Preeminent Norwegian blackthrash cult Deathhammer reveal plans for a tour across the American west coast next month. Riding high on the widespread acclaim of last year’s Hells Headbangers-released Evil Power classic, the unholy duo continue to spread their outbreak of evil to stages far and wide, with their rabid throng ever growing in the United States. Beginning October 5th, Deathhammer will deliver the goods to six exclusive cities in what is being dubbed the “Wrath in the Wicked West Tour 2016.” Confirmed dates and venues, as well as official tour poster, are as follows:
October 5 – San Diego, CA @ Til-Two Club
October 6 – Los Angeles, CA @ UNION
October 11 – Phoenix, AZ @ Joe’s Grotto w/ GRIM REAPER
October 12 – Oakland, CA @ The Golden Bull
October 13 – Portland, OR @ High Water Mark
October 14 – Seattle, WA @ Black Zia Cantina
A statement from the band reads: “Deathhammer returns to violate the rotten shores of America! This time, we will lay waste to the West Coast, starting in San Diego October the 5th, and ending in Seattle the 14th. Prepare for maximum metal overkill!”
In other Deathhammer news, the band have just completed their fourth full-length, which is tentatively slated for a Spring 2017 release through Hells Headbangers. Also coming in early 2017 from Hells Headbangers will be a reissue of Deathhammer’s long-out-of-print and highly sought-after debut album, Phantom Knights. Next year will be the year of maximum Deathhammer overkill!
