RINGWORM Announce North American Inquisition: Chapter 1 Dates; Includes SXSW Appearance
January 21, 2014, 10 years ago
Cleveland's legendary kings of metallic hardcore RINGWORM return with their Relapse debut Hammer Of The Witch. Hammer of the Witch is set release March 18th in North America, March 17th for the UK/World and March 14th for Germany / Benelux / Finland.
Ringworm has announced a handful of dates prior to the release of Hammer Of The Witch. This run dubbed the North American Inquisition: Chapter 1 begins March 12th in Nashville, TN and wraps up March 16th in St. Louis, MO. These dates also include an appearance on March 14th in Austin, TX at the SXSW Festival. (Details on the festival appearance will be announced soon).
The band worked on the record with Ben Schigel (CHIMAIRA, WALLS OF JERICHO) handling production duties at Spider Studios in Cleveland, OH. 13 songs of fire-y rage propelled by lead vocalist Human Furnace's wrathful fury; this is a record sure to satisfy metal heads and hardcore kids alike. Riffs and grooves collide on songs like 'Psychic Vampires' and 'Bleed' creating some of the most vicious hooks to get stuck in your brain in a long, long time. Hammer Of The Witch might just be the finest moment in Ringworm's 20 plus year career. The artwork for the album was designed by frontman Human Furnace.
