Following the release of their debut EP The Age of Kings Wellington's Fallen Order are heading out on the road this October to deliver their version of traditional heavy metal to the nation the traditional way - live and loud.
"This tour has been in the pipeline for quite some time" explains guitarist Ben Jays. The EP was released back in February but with winter closing in the band decided to put the tour off for a few months. "We've had a really great response to The Age of Kings both in New Zealand and abroad but now we're itching to get back out there and play the songs live - the way they are supposed to be played" he explains.
The EP has received critical acclaim from many reviewers around the globe describing it as “Fresh, powerful, with great guitar riffs and intense melodies” showcasing “…how metal was played in a time where quality mattered…” Fallen Order has also been described as “a very talented band that… can guarantee you many hours of quality listening and head banging” something that the band is excited about sharing with audiences during the six date tour this October.
“The tour kicks off on October 10 in Napier followed by dates in Hamilton and Auckland the next weekend” explains guitarist Kieran Gallagher. “We’ll then be closing out the tour with three shows on labour weekend. This will include our first ever south island gigs in Dunedin and Christchurch with the last show being in Wellington.”
