Buried In Verona Announce Break Up & Final Tour

All bands have to stop at some point, and after almost ten years in the local scene, Sydney's Buried In Verona are at that point in their career.

Come this October, Killyourstereo.com & Destroy All Lines will present the final headline tour for this metalcore quintet. There have been plenty of high points for the band ('Notorious' and 'Vultures Above, Lions Below' are the definite standouts) and there have definitely been some low points ('Faceless'. Come on, we all know it), but love them or hate them, it's been a hell of a ride for the band and their fans.

In a press release sent out earlier today, a statement from the band's frontman, Brett Anderson, reads:

"Most people in the heavy music scene, as much as they dread the thought, know that one day this moment will come. The moment most bands have to go through. The moment is the end. The last tour, last album and it feels just as bad as I always knew it would.

After nearly a decade of living, for the most part, something I always dreamed of doing, it's now time for the end and one last tour.

I want to thank everyone who supported Buried In Verona over the years, whether it was for one album or all five, thank you from the bottom of my heart for listening to our music. It's the best thing I've ever achieved.

To the people who wrote to us saying our music touched you, saved you or helped you in anyway, know that your messages and kind words did more to us that our music did to you, truly honoured that some of you thought about BIV in that amazing way. You guys allowed us to see and do some incredible things around the world and we can never repay you so thank you, thank you, thank you.

This is not the end of music for me as I'll be continuing with my side project, Don't Die Like I Did, but I do have to close the chapter of my life that is Buried In Verona.

See you all one last time,

Love all the BIV family." 

Of course, the band won't be alone on this tour. In support of Buried In Verona's final run, fellow Aussie outfit, Capture The Crown will be the main support, as well as scene newcomers Foxblood & Arkive at select dates on the tour.

Speaking of which, check out the full tour dates and info below. Tickets are on sale now through Destroy All Lines, and considering that this tour will most likely see a lot of older cuts from BIV, I have a feeling that these tickets may sell pretty quickly.

Also, just because I think it's easily the best fucking song this band ever had to their name, here's 'The Descent' for your listening pleasure. It's sick, cheers.
