The Word Alive truly made their impact in 2009 when they released their debut EP ‘Empire’, which sold more than 20,000 copies and spent time on Billboard’s Heatseekers chart. Quickly winning over listeners with its scorching musicianship and singer Tyler “Telle” Smith’s hyperkinetic vocals, the EP set the stage for an even deeper, more innovative full-length to follow. That came in the form of ‘Deceiver’, a challenging, genre-bending opus that fully showcases the considerable abilities of one of heavy music’s true rising talents. The group kept the road ever-present in mind when writing much of the album, knowing that massive touring would be in the immediate future. Their intense touring schedule in support of the album has included a summer run on Warped Tour 2010, as well as tours with Bleeding Through, A Day To Remember and Underoath.
September 2011 sees both of these increasingly valid and popular genre exponents arrive in New Zealand for the first time. Taking in an all ages show at Auckland’s Studio, and an over 18’s club show the following night in the beautiful setting of Queenstown, New Zealand’s adventure capital, this will be the flat out fun times tour of the New Zealand spring.
