Aversions Crown guitarist, Mick Jeffery joins WALL OF SOUND today as we continue our search for the 'Best of Album' and more of 2015. The band enjoyed another massive year, kicking off the new year with a new music video, 'Avalanches'. From there, the band enjoyed time on the 2015 'UNIFY' stage before heading off to Europe for an extensive gig list. Just prior to all this the band suprisingly switched vocalists, with Mark Poida now in charge of the microphone. In March the band supported Psycroptic and Goatwhore on their Australian tour and later Attila in April.
Another run of European dates beckoned after jumping on the Thy Art is Murder, Feed Her to the Sharks and Earthrot tour. In June the band released a new track, 'Parasites' which culminated in another Australian tour and in October the band again flew around the country, supporting mates, Thy Art is Murder as they kicked off their 'Holy War' tour. The band won't be slowing down either with another batch of European dates in January and then returning to Australia to support fellow Nuclear Blast Record stalwarts, Soilwork, on their 'Ride the Majestic' Australian dates.
A massive year indeed, but here's Mick Jeffery's best of the best for 2015.....enjoy!
