Bonfire - Rock'n'Roll Survivors

German hard rock icons, BONFIRE, will release their brand new album, "Fistful Of Fire" on April 3 via AFM Records.

It’s been exactly two years since BONFIRE, following the outstanding debut of their current vocalist Alexx Stahl on "Byte The Bullet" (2017), were unanimously celebrated for their successor album "Temple Of Lies" (2018). Two years which saw the band rock countless stages at home and abroad before going on to set the bar even higher with their latest offering "Fistful Of Fire".

 "Fistful Of Fire" will be one of their hardest albums so far, and the title track makes this clear.

“This development already became apparent the last time around,” explains guitarist and founder member Hans Ziller. “However, this time our approach was even more focused and consistent. I’ve always been the tough guy in BONFIRE but haven’t always been able to implement my ideas the way I wanted. But since our tour with JUDAS PRIEST, we’ve known that toughness in combination with great melodies suits Bonfire perfectly.”

“Unlike previous BONFIRE vocalists, Alexx oozes so much energy that you may occasionally have to hold him back rather than motivate him. We’ve been a hard rock band from the very beginning, but that has never been more apparent than in 2020.”

"Fistful Of Fire", was recorded in collaboration with sound engineer Tom Müller at Ingolstadt’s Flatliners Recording Studios.

The charismatic vocals, the catchy riffs and hooks courtesy of guitarists Ziller and Frank Pané, the rich bass sound provided by their American colleague Ronnie Parkes and the driving grooves contributed by new addition André Hilgers (ex-Rage, Axxis), who has complemented the line-up for a number of months. “This team delivers without mercy and has turned into a really tight unit,” Ziller enthuses.

Deep Purple - Throw My Bones

"Throw My Bones" is the first single from DEEP PURPLEs highly anticipated studio album "Whoosh!"

The single was released on March 20th. "Throw My Bones" is a song to remember; a powerful insight into the band's 21st studio album.

The single is accompanied by a music video that pushes the boundaries of time and place. It is an invitation to take a step back and see the bigger picture, a call for action and an invitation to observe the planet and the current situation on earth.

DEEP PURPLEs brand-new studio album “Whoosh!” follows their worldwide chart-topping albums “inFinite” (2017) and “NOW What?!” (2013). For the third time, DEEP PURPLE joins forces with producer Bob Ezrin, and together they created the most versatile album in their collaboration, “stretching out in all directions” without any limitation, letting their creativity go.

“DEEP PURPLE is putting the Deep back into Purple” was the half-joking motto in the studio after the first songs made it clear that Ezrin and Purple were on a path to creating an album pushing the boundaries of time, while voicing their resentment about the current situation of the world and addressing all generations.

“Whoosh is an onomatopoeic word that, when viewed through one end of a radio-telescope, describes the transient nature of humanity on Earth; and, through the other end from a closer perspective, illustrates the career of DEEP PURPLE".

“Whoosh!” will be available as Limited CD+DVD Mediabook (incl. the 1h feature “Roger Glover and Bob Ezrin in conversation” and, for the first time, the full live performance at Hellfest 2017 as video), 2LP+DVD Edition, Limited Boxset and Digital on June 12th, 2020 on earMUSIC.

Already the content of the Limited Box Set has been revealed yesterday. It will contain the 2LP Gatefold, the CD+DVD Mediabook, three 10” vinyls containing previously unreleased live recordings from DeDEEP PURPLEs performance in Rio 2017 “The inFinite Live Recordings, Vol. 2”, an exclusive Deep Purple Collector’s T-Shirt as well as three Art Prints.

You can pre-order the album here: https://deeppurple.lnk.to/WhooshPR

Coinciding with the release of the new album, Deep Purple will also embark on a full European tour starting in summer 2020. See the dates below.

Colter Wall - The Devil Wears A Suit And Tie

Don't you know the devil wears a suit and tie

I saw him driving down the 61 in early July

White as a cotton field and sharp as a knife

I heard him howling as he passed me by

That's part of the lyrics of Colter Wall's tune "The Devil Wears A Suit And Tie", a tune taken from his album Imaginary Appalachia. It’s a midtempo song filled with twangy guitars and little riffs, hinting at Wall’s guitar-playing abilities, whilst the confessional feel of the lyrics comes through in his subdued vocal.

