Brazilian death/thrash metal trio Claustrofobia have announced a string of U.S. tour dates for October and November — all shows are listed below.
Regarding the news, an official statement from the band’s camp states, “Claustrofobia channels his heavy metal energy with a solid career in Brazil, South America, Europe and the USA. Currently living in the United States, where they affectionately call Las Vegas “Home”, the band is preparing to return to concerts after a year and a half stopped due to the pandemic.”
“After more than a year and a half we are finally going to hit the road, it will be a kind of warm-up for our new album,” comments guitarist and vocalist Marcus D’Angelo.
The official press release says, “The tour will be the band’s official return to the stage and starts with Florida, which will host the Claustrofobia for the first time in eight energetic shows that Brazilians love. Claustrofobia is very excited and eager to return to the stage.”
Marcus adds, “This return to the stage in Florida couldn’t be more special, because Florida was a Death Metal hotbed in the 90s and influenced us a lot, and the main bands from that time are still active and that remains very inspiring. That sound is still very much alive within our DNA. We can’t wait to show fans the current Brazilian Brutal Metal. Let’s destroy.”
The presser ends with, “The band has the new album finished, with compositions that mix among the classics already released in the last 20 years with a more up-to-date look, remaining faithful to legitimate Brazilian metal, and will soon announce great news.”
