Someone in the booking world clearly chose violence — and we thank them for it.
Legendary Southern California thrash lunatics HIRAX are gearing up for a full-throttle blitzkrieg through the Northeast and Midwest this spring, and they’re not coming alone. Riding shotgun on every date are occult heavy metal conjurers SAVAGE MASTER and speed metal psychos DESOLUS, forming a three-band battering ram of riffs, spikes, and whiplash.
HIRAX have been flying the flag of raw, unfiltered thrash since the early ’80s, powered by Katon W. De Pena’s inhuman vocal cords and a mission statement that has never once included the words “slow it down.” SAVAGE MASTER bring the leather-and-chains, ritual-ridden heavy metal energy, sounding like a lost cult ceremony performed at 200 BPM. DESOLUS, meanwhile, exist purely to make your neck regret its life choices.
The tour kicks off March 27 in Baltimore and tears its way north, then west, before detonating in Indianapolis on April 5. If you’ve been waiting for a proper excuse to ruin a perfectly good weekday with tinnitus and sweat — congratulations, this is it.

This is not a nostalgia tour. This is not a “sit in the back with a beer” tour. This is a bang-your-head-into-the-stage-edge tour.
You’ve been warned. 🤘💀
