Death metal legends NILE (the mummified gentlemen in the pic) are dragging their sarcophagi across America with Canadian shred-lords CRYPTOPSY for what’s basically a summer family road trip from hell. Playing wingman: THE LAST TEN SECONDS OF LIFE and COGNITIVE, because apparently 25 dates of pure aural carnage wasn’t brutal enough already.
“We’re SO jazzed to unleash ‘An Insatiable Violence’ stateside. Touring with buds AND melting faces? Ideal!” gushes CRYPTOPSY like they haven’t spent 30 years perfecting the art of sonic terrorism. “Our new jams? Made for live shows. Extra chunky riffs so your neck gets its daily workout.” (Fun fact: Cryptopsy’s drummer Flo Mounier once did a gravity blast so fast it briefly opened a portal to the Netherrealm – or so I’m told.)
Pre-sale kicks in TODAY at high noon Eastern – password’s “UNDERWORLD” because subtlety’s for jazz musicians. Regular peasants can grab tix starting Friday, June 6 at 10 AM local. Don’t forget your earplugs and a will.
