Closure in Moscow Announce 2024 ‘Soft Hell’ UK/EU Tour

Australian alternative rock group Closure in Moscow have announced their return to the UK and Europe in May 2024 in support of their new album ‘Soft Hell.’

The band will celebrate the album’s release with their first UK/EU shows in 9 years, visiting Germany, Hungary, Netherlands, Belgium and playing an exclusive UK headline show in London.

The band will be joined at all headline shows by fellow Australian prog rock legends TOEHIDER and Hungarian post-hardcore outfit SHELL BEACH.

They will also play at Belgium’s iconic Dunk Festival, alongside a diverse array of artists, including sleepmakeswaves, Emma Ruth Rundle, Conjurer, Arms and Sleepers, and more.

The band are currently in the midst of their ‘Soft Hell’ world tour, including a sold out North American run during February and a forthcoming tour of Australia in May, after earlier selling out their hometown album launch in Melbourne last December.

The band shared the following statement about the announce:

“It’s been a long 9 years waiting for a lot of things, but we’ve never forgotten the hospitality and love from Europe. We’re back baby. See you in May.”

‘Soft Hell’ is the band’s third album and their first new album in 9 years, following Pink Lemonade (2014), First Temple (2009) and their debut EP ‘The Penance and the Patience’ (2008). The band have spanned a wide range of genres across their releases – from post-hardcore and earnest punk rock, through to progressive rock, avante-garde and experimental electronic rock.

Produced by Andrei Eremin (G Flip, Tash Sultana, sleepmakeswaves), the new record topped the Australian independent charts on its release and hit #6 on the ARIA Australian Album Chart.

About the new album, the band says:

The new album is called “Soft Hell.”

Getting comfortable with chronic discomfort caused by the choices that fears and trauma lead you to make. This is life in a soft hell. There are enough distractions to stave off facing up to it, you can keep yourself in denial to avoid it, and things can just keep ticking along. Life becomes a fever dream of creature comforts and time killers, floating further into a lake of fire. People come along to pull you out, but they too get burned when you feel too stuck to climb with them.

Thank you to everyone that had been patiently waiting for new music. Everyone involved with working on this went so above and beyond because they believed in it, and we hope you hear what they heard too.
