Daysend Confirm Tour With OTEP

Aussie metallers Daysend have confirmed their addition to a US tour with Otep, Gizmachi, and DevilInside. This will be the bands first ever US tour so please make sure you check them out! More dates will be coming in if you don't see the tour coming to your town.

Here is what bass player Meredith has to say about the upcoming tour: "After traveling up and down the highways of Australia for the last couple of years, we are stoked to have the opportunity to hit America and show you guys what we are all about. It's what we have always wanted to do, what we were built for! Van ass, here we come!"

"Grab an earful of lightning-fast lead work, jarring chromatic flourishes, and relentless riffage on the bands debut album Severance." Guitar Player

"Daysend have that 'heavy with melody' thing down to a science." CMJ

"Mixing Swedish-style neo-thrashery and prog-style guitar noodling with stomping grooves and melodies reminiscent of Faith No More circa-Angel Dust, they certainly stand out from the crowd. Compared to the hordes of faceless In Flames/Arch Enemy clones chucked your way on a monthly basis, vocalist Simon Calabrese can actually sing as well as growl. This way, Daysend are equipped to satisfy both fans of crossover metalcore's new school as well as those who've always enjoyed n? metal, either as a guilty pleasure, or... as a pleasure without the guilt. Ahem." Lollipop Magazine

"Daysend play fast, melodic metal with a combination of harsh/clean vocals and some very memorable choruses. If you want to hear a less hardcore version of Killswitch Engage with a bit of Soilwork added, then check out Daysend." Snaggletooth Magazine

"Newcomers DAYSEND offer the best of Metalcore and Melodic Metal. The music contained within is both smooth and harsh. Simon's voice on "Born Is The Enemy" is soft, clean and catchy and at the flick of the switch he can be one mean motherfucker like Howard Jones of KILLSWITCH ENGAGE fame...This is nothing short of a strong debut." MetalObserver

"I'm such a fan of originality in music that I'm not easily impressed. Given that, I never thought I'd hear any 5 star worthy bands. Daysend is an Aussie import that has come out of the chute screaming, so to speak, with a stunning debut album that raises the bar on the the metal scene. Daysend demonstrates on this album that they possess skills, originality, and a comfort with each other & the material that some, more experienced bands, lack." 5 out of 5 on RockNWorld

"Combing thrash, melodic death, a bit of metalcore and some good old hard rock, SEVERANCE is a stunning debut from Daysend. The Aussie press have already heaped praise and awards upon this release and it's time to make another notch in the bedpost from Metal-Rules.com, too." Metal-Rules
