Melbourne’s Starve are excited to announce a headline national tour kicking off this September after spending most of last year locked in the studio recording their debut album, Life’s Promise Dies.

Dropping last month, Life’s Promise Dies is 22 minutes of blistering metal mayhem that will melt your face and leave you lying in a puddle of goo.

Starve’s ‘Life Promise Dies’ tour begins in Brisbane at The Brightside on Friday, September 13. The band then plays Chippo Hotel in Sydney on Saturday, September 14 and Crown & Anchor in Adelaide on Friday, September 20, before the final hometown show in Melbourne at Rev’s Bandroom on Saturday, September 21.

Joining Starve on their four-date tour are Queensland metalcore lads Diesect and rising South Aussie metal act Outsider.

Tickets for all four shows are on sale now via Starve’s website.

Starve has been out there getting it done for over half a decade now, with Jordan Dunbar (vocals), Alessio Valentini-Marano (guitar, vocals), Ewan Gordan (bass) and Darcy Carroll (drums) first causing a stir in the local scene with their EPs Mantis (2019) and Nausea (2021).

Life’s Promise Dies, Starve’s long-awaited first album, has been widely praised, with Wall of Sound’s Ricky Aarons calling it “a flawless record.”

Having supported the likes of Kublai Khan TX, Make Them Suffer and Thy Art Is Murder, Starve is ready to unleash their brutal brand of metalcore on local audiences this September as part of the ‘Life’s Promise Dies’ tour.

Catch Starve at Crown & Anchor on Friday, September 20. Tickets on sale now via Moshtix.
