Half Me Announce New Album 'Dogma' Ahead of Australian Tour

Ahead of their highly anticipated headline tour of Australia this October and November, German metalcore brutes Half Me have announced the release of their sophomore album, Dogma, out Friday 23 October via Arising Empire.

This marks the band's most ambitious project, with the album exploring a world shaped by fear, manipulated through division and consumed by distractions that keep people from questioning the systems surrounding them.

Half Me are pushing their sound even further on Dogma, bringing hardcore and metalcore together to deliver some of their heaviest and darkest material yet.

The quartet have recently shared the album's latest single, 'Fear Is The New Belief', an aggresive metalcore punch sure to have the circle pit going off.

Touring Australia with Aussie outfit Diesect, Perth’s metalcore quartet Darkmatter and Western Sydney deathcore fiends Kids Cultists, Half Me kick things off at Perth's Amplifier Bar on Thursday 22 October.

The tour than stops by Adelaide’s Ed Castle (Friday 23 October) before hitting Hobart’s The Grand Poobah (Saturday 24 October), Melbourne’s The Leadbeater Hotel (Sunday 25 October), Canberra’s Fun Time Pony (Wednesday 28 October), Wollongong’s La La La’s (Thursday 29 October) and Sydney’s Crowbar (Friday 30 October), coming to an end on Sunday 1 November at Crowbar in Brisbane.
