New Zealand sludge/psych metal heavy-weights BEASTWARS return to Australia this November for their first East Coast tour since February 2020, lining up for one off shows on the Gold Coast, Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne. Like bearing witness to a world sliding headlong into the abyss, Beastwars are no strangers to soundtracking times of war, disaster, and collapse – when half-truths and hidden agendas lurk behind every act of the world’s eroding empires. From the very beginning, their music has embodied the apocalyptic feeling of these end times: primal, hypnotic, and relentlessly heavy. The Southern hemisphere kings of apocalyptic metal rise again for their soon-to-be-released sixth studio album The Ship // The Sea, launching some fourteen years after their 2011 debut. The world has only grown harsher and Beastwars’ upcoming full lenth distils that same darkness  into one of the most intense and cathartic albums of their career. Mute the endless stream of calamities on your screen and you’ll find Beastwars’ heavy howls creating an eerily apocalyptic soundtrack for the present day. Beastwars have performed at The Big Day Out, Dead of Winter Festival and CherryRock and have shared stages with the likes of Mastodon, Kyuss Lives, Red Fang, High on Fire, The Melvins, Fu Manchu, Unida, Truckfighters and many more over a truly stellar career. "To describe Beastwars live show in any certain terms would be doing them an injustice, as it is an experience that needs to be lived out to fully appreciate it." TONE DEAF "The level of power projected by Beastwars was unfathomable... something you’d expect from an encore-demanding stadium crowd." BEAT MAGAZINE Beastwars' The Ship // The Sea full length is released Nov 07 2025 via Destroy Records with lead single Levitate dropping Aug 29. Tour supports to be announced. Secure your tickets now.
