XIBALBA Confirm North
American Tour
New Album To See
Release Via Southern Lord Mid-August
Southern
California dominators XIBALBA will
release their anticipated sophomore LP Hasta La Muerte via Southern Lord
Records on August 14th in North America. While still a month from release, the
new album is already reaping mass praise from media outlets internationally, the
band's intense style infusing some most doom-ridden tones one will experience
within the hardcore genre with unstoppable force.
In
support of Hasta La Muerte, XIBALBA will tear through North America
on a month-long trek. The outfit will tour alongside their previous tourmates
Alpha & Omega, as well as labelmates Power Trip for the vast majority of the
shows. The tour actions kick off with XIBALBA's performances at The Power Of
The Riff West in Los Angeles on August 11th and includes another performance at
the first installment of The Power Of The Riff East in Brooklyn on September
1st. View the full itinerary below, and watch for more updates to the tour over
the coming weeks.
Taking
their down-tuned assault to iniquitous new dimensions, XIBALBA's ravenous breakdowns hit with
the force of tsunamis and their riffs like mires of quicksand on Hasta La Muerte, showcasing more than
ever how
well the unit delivers such low-end savagery while remaining resilient,
undeviating from their course of destruction. The album now confirmed
for North American release on August 14th, the band recorded with Taylor
Young (of labelmates Nails), and outsourced the album's powerful cover art
concept to renowned death metal artist Dan Seagrave (Dismember, Entombed, Morbid
Angel, Suffocation, etc.).
