Music News - NZ band Metaract announce Skid Row support
01 October 2018 - 0 Comments
Auckland metal band Metaract is thrilled to support multi-platinum selling US hard rockers Skid Row for one show only in New Zealand on 25 October 2018, at The Studio, Auckland.
The show comes hot on the heels of Metaract’s latest single, Never Forget, which has been gaining attention and radio play nationwide. Metaract is known for delivering a breathtaking, high energy live show and anticipation is building for this event for several reasons.
“Skid Row has been a big influence for all of us, and getting to share the stage with your rock ‘n’ roll heroes is amazing,” says Metaract vocalist Chris Yong.
It will also be the first time Kiwi fans get to see former Dragonforce singer ZP Theart front Skid Row, alongside guitarists Snake Sabo and Scotti Hill, bassist Rachel Bolan and drummer Rob Hammersmith. The New Jersey hard rockers formed in 1987, and went stratospheric with their debut album Skid Row, which included mega-hits 18 and Life, Youth Gone Wild, and I Remember You.
The one-off Auckland concert is part of the Australasian leg of Skid Row’s United World Rebellion 2018 tour.Completing the show’s support line-up alongside Metaract, is Auckland rock band Silence The City, who released their debut album Resilience last year.
Metaract fuses multiple styles from hard rock to thrash metal, with familiar faces from the kiwi rock/metal scene. Along with Chris Yong (Tadpole, Redline, Static Era), the band is rounded out by guitarist Sharne Scarborough (Just One Fix), bassist Victor Pesch (Static Era), and drummer Clayton Gould (Molotov, State of It).
Carving out their own unique path while paying tribute to all eras of metal, Metaract’s sound is as heavy as it is catchy. “We’re a fusion of all the best parts of our favourite bands.” Metaract’s ferocious, high energy live show keeps both the band and the crowd on their toes with dual shred fests, stomping bass, double kicks and goofball smiles.
