchild of Brandon Gallagher, formerly of hardcore band Old Wounds. With a penchant for confrontational, harsh industrial noise, Gallagher's debut album 'Anti Body Language' was released on Puciato's Federal Prisoner label. This tour marks Gallagher's inaugural visit to Australia, adding a fresh layer of intensity to the lineup.
Greg Puciato's Australian tour promises to be an unmissable event, a confluence of genres and talents that will ignite your passion for music and redefine your understanding of sonic possibilities. Prepare to be transported into a world of musical innovation and creativity, a journey through the mind of a true musical visionary.
