Following the success of their most recent album Swan Song, US quartet The Plot In You have set their sights on Australia with plans to bring the Swan Song tour to this country and New Zealand in September 2022.
The last time the band was out here was as support to Polaris in 2018, but this time The Plot In You will be the headline act wth progressive metalcore heavyweights Erra coming along for the party.
The Plot In You vocalist Landon joined HEAVY to chat about the tour and new album.
"It's weird," he measured. "Like, honestly, there was a point where i was like I dont know if this is ever gonna be a thing ever again. I mentally prepared to be done with it which is bizarre. Honestly, even with this US tour even a couple of weeks before it started I was thinking is this actaully going to happen? It feels so foreign... so bizarre... but it's happening! I've been praying nothing happens to ruin it."
After spending the best part of 18 months away from the stage, landon was brutally honest in his appraisal of how they played at their first show back.
"Horrible (laughs). We were so bad it was embarrassing. I hope no-one got it on video or the internet. It was legitimately one of the worst shows i have ever played., and it was to a sold out crowd too which makes it even worse (laughs). Two or three shows into the tour we're starting to get the hang of it again. It was all nerves. Every single one of us was unbelievably nervous."
