You wanted it, you got it. Boris The Blade have been met with overwhelming support for their Final Melbourne shows, so much so, they've announced one final tour of Australia to say goodbye to all the fans that helped them along the way.
After almost ten years the guys are pulling the pin on the band to focus on other aspects of life and other musical endeavours according to guitarist Josh Lording who told us:
"I personally need a break from everything. I'm sure I'll continue to write songs in my own time, but definitely no projects for me. Sharpy has just had a baby so I imagine he has his hands full for a while. Coby is still doing some stuff with his Nu-Metal band he grew up in called Repture. Karl is currently playing drums in Gravemind and Brad is in a band called Cold Ground..."
Its bittersweet for a band who covered so much ground and became household names in death metal, not only here but across the globe, opening for bands like Sepultura, Suicide Silence and Whitechapel to name a few (as well as being called upon to appear on the New England Metal & Hardcore Festival back in 2015.
The tour will kick off on April 6th with a very special show outside of Melbourne in Sunbury at the Alley Nightclub, a place which holds a very special spot in the band's hearts as Lording added:
"Sharpy, Coby and myself pretty much grew up together in Sunbury, from about 12-13 years old... Seems fitting to lay it to rest where it all started, this is more of a personal show for us"
We're not crying, you are!!! If you want to be part of history and say a huuuuge goodbye to the band in style, make sure you grab your tickets to the shows below. A Night In Texas, Whoretopsy and Zeolite will join the boys (at selected dates below)
