“Bringing a modern, aggressive approach to death metal, Palmerston North based Depths have been making their mark on the New Zealand heavy music scene since their inception with their crushing sound and passionate, pulverizing live performance instantly showing the nation that they are an unnerving force to be reckoned with.

After countless tours up and down the country, supporting numerous international acts including Psycroptic, We Came As Romans, Cruel Hand, Northlane, and Dream On Dreamer, they proved their position as one of New Zealand's hardest working metal acts and were signed by Deadboy Records at the end of 2011.

Shortly after, the band re-released their mini album ‘Resurgence’ with a bonus music video for the devastating track ‘Of Nothing’ which went on to be featured on national television as well as appearing on the soundtrack to the FMX JAM 2 DVD which was released with 40,000 copies of Crusty Demons’ own Crusty Magazine.

Early 2012 saw a brand new single ‘Illumination’ hit the number 1 spot on the iTunes metal chart and also sit on the top 10 Rock chart upon it’s release continuing to generate more hype and interest in the band in the realm of modern metal.

This October marks the release of the highly anticipated studio album ‘Revelation’ which is a step forward for the band in every direction, bringing even more brutality and intensity to their mammoth sound.

Having already chalked up an impressive summer schedule including a headlining album release tour of New Zealand, trans-tasman dates marking their first Australian visit as well as dates supporting legendary USA act Between The Buried And Me and also Australian heroes Parkway Drive and I Killed The Prom Queen, Depths are showing no sign of slowing down any time soon... This is definitely the heavy breakthrough act to keep your eyes on. "
