Comments vocalist Karl Middleton, “Getting to play the songs from our new album live (as well as some old favs) is an absolute joy. So as a Christmas present to ourselves we are hitting the road in December. The Nottingham show probably qualifies as some kind of hometown event, (despite the fact that none of us have lived there for 20 years). And the last time we played in Leeds it was Damnation 2010!!! Add in the ‘life-goal-achieved’ of supporting Helmet, and these shows look set to be absolute mayhem. We. Cannot. Wait!”

Middle Eastern prog doom metallers Lowen are ready to bring their unique sound to the stage as they support earthtone9 in both Nottingham and Leeds. Get ready for an unforgettable fusion of heavy riffs and atmospheric depth.

“We all LOVE Lowen,” says guitarist Joe Roberts. “Such a massive sound and Nina Saeidi‘s vocals are beyond epic. It’s a real treat for us to have them on these shows.”

earthtone9 are celebrated by those in the know as one of the most innovative, intelligent, and creatively astute bands in the annals of British metal history. Rising to prominence in the late ’90s amidst the burgeoning nu-metal scene, their sophisticated musicality and cerebral approach set them apart as a truly unique and groundbreaking force from the outset. Releasing an album annually between 1998 and 2000, starting with the meticulously crafted debut, Lo-def(inition) Discord, and culminating in the monumental Arc’tan’gent in 2000 – their prolific output matched the sheer brilliance of their music.

After splitting in 2002 the band made a surprise return in 2013 with the crowdfunded album, IV. Following this they made only occasional appearances in the live arena (including at the ArcTanGent Festival, which purloined its name from their third album!), before once again seeming to disappear on hiatus.

Now, 11 years on from their last record, they present In Resonance Nexus, a thrilling work of brains and muscle that not only stokes a fire, but sees the band’s core members – vocalist Karl Middleton and guitarists Owen Packard and Joe Roberts – rediscovering and reconnecting with what makes them so special. More than anything, In Resonance Nexus represents the idea that some things are just too good and too special to lie perpetually dormant. With something as pure as earthtone9, that desire to create never truly leaves you. Eventually, even after a decade or more, it wants to come out again.
