The Swedish hardcore punk quartet are also scheduled to perform at a completely sold out Coachella in California later this year. The band will also play Way Out West Festival in Gothenburg, Sweden, and will also headline Groezrock in Belgium, one of the biggest punk festivals in the world.
Dates to the inaugural “Decibel Magazine Tour” have been officially announced. The trek will storm through 25 North American cities in April/May, and will feature the U.S. return of Polish black metal warriors Behemoth, as well as performances by Sweden’s Watain, The Devil’s Blood and In Solitude.
The month-long tour will conclude on May 12th at Irving Plaza in New York City. Tickets, including a limited number of premium packages, are on-sale NOW.
Swedish stoner rock trio Truckfighters will return to the U.S. in March for a month-long stint alongside West Virginia’s Karma To Burn. A stop at Public Assembly (back room) in Brooklyn has been set for March 17th. Local psychedelic rockers La Otracina will open. Tickets are on-sale now.
In related news, last year, German filmmaker Joerg Steineck, along with producer Christian Maciejewski, released a documentary (or “fuzzomentary”, as they’re calling it) about the band Truckfighters. The 83-minute film, conveniently titled “Truckfighters“, incorporates various interviews with the band, live performances, and in-studio footage of the making of Truckfighters‘ 2009 full-length, “Mania” (out now on Fuzzorama Records). The film also features guest appearances by Josh Homme (Queens Of The Stoneage), Alfredo Hernandez (ex-Kyuss, Yawning Man), Nick Oliveri (ex-Queens of the Stone Age, Mondo Generator) and many more.
Danish thrash metal veterans Artillery will invade U.S. soil for the first time ever this May. The five-piece thrash unit will headline Saint Vitus in Brooklyn on May 26th. The band’s only other appearance will be at MDF on May 25th. Deceased, Prime Evil, Sectioned, Dimentianon, Day of the Beast, Midnite Hellion and Sacrificial Blood will support in BK. Tickets are on-sale now. Doors open at 5PM. 21+ only.
Artillery will no doubt be playing tunes from their latest album “My Blood”, which was released last year through Metal Mind Productions.
