Australia, some spectacular savagery is headed your way this July and August, with Florida metalcore juggernauts WAGE WAR bringing the 'It Calls Me By Name' world tour down under, joined by special guests ORTHODOX (USA) and HEAVENSGATE.
Hailing from the thick and humid swamps of Florida, WAGE WAR have spent their storied career cultivating a reputation for snarling breakdowns, infectious hooks and their own gripping take on the metalcore realms, with their releases also often lyrically packing a connective punch via themes of mental health, introspection and perseverance. Fluent in creating hybrid heavy creations and no strangers to chart success, including taking out the #1 spot on Billboard's Mainstream Rock Airplay chart for their single MAGNETIC, WAGE WAR have also just dropped their brand new EP It Calls Me By Name; a collection of songs shaped by Florida, the swamp and the relentless aggression of nature.Most recently performing in Australia in 2024 as part of Knotfest Australia, WAGE WAR have also extensively built their explosive live reputation across the globe. Praised by Everblack Media of their 2024 Brisbane co-headline sideshow with Asking Alexandria, declaring "the band's energy was on another level", WAGE WAR's recent performances in 2025 was acclaimed by Rockflesh as being "stadium metalcore, brutal enough to have a mean left hook but polished enough to be ludicrously accessible...if their job is to get throat muscles stretched and hamstrings limbered up then it is mission accomplished".
From hardcore to metal and everything in between, Nashville's ORTHODOX have built a name on their fervent and visceral live shows. A band who have truly made nu feel new again, ORTHODOX have taken innovation to a whole new level, embracing nods to Converge's start-and-stop metallic hardcore, Korn's breakdowns, Slipknot's fury and the grooves, and the molten alloy of Knocked Loose and Harm's Way, channeling it through their own signature style.
Melbourne heavies HEAVENSGATE catapulted out of the pandemic years and firmly into view via their raw hardcore-meets-metalcore intensity fused through a modern lens. Visceral in name and in nature, HEAVENSGATE have ticked off tours across Australia and internationally alongside the likes of The Amity Affliction, August Burns Red, We Came As Romans and Currents.
