Playing ANGELMAKER To SYLOSIS On Aussie Tour With KRYS & NATHANIEL SMITH From LUNE

Opening for any major international touring band is a daunting task, but when you face the prospect of opening for two heavyweights of the metal scene in Sylosis and Angelmaker, that task becomes almost impossible.
But don't mention that to rising Australian metalcore outfit Lune, who will be doing just that when the Australian tour kicks off in Perth on February 11. Not that they won't agree with you, it's more that the band already know and are more than ready for the challenge.
HEAVY caught up with founding members and brothers Nathaniel (vocals) and Krys Smith (guitar) to find out more.
"I'm particularly nervous," Krys began, "because Sylosis are one of those bands that I found when I was formative with my guitar playing. I remember watching a video with Josh (Middleton) teaching how to sweep, and I was just learning to play guitar at the time. So it's pretty hectic for me to be playing shows with that guy. I'm super keen. Just in the process of putting a set together and making sure the nuts and bolts are nice and tight. Very, very excited."
In the full interview, the band spoke more about the honour of playing with bands they grew up listening to and the challenges of putting on the best show possible. They elaborated on their touring strategy, focusing on musical perfection and creating a positive environment for all involved, highlighting the importance of tailoring their set list to resonate with audiences while maintaining high energy during performances.We went deeper into a Lune live performance and what to expect, the reception for previous album The Change Around Us And The Change In You, new music and more.
