From Philadelphia - Blacklisted

It's rare that hardcore bands visit our shores, let alone one at the top of their game. In four years, BLACKLISTED has shaken the international hardcore scene, and now sits at the top with bands such as MADBALL, TERROR & HATEBREED.

This will be BLACKLISTED first venture to the southern hemisphere, touring their latest release Heavier Than Heaven, Lonelier Than God - recorded by CONVERGE'S 'Kurt Ballou' (their 3rd full length).

Being described as their most dynamic release to date, it carries a psychological darkness merely hinted at in their previous releases, diving head first into the jaws of their introspective abyss.

New Zealand will see a band that has matured incredibly over the last four years, with songs that possess the ability to haunt listeners for a lifetime; this band has distanced themselves far from the rest of the hardcore pack.

Defining themselves a sound and reputation as one of the only true lone-wolves of their hardcore generation. This short run of shows in intimate venues will be something to be remembered.
