Opeth announce support acts for Sydney & Adelaide

Opeth

 

December 2019 will see OPETH touring Australia and performing a stunning set of classic tracks from throughout their 30-year career as well as introducing Australian audiences to astounding new material from their new studio album ‘In Cauda Venenum’. It can now be confirmed that the Sydney show is now officially SOLD OUT alongside the Brisbane show which SOLD OUT several weeks ago. Some tickets remain for the shows in Melbourne, Adelaide and Perth but these aren’t expected to last very long.

After the announcement of 3 of the opening acts Voyager (Perth), Circles (Melbourne) and Caligula’s Horse (Brisbane) we can now announce the remaining 2 support slots have been filled.

Joining OPETH’s latest Australian odyssey in Sydney are Hemina! Hemina are a 4 piece Progressive Metal band from Sydney. The band’s sound has been described as a unique combination of hard hitting syncopated grooves, lush synth backwashes, multi-part vocal harmonies, blistering memorable leads with a focus on songwriting and emotion. The band have recently released their fourth album ‘Night Echoes’ offering the eclectic flavours of what fans have come to expect in the past as well as a new palette and range of emotional expression never before heard from the group.

Whilst OPETH will be joined in Adelaide by local act Southern Empire! Southern Empire captures the listener with catchy, hook-laden songs, astounding musicianship and a hard, edgy sound perfectly suited to today’s progressive rock/metal aficionado. Signed to UK label GEP Records in 2016, they released their self-titled debut album that year to critical acclaim. Their second album, ‘Civilisation’ topped progressive rock charts world-wide and was the 2018 album of the year in many international polls.
