Shock rock veterans, Society 1, have announced that their former drummer Dagon Destroyer will be rejoining the band for their upcoming Exit Through Fear 20th anniversary tour. A large portion of the dates will be on the Rise Of The Machines tour with Static-X, Fear Factory, Mushroomhead and Dope. Additional shows are still being booked. Watch an announcement video here.
The band's most successful album, Exit Through Fear, which was originally released on Earache Records made an impression in 2003 due to the first music video of the album to feature lead vocalist Lord Zane performing body suspension. Drummer Dagon was featured in the video and did a large portion of the subsequent touring.
"I was 19 years old when we filmed our 'Nothing' music video for the album Exit Through Fear with Zane suspending over my drumset. The tours afterward were insane. Everything about Society 1 was insane, especially for a kid. It's surreal that we're joining forces again after 20 years and that we're out with Fear Factory and Static-X. It's a dream for me. These two bands are a huge part of my life," said Dagon
While in preparation and on tour the band will be filmed for a yet to be announced documentary project.
