ISD Launches IndieGoGo Campaign
Imminent Sonic Destruction's North American tour will begin by playing shows with Kingcrow starting April the 28th, before hitting the road with Pain of Salvation on May 1st in West Springfield, VA. The dates are currently scheduled to run through May 11th in Minneapolis, MN.
The band has also started an indiegogo campaign to help raise money for all of the expenses they will incur on tour. Many bands that are signed to record labels are afforded tour support from those labels. ISD, which is not on a label yet, does not have that luxury. Therefore, fans can help the band by donating to the indiegogo campaign, which has killer perks. More info, including a list of perks and donation details can be found here.
The band commented on the campaign and the upcoming tour: "We would really deeply love you and appreciate your help for this to happen. We've been hoping for an opportunity like this for years now, and it's finally happened. We want to bring you guys our experience, right to your face. We have plenty of friends and fans who haven't seen us yet because they don't live in our area. With this tour, not only will we be able to completely cave your face in (musically), we'll also be able to connect with people who haven't seen us for years. To make new friends and fans. To visit places we've never been. We're going to Canada! Do you guys realize the amount of Molson we're about to drink?" More...

"Imminent Sonic Destruction is the brainchild of Detroit-based guitarist, vocalist and metal innovator Tony Piccoli. Influenced by the raw power of bands such as Strapping Young Lad, Meshuggah and Pantera, as well as the disciplined complexities of progressive groups like Dream Theater and Genesis, Piccoli set out to change the face of metal. His blend of crushing guitars, ethereal overtones, a combination of vocal styles and wonderful melody are wrapped in subtly complex time signatures, skull-crushing guitar riffs, and melodic hooks so memorable that you will need surgery to get these songs out of your head."

Pit Stories: Anything To See Pantera Up Close
We've been chatting up metal fans and band members everywhere to get their best pit stories from live metal shows. This week Tony Piccoli from Detroit prog metal act Imminent Sonic Destruction shares the following tale of suffering abuse in the pit to see Pantera up close and personal:
Back when I was living in Arizona, and still in high school, I attended the Pantera/Soulfly concert at the Mesa Amphitheater. It was my first Pantera concert, and I was supremely excited. I was very much into Pantera at the time, and NOTHING was going to stop me from getting to the very front of the crowd. I literally memorized lines from their famed "home videos." I withstood the pain of being smashed into the bar of the rail at the front. I've been in many pits in my time, but this concert was special to me, and I wanted to be at the very front to witness the band in all their glory. As the pit circled behind me during the opening acts, the force that was pushing me into the top of the railing (which lined up perfectly to my chest) was growing stronger, and the pain was escalating. Using the bar, I started bracing myself, and pushing back into the crowd. This offended the big, giant Mexican dudes behind me. Oh man, they were pissed, and with that, the "fun" began.
The last of the opening bands was wrapping up, and I could feel the energy of the crowd behind me growing as the time for Pantera drew closer. The big guys behind me continued to push into me... sometimes leading with their elbows. I continued to take it, and respond with a pretty powerful push back against them, and the crowd, which continued to anger the big guys. Finally, the last opening band finished up. At this point, there was clear discontent between me and my boys, and the big guys behind me. However, since I was the one pushing back, they were most upset with me.
Fast Forward to Pantera's set. BOOM. The crowd explodes into a violent flowing ocean of humans. It was amazing, and... painful! The big guys behind me were seriously going after me. Multiple elbows to the back, a punch to my shoulder (after all, the pit was directly behind me) and finally, a direct closed fist hit to the back of my head.
I was done. "Fuck this."More...
