Goatwhore Pull Out of Testament’s Upcoming European Tour, Nervosa to Play Instead

PLOT TWIST ALERT: Turns out even metal bands have to adult sometimes. GOATWHORE (the New Orleans legends who sound like a satanic barnyard rave) just dropped off their European tour with TESTAMENT, OBITURY, and DESTRUCTION. Guess even hellish riffs can’t escape the dreaded “scheduling conflicts.” 🐐💔

No official word yet on why GOATWHORE ghosted the tour—maybe a scheduling clash or a goat-related emergency. Either way, their absence leaves a blackened-death-metal-shaped hole in the lineup. But fear not! Brazilian thrash queens NERVOSA (fun fact: they started as an all-female trio and now slay stages worldwide) are stepping in to melt faces in their place.

Mark your calendars, because this chaos kicks off October 5th in Hannover and winds through Europe like a drunken Viking. Pro tip: If you see a venue listed as “O2 Academy,” prepare for the walls to sweat pure metal. Check the full rundown below—and maybe pack earplugs (your eardrums will thank you).
