All Nereids (and Australians) Beware, this November Michigan post-hardcore icons <strong>CHIODOS</strong> are set to return to Australian stages for the first time in over a decade, bringing their <em>All's Well That Ends Well</em> 20th Anniversary Tour down under, joined by special guests <strong>RAIN CITY DRIVE</strong> (USA) and <strong>THE BEAUTIFUL MONUMENT</strong>.<br><br>Forming in 2001, <strong>CHIODOS</strong> has remained more than a single moment or scene for decades. Co-founded by frontman Craig Owens, with his raw vocals and confessional fire turning chaos into catharsis, <strong>CHIODOS</strong> would ultimately become a movement buoyed by an adventurous and rule-breaking spirit; a spirit that instantly put them on the map via their 2005 debut album <em>All's Well That Ends Well</em>.<br><br>Layered with moments of intensity and vulnerability, 2005's <em>All's Well That Ends Well</em> established both the disparate and formidable vocal range of Owens while showcasing a mix of frenetic breakdowns, madcap synths, soaring melodies, caustic shrieks and haunting pianos. Introducing enduring fan favourite <strong>CHIODOS</strong> tracks like <em>Baby You Wouldn't Last a Minute on the Creek</em> and <em>The Words "Best Friend" Become Redefined</em>, with the latter receiving RIAA Gold certification, <em>All's Well That Ends Well</em> was genre-defiance at its finest, while also emerging as a landmark record in the scene in the mid 2000s. In 2025, Owens also re-recorded the album in full for its 20th anniversary.<br><br><strong>CHIODOS</strong> emerged from a hiatus in 2024 when they were invited to play When We Were Young. From there, the band amassed sold out tours, including a packed Hollywood Palladium crowd, continuing to grow intergenerational fans singing every word to this very day. Most recently commencing a brand new chapter with the release of their new album.
