Roadrunner Records Australia has announced the signing of Aussie extreme metallers THE RED SHORE.

According to the label:

After the critical acclaim and success of their 2008 masterpiece Unconsecrated and numerous tours both here and internationally, the band are primed to take their craft to the next level under this new partnership.

Unconsecrated was recorded under tragic circumstances after the loss of original vocalist Damien Morris and crew member Andy Milner in a tour bus accident in late 2007, however the band were able to regroup and complete Damien’s vision for the album.

Bassist Jamie Hope took over vocal duties on the remaining tracks and also completed lyrics to bring to life the theme that Damien had started. The band toured nationwide in support of Unconsecrated with BRING ME THE HORIZON and I KILLED THE PROM QUEEN and solidified their position among Australia’s most prominent metal and hardcore bands.

In May 2009 Lost Verses was released as a tribute to their fallen brothers and also as a keep sake for their fans, the album featured re-recordings of the early tracks which helped established them as a pioneering force within the Australian heavy music scene.

With a solid line up now in place consisting of Roman Koester (guitar), Jon Green (bass), Jason Leombruni (guitar), Tim Shearman (drums) and new vocalist Chase Butler the band are revitalised and commited to delivering an album of epic proportions in terms of sheer heaviness, musical prowess and unchartered waters.

Roadrunner Records Australia are proud to align themselves with one of Australia’s most unique, passionate and talented bands.
