With less than a month until Deafheaven hit Australian shores, Melbourne heavy two piece DIVIDE AND DISSOLVE have been added as the main support.
Divide and Dissolve’s art practice includes decolonising, decentralising, disestablishing, and destroying white supremacy. Divide And Dissolve are Takiaya Reed & Sylvie Nehill, a heavy two-piece band based in Narrm (Melbourne, Australia).
The pioneering duo use drums, guitar, saxophone, and live effects to create music designed to reshape the experiences of space and time for the listener. They are renowned for their bone crushing wall of amps that take over the room, creating a powerful and unforgettable experience unlike any other. Performing sold-out shows at home and abroad, the duo have been making some serious waves in Melbourne’s underground scene since dropping their scorching debut Basic in 2017 and the release of their latest LP Abomination (on Dero Arcade).
The tour follows Deafheaven’s famed 2016 visit, which saw the Californian outfit become the first black metal band ever to perform at the Sydney Opera House as part a stacked VividLIVE program also featuring Bon Iver, New Order and Anohni. This once-in-a-lifetime performance was described by Noisey as “dense, immense and immaculate” and inspired one MusicFeeds writer to herald it “one of the most enthralling and sonically captivating gigs of my professional career”.
Formed in San Francisco in 2010, Deafheaven (vocalist George Clarke, guitarists Kerry McCoy and Shiv Mehra, and drummer Dan Tracy) made their debut with 2011’s ‘Roads To Judah’ and enjoyed an unexpected crossover hit with 2013’s ‘Sunbather’. Since then, the band’s genre-defying sound has made them one of the most divisive and disarming bands in modern metal and their lauded live show has recruited fans from all corners of the globe.
