Earlier this year NOLA thrash legends, Exhorder released their fourth album, Defectum Omnium, to mass critical acclaim and praise from fans worldwide. Today, the band has announced they’ll be supporting the record on a US tour later this summer with fellow Crescent City natives and sludgelords EyeHateGod. The excursion kicks off on August 13 in Memphis, TN and will wrap September 1 in Chicago, IL.
Vocalis/guitarist Kyle Thomas says of the tour: “It’s been 35 years since Exhorder and EyeHateGod first shared the stage in the local New Orleans scene, but we finally are getting the opportunity to tour with each other! We couldn’t be happier and more grateful that EyeHateGod are taking us out with them. I played in my first two bands with Jimmy, went to high school with Gary, and have known Mike since I was 15 years old. These guys are family to me, and the entire Exhorder team is stoked to burn down the highways with them as well. We’ll see everyone soon. Get your asses to the shows- this tour will be one for the books!!!”
