Perth groove metal act Bayview Suspect have had a stellar year in 2019 so far, first supporting the legendary Phil Anselmo & The Illegals alongside King Parrot at this year’s sold out Slayfest and then releasing a brand new song titled “Stay Away” which was officially launched at Perth Monthly Metal Club Hornography on May 24th. Following the launch the Perth 5 piece were also selected for a nomination at this year’s West Australia Music (WAM) Heavy / Metal Song Of The Year Award for the track “Belly Full Of Lies” off their “Survival Or Ruin” EP release. The band top it all off with a string of tour dates across Australia for their first interstate run which will include Melbourne, Canberra, Newcastle and Sydney.
Now the band have announced lineups for all the shows which will see interstate bands joining the band on tour along with some solid local acts.
Closing out 3 of the shows in NSW and Canberra is Sydney death metal act Gutter Tactic who have previously toured with such acts as King Parrot, Sinsaenum, Psycroptic, Black Dahlia Murder and Cattle Decapitation. Heavy progressive sounding Sydney act Enter 6 also joins the tour on 2 shows in Canberra and Sydney while melodic groovers Red Sea tag along for 2 shows in Newcastle and Sydney. On the local front heavy melodic metallers Clarity Of Chaos support the show in Canberra, local Steel City heavies Blackout To Oblivion provide support in Newcastle while Melbourne sees Massacre Of Innocence and Cam Bird supporting the Perth boys on the first date of the tour.
The tour is in support of their brand new single “Stay Away” available now on all major digital platforms including iTunes and Spotify, as well as their most recent EP release “Survival Or Ruin” which came out on September 14th 2018 through Rockpit Records and which received rave reviews including from Hysteria Magazine stating “This EP has everything you could want from truly imaginative melodic groove metal–vicious vocals, machine gun drum lines, killer guitar and bass runs that tickle the ears like ants on speed“.
