HAVOK: Denver Thrashers To Kick Off Tour With Exhumed; New Drum Cam Video Posted


Denver road dogs HAVOK are ready to lay waste to another section of North America, this time alongside headliners Exhumed and Goatwhore. The band will play two warm-up shows in Colorado on October 21st and 23rd before joining Exhumed in Amarillo, Texas where the chaos will officially commence. The band will be touring in support of their critically-lauded Time Is Up full-length, released earlier this year via Candlelight Records. Said vocalist/guitarist David Sanchez: “I hope everyone is ready for a sore neck! This tour is gonna be a rager! We’ll supply the tunes, you guys bring the mosh!”

In related news, Sick Drummer Magazine is currently hosting the second of three drum cam videos featuring HAVOK basher Pete Webber, who Popdose aptly crowned “a fucking monster on the skins,” crucifying his kit. Check out footage of Webber playing “Scumbag In Disguise” HERE.

“I do not know why they are not opening the Big Four tour.” — Stereokiller

“…one of the best slabs of thrash revivalism in an era swamped with bands wanting to sound like Testament and Exodus…with solid songwriting, insane chops, and crushing production–not to mention the youthful enthusiasm of the group itself–Time Is Up pays homage to the ’80s while feeling completely fresh and vital.” — AV Club

HAVOK have emphatically outdone their previous effort and come up with a thrash masterpiece…” — Metal Assault

“Everyone should be worshipping at these Denver native’s altar as they have the flashy skill, ridiculous song-writing chops and prodigious lead guitar work that’ll have even the most jaded ears saying, ‘Okay, just this last one…'” — Rock Sound

“This is a damn good thrash album. Call it retro, new thrash revival or whatever, HAVOK have the chops and the ability to prove that they have the staying power to last in this genre.” — About.com

“…for those who feel Metallica wussed out, Megadeth got too corporate, Anthrax too modern and Slayer too, well, the same as always, HAVOK should be a great reminder as to what made thrash so damn cool in the first place.” — Hardrock Haven
