Original RIGOR MORTIS Lineup to Play shows with ARSON ANTHEM

Texas thrash metal pioneers RIGOR MORTIS will team up with ARSON ANTHEM — the new band featuring Philip Anselmo (DOWN, ex-PANTERA) on guitar, Mike Williams (EYEHATEGOD) on vocals, Hank Williams III (SUPERJOINT RITUAL) on drums and Collin Yeo on bass — for three shows in December.

RIGOR MORTIS will perform with its original lineup consisting of Bruce Corbitt (TEXAS METAL ALLIANCE), Mike Scaccia (MINISTRY, REVOLTING COCKS), Casey Orr (MITRA, GWAR, X-COPS, THE HELLIONS, THE BURDEN BROTHERS), and Harden Harrison (MITRA, PERVIS, SPEEDEALER).

These three dates mark ARSON ANTHEM's first official performances ever, and due to the hectic touring schedules of the members involved, might turn out to be the group's only appearances for awhile.

The details are as follows;

Dec. 13 – Exit/In – Nashville, TN
Dec. 14 – Vino's – Little Rock, AR
Dec. 15 – One Eyed Jacks – New Orleans, LA

Also appearing on the bill for all three shows are EVIL ARMY and IF HE DIES, HE DIES.

ARSON ANTHEM is tentatively scheduled to release its debut CD in February 2008 via Housecore Records. More information will be made available soon.
