HARTS JOINS SOFT HELL AUSTRALIAN TOUR

We're super excited to announce that the incredible HARTS will be joining us on our Australian shows later this month.

This dude has the groove in spades and we're grateful to him and his band for stepping in at short notice to join the tour. We've got some absolute shredders on this tour, the lineup is stacked.

There's just 3 weeks to go until the tour gets rolling and we also want to mention that it's going to be our last ever show at The Zoo in Brisbane. The venue will be closing this July after 32 years of iconic Brisbane shows. Please make sure you get down to this one to help send it off with us.

Thanks for sticking with us over the past 9 years and more. We're working hard to make these the best Closure shows ever and hopefully there's much more to come.

Tickets on sale now.

THE DEAR HUNTER WITHDRAW FROM AUSTRALIAN SHOWS

Unfortunately we have some sad news to share from our friends The Dear Hunter, please read their statement below:

“Hello everyone,

To get straight to the point, we unfortunately have to cancel our upcoming Australian and New Zealand run. One of our band members has received some serious medical news that will prevent them from traveling out of the country at this time. We ask for your understanding and respect for their privacy, with no further speculation or questions at this moment.

We have been eager to return to Australia for several years. The amazing members of Closure In Moscow graciously invited us over, and we have been looking forward to this tour for months. 

All dates with Closure In Moscow will continue without us. We strongly encourage our fans to attend these shows, and support them!

If you can no longer attend the scheduled Australian dates, you can request a refund by emailing mike@birdsrobe.com 

The New Zealand shows will automatically be refunded to your account. No further action needed. 

While we are disappointed, we are also staying optimistic about our future. We're working hard on new music, a documentary film, and touring plans for later this year. As we adapt to what may be a new normal, our commitment to live shows remains unwavering.

These performances have always been a source of healing and motivation for us, and we're hoping this motivation will foster a positive outlook for future dates.

Any future shows are likely to be in the USA to ensure easy access to healthcare and support for our band member. This adjustment is not permanent, but necessary at this time.

We promise The Dear Hunter will return to Australia and New Zealand. We appreciate your support and understanding during this period.

Thank you.”

Please send them your very best wishes. We will absolutely try to put things together with them again in future.

For everyone who has bought tickets to these shows, please see the notes below from our promoter/manager Bird's Robe:

“We are sad to announce The Dear Hunter will no longer be able to perform their scheduled shows in Australia and New Zealand. Please see their statement for further details.

The Closure in Moscow “Soft Hell” headline tour will be going ahead with Toehider as support.

We will be announcing an additional replacement support act next week.

Refunds will be available to anyone who bought tickets just to see TDH and don't want to come to the show anymore (it's OK, we understand) - just contact mike@birdsrobe.com with your proof of purchase.

Due to the costs associated with the lineup changes, we will be increasing the ticket price by $5 starting from May 23rd. So if you've been planning to see Closure on this tour, there's another 2 weeks to go to pick up a ticket at the current price before it goes up.

We look forward to welcoming The Dear Hunter back to Australia and New Zealand in future when circumstances improve. We've waited 11 years so far, we can wait another little while. Health, family and the wellbeing of artists is always our primary concern and we wish them all the best for a speedy recovery.”

Thanks everyone - can't wait to play for you all again.

‘Better way’ us radio play!

In news that continues to bewilder us all… ‘Better Way’ is enjoying a bit of traction at US Radio!

So far WARY in Valhalla, NY, CJUM in Winnipeg, MB, WRKC in Wilkes-Barre, PA, KGAR in Lemoore, CA, The Foundry in Clovis, CA, WVBR in Ithaca, NY, WTSQ in Charleston, WV, and The Metal Authority in Grand Junction, CO have ‘added’ the track.

If you happen to listen to any of these stations and are the kind of person that calls/texts in, and you’re reading this (how small is the Venn Diagram segment, we wonder?!)… consider letting them know that it is in fact ‘very good’ and they should ‘continue to play “Better Way by Closure in Moscow…”’

Thanks again to all of you for your immense support with this new album! It means the world. <3

‘SOFT HELL’ AUSTRALIAN CHART DEBUTS!

#1 AIR 100% Independent Chart
#3 AIR Independent Chart
#6 ARIA Australian Albums Chart
#79 ARIA Albums Chart 

We spent years on this record, through a lot of massive highs and crushing lows, not really knowing what the response would be when it finally saw the light of day, sometimes wondering if it ever even would. This is just wild. Thanks you from the bottom of our hearts for believing in it with us and showing the love to this level!

NEW ALBUM ‘SOFT HELL’ OUT NOW!

It’s finally here!

‘Soft Hell’ is finally here!

The last 9 years distilled down to 50 minutes.

The wait will have been worth it.

AUSTRALIAN TOUR DATES WITH DEAFHEAVEN - MAY/JUNE 2023

We’re playing shows again! All dates & details over at the shows tab.

NEW SINGLE & VIDEO FOR ‘BETTER WAY’

This is the first song that our producer Andrei serendipitously hear the demo of in a livestream, leading to a meet up and kicking off the entire production process, so it feels completely fitting to have it be the first taste people get of the album. It’s also the song that feels most like a return to the songwriting sensibilities of our early work, while still reflecting how the band has evolved.
 

Thank you to everyone who has been patiently waiting for new music. Plenty more to come.

NEW ALBUM ‘SOFT HELL’ PRE-ORDERS & TRACKLIST

It’s finally here for you to preorder, the last 9 years distilled down to 50 minutes. We’ve put blood, sweat and years into this, and fully believe when you hear these tracks, the wait will have been worth it. We know you have to take our word on that for the time being, but the wait is almost over.

The new album is called “Soft Hell.”

Getting comfortable with chronic discomfort caused by the choices that fears and trauma lead you to make. This is life in a soft hell. There are enough distractions to stave off facing up to it, you can keep yourself in denial to avoid it, and things can just keep ticking along. Life becomes a fever dream of creature comforts and time killers, floating further into a lake of fire. People come along to pull you out, but they too get burned when you feel too stuck to climb with them.

Better Way will be the first single from the album. You can listen to it across all platforms on March 10th.

Thank you to everyone who has been patiently waiting for new music. Everyone involved with working on this went so above and beyond because they believed in it, and we hope you hear what they heard too.

VINYL FOR FIRST TEMPLE, THE PENANCE AND THE PATIENCE & PINK LEMONADE

It’s all pretty much sold out thanks to you legends! First Temple & The Penance and The Patience are due to arrive in the next couple of weeks so we can start shipping them out. Pink Lemonade repressings are going to take a couple more months, because there was an audio error on the test pressing that needed to be fixed. Worldwide delays of vinyl supply chains just mean that this takes longer than usual. It’ll be worth the wait. Thanks for all your patience and support yet again.

We’ve got a stack of new merch available on our Bandcamp page over here as well as the merch tab to your left
