Italy's Southern hard rock act TOMBSTONE HIGHWAY released their debut studio album, entitled Ruralizer, on February 26th in Europe. The album will be available in North America on March 19th via Agonia Records.

The album track, 'Acid Overlord', is streaming below:

The song 'Bite the Dust (And Bleed)', featuring guest appearance by electric guitar virtuoso Mario Percudani (HUNGRYHEART, MITCH MALLOY), can be streamed below:

According to a press release, "Tombstone Highway is a classic blend of feisty stoner/southern rock and doom metal, with catchy guitar solos and old-school heavy metal parts that may remind of LYNYRD SKYNYRD, CORRISON OF CONFORMITY, PRIDE AND GLORY, DOWN, BLACK SABBATH, or even ZZ TOP riffage. The band even uses also a banjo and Hammond organs."

Ruralizer consists of eight original songs and a cover of MOUNTAIN's 'Mississippi Queen' with a playing time of almost 50 minutes and will be made available on Digipack CD and digital download. It was recorded at Elfo Studios by Daniele Mandelli who is also in charge of mix and mastering.

The band commented: "We're very proud of how the album came out and we strongly believe it's the perfect way to begin our legacy. People into heavy, ballsy southern-tinged Hard Rock should take note!"

Three songs from Ruralizer can be heard Tombstone Highway's Reverb Nation profile here.
