The Red Shore signs with Australian branch of Roadrunner Records
Australian extreme metallers The Red Shore have inked a deal with the Australian branch of Roadrunner Records. After the critical acclaim and success of The Red Shore's 2008 masterpiece "Unconsecrated" and numerous tours both in Australia and internationally the band is primed to take its craft to the next level under this new partnership.
"Unconsecrated" was recorded under tragic circumstances after the loss of original vocalist Damien Morris and crew member Andy Milner in a tour bus accident in late 2007. However, the band was able to regroup and complete Damien's vision for the album. Bassist Jamie Hope took over vocal duties on the remaining tracks and also completed lyrics to bring to life the theme that Damien had started.
The Red Shore toured nationwide in support of "Unconsecrated" with Bring Me The Horizon and I Killed The Prom Queen and solidified its position among Australia's most prominent metal and hardcore bands.
In May 2009 "Lost Verses" was released as a tribute to The Red Shore's fallen brothers and also as a keepsake for their fans. The album featured re-recordings of the early tracks which helped established them as a pioneering force within the Australian heavy music scene.
With a solid lineup now in place consisting of Roman Koester (guitar), Jon Green (bass), Jason Leombruni (guitar), Tim Shearman (drums) and new vocalist Chase Butler, The Red Shore is revitalized and commited to delivering an album of epic proportions in terms of sheer heaviness, musical prowess and unchartered waters.
