Announcing that Dir En Grey will be gracing us with their presence with not one but multiple dates at Islington’s O2 Academy, there have been rumours surrounding supporting line ups. With the decidedly different Rise Of The Northstar, mixing their Japanese tinged style of hardcore together, it seems that now another band has been announced. Outside The Coma, formerly Outpatients will be supporting the classic Japanese band. The unorthodox method that Goodman employs in SiKTh is more than prevalent in his band, mixing with a very experimental vibe will make for a fantastic performance.

Previously from tech metal pioneers SiKTh frontman Mikee Goodman decided to form Outpatients two years ago. After releasing their first video for “Throw Rocks” along with sold out shows all over the UK the band disappeared. With the announcement that SiKTh decided to return at last years Download, Mikee was busy all year touring with SiKTh however unbeknownst to us the band have been toiling away with new material. It has now been announced that the band are under a different name of Outside The Coma and will indeed be supporting Dir En Grey at their London date.

Commented Mikee :

“It’s an awesome show for us to be able to play. Were all excited and are hoping to add a warm up show before it. Maybe in Brighton or some other town. Just check out website for updates”

Keep your eyes and ears peeled for this one!
