In addition to the Australian tour, the band have also announced a new appearance in Sydney, wherein they will joining MARDUK, GORGUTS, MGLA, and ULCERATE as part of Direct Underground Fest.

Regarding the tour, DÉPARTE comment: "After more than a year since our last live performance, we are set to tour Australia this Spring in support of our debut album, 'Failure, Subside'. The stage is where we feel the most at home, where we can truly express ourselves and create a deeply engaging, visceral experience for our audience. To say we are excited about this would be an understatement."

DÉPARTE are touring in support of their recently-released debut, 'Failure, Subside'. The album, an imposing, deeply moving and crushing take on atmospheric extreme metal hailed as "the grim pull of despair grabbing your heart and tearing it out over and over" (Metal Injection) is streaming now at Invisible Oranges, alongside exclusive track-by-track commentary from the band.

DÉPARTE (Sam Dishington, guitar & vocals, Michael Rankine, drums, Mitchell Golding, guitar
Jarrod Sorbian, bass ) was formed in 2011 as a 4 piece with the intention to create dark, brooding atmospheric black metal with a focus on intense, hypnotic live performances. As the band developed with the addition of a second guitarist, DÉPARTE began to stray from more traditional black metal ethos, shedding the face paint and incorporating elements from various other genres, such as post-metal, drone, doom and death metal. The new influences resulted in unique, emotive and truly powerful songwriting.

In their relatively short career thus far, DÉPARTE have already shared the stage with acclaimed international artists such as GORGUTS, ULCERATE, WORMED, PORTAL, NE OBLIVISCARIS and more, solely on the back of their first official demo released in November 2014. DÉPARTE's official demo, titled 'demo [MMXIV]' is streaming now at the DÉPARTE bandcamp page.
