Electric Wizard North American Tour: UK Band Playing First American Gigs in 10 Years
Electric Wizard is a U.K. doom metal outfit known for their lengthy tunes and NSFW mentality. With nearly 20 years under their belts since their eponymous debut, the group's biggest chart hit, "Time to Die," was released in September. Now, with the iron hot, the boys — and girl — will strike in North America for the first time in 10 years.Immediately after the album soared up international charts, singer Jus Oborn hinted that a U.S. run would be coming."The album is meant to be played live," he told Occult in October. "I think that's pretty obvious from the way it sounds, which is raw and brutal. To be honest, we are probably going to end up touring the f--king world by the end of this album's life ... I'd like to get to South America eventually, and the U.S. tour is coming into play around April 2015, and then we'll be back to playing in Europe, so hopefully a world tour by the end of the cycle."The group, also consisting of Liz Buckingham and Clayton Burgess, is pretty much a dyed-in-the-wool 1970s/'80s metal retread. -
Black Tusk, Black Label Society Continue Tour Plans After Bassist Dies in Motorcycle Crash
Black Tusk was set to embark on a 2015 international tour with Black Label Society and Crobot when bassist Jonathan Athon was killed in a motorcycle accident this November. After roughly a month of grieving, the band has decided to move on with the tour as planned, citing Athon as their inspiration.Here is the message from the band's Facebook page:"It's been an incredibly trying time for us over the past month and we want to thank everyone for their support. We had confirmed the European tour with Black Label Society and finished the new album before Athon's accident and Athon, specifically, had been very excited about the opportunity to tour with BLS and we feel there's no way he'd want things to end on this note. Corey Barhorst, formerly of Kylesa and currently of Niche, will be stepping in for Athon for the time being. All of us go back over 10 years and Corey seemed the natural choice to carry on for Athon." -

It used to be a sort of exclusion, I guess, but I wanna turn it into a secret club."Tweeddale has been recording with McVicar since late 2011. -
