Gold Coast rockers Mourning Tide began in 2000, as four friends with the same vision: to be the most entertaining and unique band in the emerging hardcore/metal scene. Touring hard and partying harder has earned them a strong local following on the East Coast.
In 2003 Mourning Tide released their successful self-titled debut EP, through Modern Music/Sony /BMG. From this success, Mourning Tide have supported and toured with international guests - Eighteen Visions, Every Time I Die, Strung Out, Soilwork, Throwdown, On Broken Wings, Cro Mags and hometown boys - Parkway Drive, I Killed the Prom Queen, and After The Fall.
Although Mourning Tide has been through a major line-up change within the last year, the change has been welcomed, inspiring the members to take on a new direction with their material.
This August, Mourning Tide will deliver their highly anticipated debut full-length entitled, Trash 'N' Burn. Trash 'N' Burn is an explosive album, fusing brutality, glamour & sleazy rock. While maintaining the ferocious and intense metal sound of their self-titled EP, the new album sees a triumphant return to early 80's rock n roll, complete with wailing guitar solos and dirty rock vocals.
With a loyal fan base continuing to grow Australia-wide and a reputation for their blistering live shows, Mourning Tide have produced a mind-blowing LP, that will dazzle their current fans and excite new listeners looking for something out of the ordinary.
Mourning Tide's debut full-length, TRASH 'N' BURN, will be available in stores August 5, 2006 released through Modern Music/The Red Label/Sony/BMG.
