Press release:

Aotearoa are you up for some quirky slams Within Destruction and Signs of The Swarm are the first metal bands to hit our shores in this new age!

Expanding from their slamming deathcore roots, Within Destruction have crafted one of the most diverse deathcore sounds in recent history. Their latest album, Yōkai, uses a unique combination of urban, Japanese, hip-hop and metal cultures along with countless moments of barbaric, slam-tinted brutality.
