Greetings, see below for some photos and footage from the recent Voros tour in Taiwan and China. We had an absolute blast and can’t wait to go back! Check out the Voros Facebook page for more photos and footage. *Click the below photo to go to the next photo in the gallery.

I’m happy to announce that I will be playing with Sydney based progressive metal guitarist James Norbert Ivanyi and his band on the 23rd of September in Sydney as part of the Circles Egression Tour. I’ve been a fan of James’ music for the past couple of years now so it’s great to be given the opportunity to tackle this very challenging music!

I’ve got some big shoes to fill with this gig, with Rob Brens (Alarum, Hadal Maw) having played the past live shows with James as well as the Melbourne leg of this tour. Drums on James’ three releases were recorded by David Horgan (Orobouros), whose drum parts display a mastery of metal drumming as well as more fusion-oriented playing.

Check out James' releases here.

Speaking of instrumental guitar virtuoso’s, Dyssidia will be supporting Plini once again at Fowlers Live on the 9th of September. Fresh off massive tours in Europe & North America with Animals as Leaders & Intervals, Plini and his band have brought Intervals (US) along for the ride this time.

Then, the day after on the 10th of September I will be playing with my old band Double Dragon at the New Dead Festival along with King Parrot, Ruins, Disentomb, Truth Corroded and many more. To celebrate the 10 year anniversary of ‘Scars of Fire’, we will be playing the EP in full along with a couple of other DD classics. It’s sure to be a huge day as the New Dead Festival has grown to be one of the biggest heavy music festivals in Australia, with many punters from interstate planning to make the trek to Adelaide for the occasion.