Colter Wall’s music is more in the traditional style than the other guys that have been playing tunes here on Tune Of The Day. Over the years his baritone has gone deeper, check him out if you like this downscale tune.

Colter Wall (born June 27, 1995) is a Canadian singer-songwriter from Swift Current, Saskatchewan. His self-titled debut album was released on May 12, 2017, and his second album Songs of the Plains on October 12, 2018.

Colter Wall will hit the road soon and in June he will come to Scandinavia for two shows, one in Oslo, Norway and one in Stockholm, Sweden. Hopefully, I got some spear time to be able to witness him live, see all the dates below.

Charlie Parr - Wish I Was In Heaven Sitting Down

Thursday, time for a cover.

"Wish I Was In Heaven Sitting Down" is a tune written by Delta blues guitarist R. L. Burnside, he was one of the paragons of state-of-the-art Delta juke joint blues. The guitarist, singer, and songwriter was born November 23, 1926, in Oxford, MS, and made his home in Holly Springs, in the hill country above the Delta. He lived most of his life in the Mississippi hill country, which, unlike the Delta region, consists mainly of a lot of small farms. He learned his music from his neighbor, Fred McDowell, and the highly rhythmic style that Burnside plays is evident in McDowell’s recording as well. Despite the otherworldly country-blues sounds put down by Burnside and his family band, known as the Sound Machine, his other influences are surprisingly contemporary: Muddy Waters, John Lee Hooker and Lightnin’ Hopkins. But Burnside’s music is pure country Delta juke joint blues, heavily rhythm-oriented and played with a slide.

Like jazz, the blues has its share of late bloomers -- artists who didn't start recording or didn't become well-known until they were well into their 50s or 60s. R.L. Burnside is very much a late bloomer; the Mississippi bluesman was born in 1926, but it wasn't until the 1990s that he started to enjoy the publicity he deserved. Recorded in 2000, "Wish I Was in Heaven Sitting Down" finds the veteran singer continuing to be fairly unpredictable at 73. Essentially, this album falls into the Mississippi blues category -- Burnside maintains the earthy, down-home rawness that people expect from Mississippi country-blues.

Today's cover is made by Duluth, Minnesota, country blues musician Charlie Parr. Charlie plays a Mule resonator, National resonator guitar, a fretless open-back banjo, and a twelve-string guitar, often in the Piedmont blues style. He is married to Emily Parr, who occasionally adds vocals to his music.

Enjoy Charlie Parr's cover of R.L. Burnside's "Wish I Was In Heaven Sitting Down".

Tyler Childers - House Fire

Appalachia country breakout Tyler Childers returned with his third album "Country Squire" on August 2, 2019, through Childers' own Hickman Holler label. Recorded at the Butcher Shoppe in Nashville, the album was produced by Sturgill Simpson.

  Tyler Childers (born June 21, 1991) is an American singer and songwriter. His music is a mix of country, bluegrass and folk.

Today's tune "House Fire" and the nine-track "Country Squire" follow "Purgatory", a stirring 2017 release from Childers that launched the earnest, poignant songwriter into an international success.

The single was accompanied with a video in March of 2019, "House Fire" uses a hyperbolic metaphor of a house fire to describe the passions felt for a lover living too far away, and his need to get to her. An uptempo tune with driving rhythm that gives the tune a dynamic that it’s difficult to remain seated while listening to.

Paul Cauthen - Cocaine Country Dancing

In 2019, Cauthen released his second solo record called Room 41. At one point Cauthen considered calling the record "Holy Ghost Fire" after that track on the album but eventually settled on "Room 41". The title of the record is in honor of the room number where Cauthen lived at the Belmont Hotel in West Dallas, Texas, for almost two years while he wrote the record.

