OCEANIC ANNIHILATION - Australia / New Zealand Tour 2010

HUMAN
Based in Christchurch, New Zealand Human has the unique distinction of being one of the longest serving metal acts in New Zealand history. Now celebrating their 18th year in sonic punishment the four piece group have played hundreds of shows, appeared on live national television (no less than three times) and have released nearly a dozen recordings - all of this achieved with the same do-it-yourself approach that fueled the bands' humble beginnings in a one room inner city bed-sit in March 1992. Human have also had the privilege of sharing stages with some of the world biggest metal acts including Dragonforce, Suffocation and Cannibal Corpse.
 
The band's latest album 'Cadaver Academy' has managed to capture Human in top form. Twelve tracks of ferocious guitar riffing, blazingly fast drums, guttural bass lines and 4 ranges of death metal vocals all working to great effect. Added to the mix is the bands now infamous tongue in cheek humour on tracks like "Roid Rage," "Centrifugal Skin Removal" and "Anal Devastation" which features samples by none other than Bob Saget (!).
 
The Oceanic Annihilation tour will see Human performing in Australian territory for the first time ever. Guitarist / vokiller Scott Spatcher-Harrison states: "This is the kind of tour we've wanted to do for a long, long time. We can't wait for our metal brethren (and sisteren) throughout Australia to come and check out what we can do live. Human plays fast and tight, and we're keen to see if the Aussies can keep up with us!"

DEFAMER
Joining Human are Australian death metal quintet DEFAMER.  Hailing from Brisbane, DEFAMER have had a stellar run in the past year with their debut album "Chasm" selling out (now in second pressing), multiple tours and supporting great names like Cannibal Corpse, Krisiun and Destroyer666/Rotting Christ/MalevolentCreation/DarkFuneral and many more at the first Screamfest.

This tour will mark the release of their first vinyl in the form of a 7" split with Sydney metallers ROOKWOOD and their first journey overseas, showcasing songs from both "Chasm" and unreleased tracks from an upcoming second album.  DEFAMER can't wait to bring their crushing old school death metal sound back to the stage, and to do it in fine company.
