Ave Pangenitor 2024 NZ Tour
Zerstiren formed in Christchurch, New Zealand in 2007 out of a discordant blend of jarring influences and disparate elements. Somehow the Whole transcended the sum of the parts; the result was a dynamic mix of melody, discord, crushing brutality and blistering technicality.
Core members Shane Mulholland and Chris Lewis on guitars, and Frederick Bain on vocals were joined by a rotating cast of supporting members that achieved a lot in a short time, multiple local and national shows, headlining tours and supporting the best of the best, all culminating in the release of AVE PANGENITOR, a 52 minute opus of progressive death metal that achieved accolades far beyond expectations.
Unfortunately the realities and mundane drudgery of life caused the implosion of the band in 2011 and the band scattered to the wind.
Thirteen years later the tides have shifted, and with all core members now living in the same city. Joined by Rich Hebden on bass, the stage is set to revisit the music and see whether the fire still burns.
Joined in sonic service by seasoned contemporaries, Pull Down the Sun have toured New Zealand and Australia for their 'Pierce the Sea' tour, in preparation for their upcoming single release. Coming off a recent tour with The Ocean, these boys are ready to prove yet again that they are one of NZ’s best and most promising acts in the current metal sphere.
