So DRAGGED INTO SUNLIGHT – the band that makes your existential dread sound like a nursery rhyme – finally announced their first North American tour since 2016. They roped in MIZMOR (the solo blackened doom project of a guy who probably owns 17 different incense holders) and METH (a noise-rock crew with a name that’s… uh, bold for SEO). But then things got spicy: DRAGGED INTO SUNLIGHT yeeted METH off the tour faster than you can say “Prosthetic Records drama.”
METH fired back, saying they had “no idea” why DRAGGED INTO SUNLIGHT even invited them, calling the move “very poor professionalism” and accusing DIS of having “lax standards” and failing at “minuscule due diligence.” (Fun fact: METH’s 2023 album was ironically titled I Love You, Now Die – foreshadowing much?)
Not ones to stay quiet, DRAGGED INTO SUNLIGHT clapped back with a statement sharper than a hipster’s mustache. They claimed METH’s ties to Prosthetic Records – a label they’ve publicly beefed with over unpaid royalties – made collaboration impossible. Bonus irony: DRAGGED INTO SUNLIGHT’s own merch probably includes “F*ck Prosthetic Records” tote bags.
Their solution? Swap METH for a squad of “aural punishers” including:
- GLASSING (Texas post-metal wizards who sound like a spaceship crashing into a cathedral)
- MINSK (psychedelic sludge veterans who’ve been around since MySpace was cool)
- CHAINED TO THE BOTTOM OF THE OCEAN (doomgaze with a band name longer than their songs)
- RABBIT (mysterious openers – we’re guessing they’re either grindcore or play kazoos)
The revamped tour now looks like this (grab earplugs and tickets ASAP):
5/24 Maryland Death Fest, Baltimore, MD (DRAGGED INTO SUNLIGHT only)
5/25 The Lyric At Skyway Theatre, Minneapolis, MN New Date (DRAGGED INTO SUNLIGHT only)
5/27 El Corazon, Seattle, WA (w/ MIZMOR & GLASSING)
6/14 Alchemy, Providence, RI (w/ MIZMOR & RABBIT)
Tickets here – because watching metal bands argue via press releases is free, but the mosh pit isn’t.
