Joshua Moore (We Came As Romans): “Our first time in Europe was two years ago, opening the Never Say Die tour. To think that our European fans have been so supportive over these past two years to have us back and now headlining, is an amazing feeling. We can’t wait to return and have a great time with all of you, sharing our second Impericon Never Say Die Tour experience!”
BLESSTHEFALL

Impericon Never Say Die! will see the band continue to enhance their killer live show that earlier this year saw the band receive a 5K! live review from Kerrang where they were described as “One of the most explosive live bands on the planet” – Don’t miss them!
Beau Bokan (BlessTheFall) “We’re honored to be part of the Impericon Never Say Die! tour! If you all didn’t know already we love all of our fans out in Europe and UK and we love partying with you guys.!! HERE WE COOOMMME AGAIN!!!”
STICK TO YOUR GUNS
After four full-length albums, a number of worldwide tours and legions of diehard followers, STYG have come full circle and in 2012 have delivered the most important effort of their already stellar career. The much anticipated new album, ‘Diamond’, encompasses what STYG is all about and sees their songwriting develop and mature to ultimately craft their definitive release, which ultimately delivers a message of inspiration that anyone can relate to.
Jesse Barnett (STYG): Our excitement for this tour cant even be put into words. We are honored for the opportunity to be apart of this legendary tour. See you soon.
FOR THE FALLEN DREAMS
For the Fallen Dreams formed in late 2003, these young men show incredible promise through songs that showcase poignant and powerful writing, both lyrically and musically while still staying in touch with their hardcore/metal roots. FTFD showcase a variety of ranges while shifting back and forth between hard-hitting metal riffs and melodic guitar lines, brutally honest lyrics about life, relationships, and struggle.
Dylan Richter (FTFD): We just wanted to say how excited we are for the Impericon Never Say Die! tour this year. It’s always been something we’ve wanted to be a part of and now we finally get the chance. See y’all this fall!
OBEY THE BRAVE
Obey The Brave are a new Canadian metal and hardcore band featuring ex-members of Despised Icon and Blind Witness. Originating from Montreal and Ottawa, the band took shape during 2011 and was officially announced on January 17th, 2012. Fresh out of the studio, the band’s debut full length album “Young Blood” showcases raw energy paired with a distinct sense of melody. Fuelled by passion and a strong DIY ethic, Obey The Brave managed to confirm 2 dozen Eastern Canadian dates and gain over 14000 Facebook fans in its first 2 weeks of existence, all without releasing a single song. Armed with 2 recently completed music videos and a few more tricks up its sleeve, the OTB army is gearing up for a killer year!
Alex Erian (Obey The Brave): “I’ve had the pleasure of being part of the Impericon Never Say Die! Tour twice back in the day with Despised Icon and those were sincerely some of the best times in my life. This year’s edition of the tour will mark Obey The Brave’s first time ever in Europe! We can’t wait to get our asses across the sea and rock out with you guys. If you’re into metal, hardcore or anything in between, come hang out this fall on the Impericon Never Say Die! Tour. That’s what’s up.”
AT THE SKYLINES
Combining soaring melodies, earth-shattering breakdowns, passionate screams, heartfelt and catchy phrasing and blazingly provocative dynamics, SoCal natives At The Skyline have hit upon every bright spot of aggressive rock music across a wide spectrum stretching from Linkin Park to A Day To Remember. On their Roadrunner debut, The Secrets to Life, At The Skylines craft driving anthems interlaced with unique programming and atmospherics.
Chris Shelley (At The Skylines): We’re stoked to come over to Europe in support of some great friends on an awesome tour. Can’t wait to play our debut album overseas!”
THE BROWNING
The Browning is a five-piece metal/electronica band comprised of veterans from the Dallas, Texas and Kansas City, Missouri music scenes. In what could be described as nothing short of ‘adventurous,’ The Browning’s music takes influences from all across the metal spectrum and heavily fuses them with hard style, trance and other areas of electronic music in a way that most metal acts would not dare attempt. The band pushes boundaries and pushes buttons. In short, when it comes to The Browning, TheNewReview.net put it best when they said “the soundtrack to the apocalypse has arrived.”
Jonny (The Browning): “Playing the Impericon Never Say Die! tour is a huge step for The Browning. Performing with these other great bands and being on such a well renowned tour is a dream come true! European metal and dance music is a big influence on our band and being over there is going to be like a second home! Can’t wait!”
AT DAWN WE RAGE
US Dubstep pioneers At Dawn We Rage will be opening proceedings at Never Say Die! this year – bringing a new kind of flavour to the tour. They will also be part of several special after show parties so keep an eye on the Impericon Never Say Die! website for details!
