Melbourne metal outfit The Weight Of Silence are firing up in 2017, with a massive east coast tour in May and June. The "Don't Play it Safe" tour takes the band not only to the major east coast cities but also to some of their favorite country towns.

Touring extensively for their debut album "Sickness Unknown" around Australia and New Zealand in 2016, the band will be back on the road in Australia and overseas for much of the remainder of this year. Promoting the upcoming single/video cover "Shutterbug" the guys will be bringing in a change to their modern metalcore sound with a range from hip-hop to deathcore, ushering in a new direction for their upcoming sophomore album. "Shutterbug" is set for release mid April. The "Don't Play it Safe" tour kicks off May 12th, with dates across VIC, ACT, NSW and QLD.
