Undoubtedly the most crushing package of the Summer touring season, the tour is a true DIY undertaking that was booked by Southern Lord owner Greg Anderson himself. The core acts for the tour includes Milwaukee’s metal/hardcore crossover outfit ENABLER, Ontario-based hardcore/rock outfit BURNING LOVE (featuring ex-Cursed vocalist Chris Colohan), the dark lords of Swedish crust MARTYRDÖD, and Seattle’s d-beat/death-infused hardcore bastards BLACK BREATH headlining the tour. All four bands have brand new albums either already out or set to be unleashed based around the tour. Special guests POISON IDEA, NOOTHGRUSH, PELICAN, POWER TRIP, WILD//TRIBE, DEAD IN THE DIRT, THE SECRET and more will also infiltrate the routing, each with one or more regional performances.
In addition, Southern Lord is hosting a label showcase co-presented with Scion A/V Metal, set to take place at The Glass House in Pomona this Saturday, June 23rd. The lineup for this show features all four core acts on the label tour in addition to a special headlining guest appearance by PELICAN. As a free RSVP-only event the spots will fill up extremely fast. If you plan on attending, make sure to reserve your spot AT THIS LOCATION.