Paul Mark "Big Velvet" Cauthen (born in 1986) is a singer-songwriter from East Texas. He started his music career in an Americana/indie folk rock duo called SONS OF FATHERS, before turning solo. He has released two albums and an EP as a solo artist, the most recent being "Room 41" released in September 2019. Cauthen is nicknamed Big Velvet for his distinctive baritone voice.

"Room 41" was the culmination of a dark period in Cauthen's life, prompted by the end of a long-term relationship in Wichita Falls, Texas. Cauthen relocated to Dallas and while writing prolifically, went through a period of alcohol and drug abuse.

Today's tune "Cocaine Country Dancing", taken from "Room 41" where the video was filmed at the Electric Cowboy Fort Worth country music venue in Fort Worth, Texas. In September 2019, the video was nominated by the Dallas Observer's Music Awards for Best Music Video

Ian Noe - Between The Country

Monday, a new week and a new turn, it's time to present "Record Of The Week" "Between The Country" is the debut album by singer-songwriter Ian Noe. Noe hails from Beattyville, a small town in Eastern Kentucky.

Ian Noe sings with a gentle high nasal voice and the guitar is his main man. The lyrics are based on places where he has lived all his life and touches subjects like death, addiction, country jungle, lost love and poverty.

"Between The Country" was recorded in Nashville’s RCA Studio A with producer Dave Cobb (Sturgill Simpson, Chris Stapleton, and Jason Isbell). Dave also plays guitar on the album along with Adam Gardner on bass and organ piano, Chris Powell on drums and percussion, and Savannah Conley on back up vocals.

The album is a masterful piece of work, a very emotional and touches your soul with its simplicity. Tunes like the personal portraits of "Irene (Ravin’ Bomb)" or the story of a 1904 coal-train crash "Barbera’s Song". He also spotlights the drug problems that have reached every single place in his country in the tunes "Junk Town" and "Meth Head". The somber and emotional tunes like "Letter To Madeline", the title tune "Between The Country" and "Loving You" to the more powerful "Dead On The River (Rolling Down)" or the grey haze across the sky "That Kind Of Life". "Between The Country" is an excellent debut from this singer-songwriter that I recommend you to get or at least check it up.

Ian will hit the road in April with a start in Nashville and a few dates in Europe in June, hopefully he stops by Sweden for a show. See all the dates below.

Sum: "Between The Country" is a brilliant record of small-town sadness.

Today's tune "Between The Country" is shot entirely in Ian's home of Eastern Kentucky, the official video for "Between the Country" features the real places he sings about in this song.

H.E.A.T - Dangerous Ground

H.E.A.T is one of the finest melodic rock bands to have come out of Scandinavia.

It was way back in 2012 when the talented Swedes released their third album, "Address The Nation", their first with singer Erik Grönwall. That the band took another direction with Grönwall behind the mick and the fanbase grow bigger for every album they released since then. The follow-ups "Tearing Down The Walls" (2014), "Into The Great Unknown" (2017) both had a bit controversial feel and now with the latest release and 6th album "H.E.A.T II" (released February 21st, 2020), they return to their roots.

Band Members: 

Vocals: Erik Grönwall 

Guitars: Dave Dalone 

Keyboards: Jona Tee 

Bass: Jimmy Jay 

Drums: Crash 

The album has 11 juicy tunes spanned over a 40 minutes run time. It is also the first album to be self-produced, with guitarist Dave Dalone and keyboardist Jona Tee. The album sounds really good and shows really how talented these musicians are. The band has thrown off a superb album full of brilliant tunes, nice guitar riffs and cleaver solos, ear-shattering drums, balanced keyboards an excellent rhythm section, with cool and catchy melodies and at last astonishing vocals.

So visit your local record store and get a great classic melodic hard rock album.

Today's tune "Dangerous Ground" is a hard-edged fast-moving rocker and is one of the high lights on the album.

Dynazty - Heartless Madness

Swedish melodic metal band DYNAZTY is soon ready to release the seventh full-length studio album "The Dark Delight" on April 3rd via AFM Records. The first single ”Presence Of Mind” was released on January 30th and on February 28th it's was time for the second melodic power rock single "Heartless Madness", see and hear it below.

