It has been an incredible year for up-and-coming metal band Bury Tomorrow and it only seems to be getting better with tickets for their UK Headline Tour selling out at Manchester Academy 3 on Sunday.
With tickets to watch the band in Bristol, Birmingham and Glasgow also sold out it seems they’re set for domination.
The Hampshire quintet spent spring performing at Radstock Festival before hitting the road with Of Mice And Men and have been tearing up the festival scene all summer.
Securing slots at Slam Dunk, Red Fest, Summer Jam and the prestigious Download Festival, they also held the honour of opening the main stage at Reading and Leeds. With a string of renowned festivals to their name, Bury Tomorrow are indisputably putting their stamp on the UK circuit and are set to leave their imprint in Manchester.
Publishing the lyrics for Sceptres on their website accompanied by a message encouraging fans to learn them ahead of the tour, it appears that the band are anticipating that their followers will go all out this autumn.
Their second studio album, Union Of Crowns released through Nuclear Blast Records in 2012, integrated a monarchy theme and has marked a massive progression in the band’s musical development.
Levelling breakdowns and massive hooks have generated a tremendously catchy album. Whilst remaining melodic there is equal emphasis on heaviness, the new material is much darker than their previous album Portraits.
The album’s critical acclaim has reinforced and fuelled their growing popularity, leading to a Metal Hammer Golden Gods Award nomination for best new band this year.
Despite the departure of lead guitarist Mehdi Vismara back in January and the introduction of Kristan Dawson, the transition appears to have been a smooth one and the band’s success is continuing to rocket.
Bury Tomorrow stated recently via their Twitter account that their new record is ‘80% written’ and that studio time is booked for late October to record the follow up to Union Of Crowns.
Support for their UK Tour includes Feed The Rhino, Heart In Hand and Empress.
