Get ready for the most epic, ear-shattering, and face-melting tour of the year, folks! 🤘🏻💥 DYING FETUS and SANGUISUGABOGG are joining forces to destroy stages across the US and Canada, and we couldn’t be more excited 🎉! The trek kicks off on September 17 in Philadelphia at Franklin Music Hall and will run through October 24, wrapping up in Richmond at The National. And, because one or two bands aren’t enough, they’re bringing along a stacked lineup featuring CROWBAR, LEFT TO SUFFER, and DETERIORATION, with SCORCHING TOMB making appearances on select dates 🤯. It’s like a metal lover’s dream come true… or nightmare, depending on how you feel about your eardrums 🗣️.
John Gallagher of DYING FETUS had this to say about the upcoming tour: “Now this is the kind of bill we’re talking about — CROWBAR and DETERIORATION are legends in their own right, SANGUISUGABOGG are leading the new breed of extreme metal, and LEFT TO SUFFER are one of the hottest up-and-coming heavyweights. We are bringing all of it to 32 cities this fall, and we’re not holding anything back. See you in the pit 🤘🏻!” Yeah, because what could possibly go wrong with a bunch of sweaty, moshing metalheads in a crowded venue 🤦♂️?
