Gruesome Announces New North American Shows

Death-saluting metal collective Gruesome will take to the streets next month on a short run of live performances.

Following an appearance at Obscene Extreme America Fest in Montreal next month, the band -- which features guitarist/vocalist Matt Harvey (Exhumed), drummer Gus Rios (Malevolent Creation), guitarist Daniel Gonzalez (Possessed) and bassist Robin Mazen (Derketa) -- will kick off a mini tour in September. See confirmed dates below.

Issues Harvey of the trek, "We're beyond excited to finally take this beast out on the road and deliver some Schuldinerisms at full fucking volume to the folks out there. It's gonna be a blast to see the tunes come to, ahem, 'life' onstage and in the pit as well. See you there - bring beer!"

Gruesome pays homage to death metal's most celebrated founding American acts, Death. As such, the debut full-length "Savage Land" released earlier this year via Relapse Records is a delightfully punishing display of late-'80s/early-'90s Florida-styled death metal that keeps the true sound and spirit of Chuck Schuldiner and Death alive.