Formed in Stockholm, Sweden in 2008, DYNAZTY has since released 6 albums in a mere 10-year window. Straying from their early days of ’80s influenced Hardrock, the band has developed and refined their sound into something that merges the modern metal scene with the past, crafting something wholly unique.

Today the band is comprised of highly respected and sought after musicians, active on the metal scene in more than one way. Bassist Jonathan Olsson can also be seen in both LINDEMANN and PAIN, guitarist Love Magnusson and drummer Georg Härnsten Egg frequently tours with rock legends such as DEE SNIDER and JOE LYNN TURNER. Guitarist Mikael Lavér has been featured with both LINDEMANN and JOE LYNN TURNER, while singer Nils Molin can be heard and seen around the globe with the ever-rising star of fellow Swedish band AMARANTHE.

Singer Nils Molin says about the album:

”We pulled out all the stops, pulled no punches and held nothing back on this one. "The Dark Delight" is the complete vision of what this band has always wanted to be”.

Spearheaded by the first single/music video ”Presence Of Mind”, DYNAZTY enters the new decade with a bang.

”Presence Of Mind” showcases the raw nature of our band and is just the kind of groovy and melodic onslaught of a song we always wanted to release as a first single.

The track "From Sound To Silence" features guest vocals from AMARANTHEs Henrik “GG6” Englund. The album was produced by the band and mixed by Jacob Hansen at Hansen Studios in Ribe, Denmark.


Cover artwork was created by Brazilian digital artist Gustavo Sazes.

Pre-order the album here!

A few exclusive limited vinyl editions will be released, just check out this beauty.

The band consists of:

Nils Molin (vox),

Love Magnusson (guitar),

George Egg (drums),

Mikael Lavér (guitar),

Jonathan Olsson (bass)

Today's tune "Heartless Madness" is taken from the upcoming album "The Dark Delight". The tune is opening up with a neat keyboard loop, until it all thunders in a pompous and heavy melodic and majestic way, makes one think of power metal bands like HAMMERFALL and NIGHTWISH, especially in the catchy chorus. Directed by Tage Rönnqvist, the clip can be viewed below.

The Night Flight Orchestra - Aeromantic

Monday, a new week and it's time to introduce "Record Of The Week"

The fifth soap opera "Aeromantic" by the Swedish classic rock/AOR supergroup THE NIGHT FLIGHT ORCHESTRA. This time, they’ve gone back to earth, or at least to somewhere 10,000 ft. above the earth, with an airborne soap opera about the inevitable heartbreak, the endless longing, the futile nostalgia and the occasional moments of euphoria you experience when you’re always leaving where you should have been going, traveling to where you should have been.

"Aeromantic" was released on February 28th via Nuclear Blast Records. The album follows in the same steps as the 2018's "Sometimes The World Ain't Enough". Twelve songs in fifty-four minutes of glorious AOR.

"Aeromantic" is an "Airborne soap opera" based upon shattered dreams, broken illusions, and the fact that we are all something much less than the person we were supposed to be. But in the darkness, there’s always a glimmer of hope. And from that glimmer of hope, with the right mindset, you can sculpt and create a whole lot of Swedish classic rock melodrama.

The album opens up with "Servants Of The Air", a progressive rocker with bombastic riffs at it's best, in a typical TNFO manner, excellent hooks, cleaver melody with a flawless groove, smooth and clear vocals makes this tune a superb start, it's followed by the main single "Divinyls", an uptempo, high energy pop-rocker with infectious groove and catchy lyrics about doing the impossible and pushing your inner dreams to the forefront of your psyche and being in total control of your own future. The album contains serval danceable pop tunes like "If Tonight Is Our Only Chance" and "This Boy’s Last Summer" that flirt with heroes like ABBA and SECRET SERVICE. "Curves" is a groovy West Coast piece where the Porcaro brothers could be in the rhythm section, nice and bouncy piece. "Transmissions" is another pop-infused rocker with an ear-catching melody and chorus, check it out below. The title tune "Aeromantic" has a bit more of a classic and dirtier sound, still keeps the catchiness and servers a cool guitar solo, the whole tune is surrounded by 80's synths and piano. The band hits the break and serves a slower atmospheric piece "Golden Swansdown" a genuine power ballad. Once the band has exhaled a bit, it's time to put on the dance shoes again. "Taurus", "Carmencita Seven" and "Sister Mercurial" are three catchy pieces and pounding rhythm sections and a sticky melody that makes it hard to sit still. The album wraps things up with "Dead Of Winter" where an atmospheric synth intro until the energy is let loose. An atmospheric popish synth-infused rocker with really impressive vocals that really showcase Strid’s vocals capabilities. "Aeromantic" contains all your guilty pleasures, I mean everything from mind-melting hard rock, groovy hooks, flawless vocals, beautiful guitar solos, shameless pop, and disco tunes and one power ballad.

