Southern California’s Spite, the decibel-and-soul-crushing deathcore unit, will return to Australia in April 2026 for their first-ever Australian headline tour, bringing with them Pennsylvania’s Varials and local heavyweights DIESECT.

In recent years, Spite have risen to the forefront of modern heavy music, building a reputation as one of the most formidable forces in the genre. Since their 2017 debut Nothing Is Beautiful, which drew comparisons to Thy Art Is Murder, The Acacia Strain and Suicide Silence, Spite have consistently pushed and pulled at the boundaries of metalcore, nu metal and deathcore.

With 2019's The Root of All Evil, and their 2022 album Dedication to Flesh, which landed at #14 on the Billboard Heatseekers Chart, Spite cemented their place among metal's finest.

Now, the band are entering the next cycle as they announce their impending new album, New World Killer, will arrive Friday 31st October via Rise Records, led by the violent new single “LIGHTS OUT”, which sent the metal community into a frenzy after three long years of anticipation.

Joining Spite on their Australian lap is mosh-metal band Varials, who seamlessly alternate between moments of crushing power and melodic poise, unlocking harmony in the middle of opposite poles. They’ve carefully cultivated this sound over the years, attracting a devout fanbase with 2017's Pain Again, 2019's In Darkness and their latest, Scars For You To Remember, out in 2022 via Fearless Records.
