Ahead of their Absolved In Perdition tour of Australia in May, Kiwi technical death metal outfit Ulcerate have unveiled the local supports for each show.

Touring off the back of their 2024 record Cutting the Throat of God, Ulcerate will perform three shows in New Zealand with support from death metal kings Vicissitude before playing four shows in Oz with The Amenta and a slew of local acts.

Adelaide metalheads will be treated to the black metal delights of Lumen Ad Mortem; Melbourne punters can experience Munt; Sydney gets death metal fiends Sorathian Dawn; and Brisbane crowds will be serenaded by extreme metal collective Hebephrenique.

Ulcerate’s tour begins with three shows in New Zealand at Christchurch’s Loons on Saturday 18 April, Auckland’s Double Whammy on Saturday 25 April and Wellington’s San Fran on Saturday 2 May.

Making their way to Australia, Ulcerate perform at Adelaide’s Ed Castle on Thursday 7 May, Melbourne’s Max Watts on Friday 8 May, Sydney’s Crowbar on Saturday 9 May and Brisbane’s Crowbar on Sunday 10 May.

The brainchild of guitarist Michael Hoggard and drummer Jamie Saint Merat, Ulcerate have carved a path of destruction through New Zealand’s death metal scene for over 25 years.

The Kiwi-based trio, who are often compared to Gorguts, Neurosis and Portal, have released seven studio albums and toured widely across North America and Europe.

Fans heading along can expect to hear songs from their latest record, Cutting the Throat of God, along with material from their back catalogue.

Catch Ulcerate performing at Ed Castle on Thursday 7 May. Tickets on sale now at moshtix.com.au.