"Aeromantic" was recorded at the Nordic Sound Labs using the same drum kit that was used during the recordings of ABBA’s 1980 mega album "Super Trouper".

Sum: "Aeromantic" contains all your guilty pleasures, an infectiously fun record to play.

THE NIGHT FLIGHT ORCHESTRA will head out on a European headline tour, "The Aeromantic Experience", March-April 2020, and will also appear on numerous festivals this summer, see all the dates below.

THE NIGHT FLIGHT ORCHESTRA is:

Björn Strid | vocals

Sharlee D’ Angelo | bass

David Andersson | guitar

Richard Larsson | keyboards

Jonas Källsbäck | drums

Sebastian Forslund | guitar, percussion, special effects

Anna-Mia Bonde | backing vocals

Anna Brygård | backing vocals

Today's tune "Transmissions" is taken from "Aeromantic", Video directed by René U Valdes of Bravo Bravo Films. Enjoy!

Slipknot - Unsainted

"Unsainted" is a song by American heavy metal band SLIPKNOT. It was released as the lead single from their sixth studio album "We Are Not Your Kind" on May 16, 2019, accompanied by its music video, see it below. This is the first SLIPKNOT single released since "All Out Life", which was released on October 31, 2018, as well as their first single without their former percussionist Chris Fehn who was fired from the band due to a lawsuit earlier in 2019.

A music video directed by Shawn "Clown" Crahan was released alongside the song on May 16 and has, as of December 2019 over 67 million views on YouTube. Blistein characterized the video as full of "creepy, cultish imagery". It ends with Corey Taylor walking out of a church to find he and the other members of the band turned into statues, then proceeding to light his statue on fire. Luke Morton of Kerrang! called the video "a lot to take in", writing that it is "full of kaleidoscopic visuals, religious iconography, and fire".

"Oh, I’ll never kill myself to save my soul/I was gone but how was I to know? 

I didn’t come this far to sink so low/I’m finally holding on to letting go"

SLIPKNOTs tour supporting their new record, "We Are Not Your Kind", began in Europe earlier this year and the group has announced their 2020 return, this time bringing BEHEMOTH with them.

The tour begins on Jan. 14 in Dublin, Ireland and will hit over 20 cities before wrapping up on Feb. 24 in Helsinki, Finland, see all the dates below for Europe and the upcoming Knotfest Roadshow. For fans in Europe, it's a partial taste of the Knotfest Roadshow that's currently sweeping through North America, which features BEHEMOTH as well as VOLBEAT and GOJIRA.

Head to Slipknot's website for more ticketing information and see the complete list of dates below.

Tonight they play in Sweden, yes I'm not there this evening, have a family business to attend to as to oldest girl is turning one year older.

Pearl Jam - Superblood Wolfmoon

Time for round two, the second single "Superblood Wolfmoon" by PEARL JAM, taken from the upcoming 11th album "Gigaton", out March 27th.

The sonically upbeat garage pop-rocker tune sees frontman Eddie Vedder reflecting on a relationship that went south. The song is a bit more traditional than "Dance Of The Clairvoyants," the highly experimental lead single that was released in mid-January.

"Gigaton" it’s their first album of new material since 2013’s "Lightning Bolt", marking the longest period of time they’ve ever gone between albums. So far the band has dropped single “Dance of the Clairvoyants” ahead of release, along with three music videos for the track.

