Before Ciada is a pre-apocalyptic metal 5 piece band from Sydney, with the ideology of producing music that tells the story of humanities struggles, downfalls and impending collapse into a world that no-one could ever predict or embrace. Through music they aim to spread a message of who we are, who we were and most of all who we need to be.

“Ciada” is an undefined word relating to the end of the world as humanity knows it. “We have become a race of greed, feeding off a world that has a limited amount of resources to sustain the manipulative, wasteful creatures we have become and this must change before we destroy everything we rely on to
maintain our existence as beings” says Troy Ware (lead singer and lyricist).

The band itself formed in late 2012 through a mindset connected by these similar ideas and their love of metal and music in general. “It is a way to advise and educate those who have not yet been exposed to, or understand the inevitable destruction our world faces” adds Gabriel Gastro (guitar).

Before Ciada have played numerous shows around Sydney and will embark on a 3 week east coast tour (in Australia) which kicks off on Thursday the 23rd of May at the Prince of Wales Hotel, Brisbane, and are playing shows through untill Sunday the 9th of June at Yours and Owls, Wollongong. They have also been announced on the German RUDE (Rock Unter Den Eichen) festival line-up to play with bands such as Asphyx and Grave on the 26th-27th of July. Their full list of tour dates below.

Before Ciada has recently released a 5 track concept EP “Birth To Burial” based around the hardships and ideals linked with life. This has been met with much support on social media, streaming websites, radio and physical sales.

“Birth to Burial is a statement, a learning curb and a story of life” Troy continues on to say of the EP. “This is an ever evolving, ever changing and always relentless world requiring a new sound, a new way of living and we have a great way to spread our message, in the music we produce”.
