Bon voyage to Graf Orlock, which is kicking off a tour of Japan starting tomorrow. To date, the globe-trotting L.A. band has played Japan, Indonesia, Australia, Puerto Rico, Canada, and almost every country in Europe. Joining Graf Orlock on this Japanese tour will be fellow L.A. dissidents Dangers. Dates are as follows:

Mar 24 - Yokohama, Japan
Mar 25 - Shinjyuku, Japan
Mar 27 - Nishiogikubo, Japan
Mar 28 - Yokosuka, Japan
Mar 29 - Kyoto, Japan
Mar 30 - Nagoya, Japan
Mar 31 - Osaka, Japan

Graf Orlock's new EP, "Los Angeles," is due out April 10th on Vitriol Records. Of Graf Orlock's Hollywood-obsessed hardcore, sometimes referred to as "cinema-grind", MetalSucks has declared, "Not only is their music as mercilessly murderous as you'd want it to be, but their incorporation of elements from action films in brilliant."

Known for the band's next-level artwork - last year's "Doombox" EP was housed in a full-size fold-out "boombox" and was named "Packaging of the Century" by Revolver Magazine - Graf Orlock continues to amaze with "Los Angeles," whose three collectible covers are "shooting range targets" shot up with actual bullets.