The group will also hit the road for a 16-date North American tour in March and April to promote the album. The trek kicks off March 18th in Toronto, Ontario and wraps April 18th and 19th in Oakland, California, then a short break before it's time for Europe, PIXIES, IDLES and WHITE REAPER will be supporting the band across the dates in Europe. The European leg will include several indoor shows as well as outdoor festival shows at Rock Werchter, Lollapalooza in Stockholm and Paris, and the BST Hyde Park concert in London. The show at the Royal Arena in Copenhagen will be on the eve of the 20th anniversary of the Roskilde tragedy, see the upcoming tour stops below.

Pre-order the "Gigaton" album now: https://pearljam.lnk.to/gigatonYD

On Thursday (Feb. 13), the band instructed fans to use the PEARL JAM app and to direct their cell phone camera toward the moon, which would then trigger the teaser clip.

Wolf - Midnight Hour

Swedish heavy metal masters WOLF strike back with their 8th studio album “Feeding The Machine”, the first one after 6 long years. The album that offers intense and addictive headbanger anthems covering the straight-up speedy attack on the singles ("Shoot To Kill"), the infectious hooks ("Midnight Hour"). It will be interesting to spin it on the release date.

WOLF states:
“This is the first video from ”Feeding the Machine”, directed by Daniel Wahlström of Heavy Groove Media. Apparently we have a tradition in WOLF to have Niklas half naked and tormented in the videos and this fine tradition we still uphold. You got to suffer for the art, right? Seriously, it has been a blast working with Daniel, who is full of crazy ideas and there will be a second video from him later on. Oil your neck joints, let your inner animal out and howl at the moon. We give you: ”Midnight Hour”!”

The album is also featuring a gloriously morbid artwork by the legendary Thomas Holm (MERCYFUL FATE, KING DIAMOND), WOLF knows how to deliver the goods after letting fans wait for a new opus since "Devil Seed" in 2014.

Recorded at SolnaSound (guitarist Simon’s own studio), mixed and mastered by Fredrik Nordström at Studio Fredman (AT THE GATES, IN FLAMES, ARCH ENEMY), "Feeding The Machine" is a bit of a fresh start for WOLF as vocalist Niklas Stålvind and guitarist Simon Johansson now have been joined by Pontus Egberg (KING DIAMOND) on bass and drummer Johan Koleberg (ex-THERION, ex-LIONs SHARE, ex-HAMMERFALL) to bring an extra dose of reinvigorated energy and focus to the table.

They will head out on tour together with GRAND MAGUS in March 2020 where Europe and the UK is on the schedule, see the dates below.

"Feeding The Machine" will be released as 180gram black vinyl plus CD, limited CD digipak including an ANGEL WITCH cover version and on all digital platforms!

Limited mint green (100x) and red vinyl (200x) available at www.cmdistro.de Order your copy here: https://Wolfband.lnk.to/FeedTheMachineID

Death Angel - Immortal Behated

Ascending from the depths, the almighty DEATH ANGEL, one of three mighty American thrashers that are out touring in Europe atm with TESTAMENT and EXODUS.

DEATH ANGEL is an American thrash metal band from Daly City, California, initially active from 1982 to 1991 and again since 2001. DEATH ANGEL has released nine studio albums, two demo tapes, one box set and two live albums. The band has gone through several line-up changes, leaving guitarist Rob Cavestany as the only constant member; he and vocalist Mark Osegueda (who joined the group in 1984) are the only members of DEATH ANGEL to appear on all of their studio albums.

