TOXIC HOLOCAUST Announce Additional Tour Dates With The Casualties!

Portland, Oregon Punk Metal miscreants TOXIC HOLOCAUST are pleased to announce an additional run of dates with New York street punks The Casualties. The tour will serve as an extension to an already bludgeoning stretch of shows alongside English Dogs, The Casualties and Havok, set to commence on February 10 in Baltimore.

TOXIC HOLOCAUST will be touring in support of the infinitely punishing 'Conjure And Command' full-length released via Relapse Records last year. The record, which Revolver championed for its “equal parts nuclear reactive riffage and Repo Man Punk attitude,” continues to earn critical accolades. Cvlt Nation noted: “TOXIC HOLOCAUST have given fans a record that they will be able to devour now and for fucking years to come,” and The Onion’s A.V. Club opined: “sweetly redolent of Thrash, d-beat, and raw sewage, the album simmers with tar-thick riffage, staggering breakdowns, and a corroded dose of self-loathing,.” The Washingcity Paper agreed saying: “…it’s refreshing to hear a Thrash band that is so single-minded about its whirlwind riffs and pastor-baiting lyrics,” while Hails & Horns praised: “If The Exploited and Nuclear Assault had a kid, TOXIC HOLOCAUST would take it’s lunch money and toss it in the dumpster.”

'Conjure And Command' is out now internationally and available across several formats including a limited edition, deluxe CD and DVD set that includes a full TOXIC HOLOCAUST live show. The album is available for purchase through Relapse and iTunes (links below). In addition, check out the iTunes bonus track from the record -- a cover of Repulsion’s “Helga Lost Her Head” –- at the band’s OFFICIAL FACEBOOK PAGE.

Six shows confirmed so far including the historic return to The Ritz (now Webster Hall), 24 years after the filming of their heralded “Live At The Ritz” – the MTV concert continues to be one of the most sought after trades in bootleg circles. For the Webster Hall date, GN’R will celebrate their return by reclaiming the venue as The Ritz with signage and the name appearing on the marquee.

Prong Announce Initial U.S. Tour Dates!

Prong will be touring throughout 2012 supporting their forthcoming release 'Carved Into Stone' which will be released in April on Long Branch Records. The initial dates have been confirmed, and they include one headlining date and two shows supporting Bay Area Thrashers Testament on two dates in February, followed by a string of headlining gigs in March.

The band is currently putting the final touches on their Long Branch Records debut with producer Steve Evetts. Prong (whose lineup includes bassist Tony Campos and drummer Alexei Rodriguez) has taken a major step forward in their constantly evolving brand of sonic schematics.

'Carved Into Stone' is quintessentially Prong. It stretches into the band's earliest and dirtiest foundations on which the band was founded on New York's Lower East Side to the present as a staple of today's post-Metal and Rock scenes.
