Godhunter Announces Arizona Shows
Like an encompassing dust storm full of fire and broken whiskey bottles and expended weed smoke, Tucson, Arizona's Godhunter is preparing to suffocate the planet with devastating hymns this year. The following press release has been issued about Godhunter performing new tour dates and working on new material:
"Through diehard D.I.Y. ethics and self-promotion, Godhunter have preyed upon the weak-minded scenesters and have defied pigeonholing genre classifications through a savage amalgamation of sheer heaviness, both live and through recorded proof via several EPs, split releases and compilation inclusions since their 2009 formation. All five members of the band are heavily involved in the local scene and hail from other previous and current acts across the region, yet bring their most ferocious dynamics to life in Godhunter; the result is a sludge-bred sub-hardcore blend of caustic riffery laced with multiple scathing vocal approaches.
"Godhunter' latest output, the 2011-released 'Wolves,' showcases the band's most crushing material to date, and while considered by the band to be an EP, the beast clocks in with over 32-minutes of material. Stream Wolves in its entirety now at Godhunter's Bandcamp page.
"With local and regional touring a constant part of the Godhunter mission of intent, the band have supported national acts including St. Vitus, Crowbar, The Sword, Red Fang, Early Graves, The Atlas Moth, Intronaut and Black Tusk in addition to countless indie acts. 2012 will bring much more touring to the table for the band as new live assaults are announced over the coming months. The band will also record/release several other indie releases over the coming months before investing time into a brand new full-length late in the year." More...