DEATH ANGEL is often referred to as one of the key bands in the Bay Area thrash metal movement of the 1980s, and secured opening slots at club venues that decade, including opening for their peers MEGADETH, METALLICA, SLAYER, EXODUS, TESTAMENT, OVERKILL, D.R.I., MERCYFUL FATE and POSSESSED. They are also often credited as one of the leaders of the second wave of thrash metal movement from the 1980s, and considered to be one of the "big eight" of the genre (along with METALLICA, MEGADETH, SLAYER, ANTHRAX, TESTAMENT, EXODUS and OVERKILL). Following the underground success of their first two studio albums, "The Ultra-Violence" (1987) and "Frolic Through The Park" (1988), DEATH ANGEL signed to Geffen Records in 1989, and released their only album for the label, "Act III", the following year. While they were touring in support of "Act III", then-drummer Andy Galeon was injured in a tour bus accident and needed more than a year to fully recover. This resulted in the band's break up in 1991. However, DEATH ANGEL reformed in 2001 (without original rhythm guitarist Gus Pepa) at the Thrash of the Titans benefit concert for TESTAMENT singer Chuck Billy. The band has since continued to record and perform, and their recent studio album, "Humanicide", was released on May 31, 2019.

Today's tune "Immortal Behated" is taken from the ninth studio album "Humanicide", enjoy!

Exodus - Blood In, Blood Out

2020 is set to be an unforgettable year for British and European thrash metal-heads – three legendary pioneers of the genre have announced that they will be touring throughout next spring. Hitting the road will be no other than the Bay Area’s very own TESTAMENT, EXODUS and DEATH ANGEL – who have all teamed up to bring the catchily dubbed ‘The Bay Strikes Back‘ tour to our shores!

The tour started yesterday in Copenhagen and will go thru Stockholm, Sweden this evening and end in Hannover, Germany on the 11th of Mars, see the rest of the tour below.

Yesterday we had TESTAMENT and today we put focus on EXODUS, guess what we will have for tomorrow?? 😁

TESTAMENT’s Chuck Billy commented:

“It’s finally happening!!!! All of us have spoken over the years of how killer it would be to tour together and bring Bay Area Thrash Metal across the world and we are starting in Europe. I’m sure I can speak for all three bands in saying that we are proud of where we all came from and we are still delivering some of the best thrash metal we can to the fans. Be ready for the Bay Area Strikes Back Tour 2020.”

And Gary Holt from EXODUS:

“I am fired up to FINALLY return to Europe with Exodus! Along with our Bay Area friendsTestament and Death Angel! An epic tour for the ages! Looking forward to crushing everyone Bay Area style! See you there!!! I cannot wait!”

DEATH ANGEL’s Rob Cavestany added:

“We couldn’t be more excited to announce our upcoming tour with Testament andExodus! Bay Area Thrash Attack in full force! All three bands have been close friends for decades and our mutual respect is of the highest level. That said, we will surely push each other to go beyond expectations each and every night. This is a first – the three of us have never toured together in the same package… it’s about time! See you in the pit!”

Both TESTAMENT and EXODUS are currently working on the follow-up to their 2016 (TESTAMENT – "Brotherhood Of The Snake") and 2014 (EXODUS – "Blood In, Blood Out") albums, while DEATH ANGEL will be touring in support of their most recent record, 2019’s "Humanicide".

EXODUS is an American thrash metal band formed in 1979 in Richmond, California. They have gone through numerous lineup changes, two extended hiatuses, and the deaths of two former band members. Their current lineup consists of guitarists Gary Holt and Lee Altus, bassist Jack Gibson, drummer Tom Hunting, and lead vocalist Steve "Zetro" Souza. Hunting is one of the original members, and departed from EXODUS twice, in 1989 and 2004, but rejoined in 2007. Holt joined the band about two years after its formation and is the only member of EXODUS to appear on all their releases.

The band is currently writing a follow-up album, tentatively due for release in 2020.

Today's tune "Blood In, Blood Out" is the title track from the tenth studio album by American thrash metal band EXODUS. It was released on October 14, 2014 through Nuclear Blast, and is the band's first album with vocalist Steve "Zetro" Souza since 2004's "Tempo Of The Damned". The album also saw a reunion with original guitarist Kirk Hammett, who plays the guitar solo on "Salt the Wound". "Blood In, Blood Out" received generally favorable critical reviews, and it entered the Billboard 200 at number 38—the band's highest U.S. chart position to date. EXODUS promoted the album with its first concert tour with Souza since he left the band in 2004, due to a feud with guitarist Gary Holt.
