Monstrosity Announces European Tour Dates
The Floridian beast Monstrosity returns to Europe and will have technical death metallers Origin as direct support. Opening up will be Reject The Sickness (Belgium) and Intrepid (Estonia). With an all-encompassing setlist that spans Monstrosity's 30+ year career plus a special "Imperial Doom" set.
Comments Monstrosity's very own Lee Harrison: "We've been primarily focused on recording the new studio album. We wanted to take a break and do some live stuff to let everyone know we are still kicking. I've been working on the new record with guitarist Matt Barnes. Matt has been with the band since 2010 and he has become an important force in what we are doing now. He has really come into his own on this upcoming album and I think people will be blown away when they hear it.
"We have guitarist Justin Walker, who did the 2019 Europe tour and has been playing with us off and on since then. He‘s young and is a team player, so it's nice having him on board. Our original bassist, Mark Van Erp is back in the lineup. People will remember Mark from the Imperial Doom album back when George Corpsegrinder was fronting the band. He's always been a killer bassist and things worked out where it made sense to bring him back in. On vocals, we have been working with Ed Webb, who people may remember from his previous tenure with the band Massacre. Ed has been with us about a year now and it will be good to get out on a full tour and really stretch out with full sets every night.
"As for the tour, we wanted to give everyone a preview of what we have coming up in the future. The new album is turning out great, but there's still a lot of work to be done so we didn't want to wait to get back on tour. It delays the album a little, but it also keeps us in the fan's minds while they're waiting instead of being quiet for too long."
The tour dates are as follows: More...

Origin To Release New Album In June
Tech-death masters, Origin, strikes again on June 3 with their new album, "Chaosmos." The long-standing outfit celebrates not only a return to Nuclear Blast (World excluding Europe) and Agonia Records (Europe), but also rings in their 25th year on "Chaosmos." In celebration of the release, the band offers fans the first taste of the album with the single, "Ecophagy." You can hear the track below.
Origin's Paul Ryan comments, "'Chaosmos...' 25 years in the making. I'm personally super excited to present this album to our fanbase and I hope that they are excited to experience it as well! I personally tried to combine elements of every era stylistically of each album in this release and with the continuation of the same lineup for the last few albums I hope our fan base connects to the music that we have created! Over the years, so many bands have used and imitated our musical approach but the most important elements of Origin's music are songwriting, composition, and structure dynamics, not just technicality and flare - and that can never be replicated. Thank you for taking the time to listen to our newest album to date.... 'Chaosmos.'"
Origin re-tapped Kansas City-based studio guru Rob Rebeck to engineer, produce and mix "Chaosmos." The production team holed up in GFM Recording Studios in Blue Springs, Missouri, and Chapter 2 Recording in Lenexa, Kansas, over 14 days. Robeck worked the mix over four days, while Colin Maarten at Menegroth, The Thousand Caves in Queens, New York, mastered "Chaosmos" in two. The cover artwork was created by Santiago Jaramillo, Triple Seis Design. More...

Origin Announces North American Tour Dates
This spring, genre-defining technical death metal giants, Origin, are gearing up for not one but two North American tours to celebrate their 25 year anniversary as a band. They will start their journey on May 5 with The Space Control Tour 2022, with co-headliners Misery Index.
Today, the band announces The Chaosmos Tour 2022 will kick off on May 23, this time with American death metal masters Abysmal Dawn as direct support. The 21-day trek will make stops in Los Angeles, Vancouver, and Minneapolis prior to its conclusion in Lawrence, Kansas on June 15. The opening bands include Brooklyn-based experimental metal outfit Tombs and Canadian technical death metal band Killitorous.
Drummer John Longstreth comments, "Here we are again! Announcing yet another tour! I am happy to report to you that Origin will be hitting the road with Abysmal Dawn, Tombs, and Killitorous! After a two year break, I think it's easy to understand that everyone may be a little apprehensive, nervous, or maybe just flat out rusty from a 2-year break of not doing what we love, and LUCKILY we get to share this new beginning with some familiar touring friends in Abysmal Dawn! No one is going to feel all that embarrassed about if I can't remember how to set up a drum kit, or if Charles Elliott has taken on clean singing, or someone forgets where their dirty, sweaty, stinky, salty stage laundry goes in the van! (it goes in the trailer, dear reader, NOT the van. in a blue Ikea bag, if ya must know). Along with us comes Ottawa's Killitorous, and Tombs from Brooklyn, NY to shake things up with everything black, death, tech, doom, and straight out METAL! So come out and get up close and see what all 4 of these bands have been ruminating in for the past 2 years! See you on tour!"
