Next week, Southern Lord will decimate the metal underworld with the release of Beyond The Wall Of Desolation, the debut LP by Massachusetts-based HIGH COMMAND. With their album about to invade the public, the band has just posted a run of Eastern North American Fall tour dates with fellow crossover outfit Enforced.

The eight tracks on HIGH COMMAND‘s Beyond The Wall Of Desolation deliver an onslaught of searing thrash/hardcore aggression. The album explodes with the band’s ravenous delivery, magnified by the powerful recording which took place at Machines With Magnets (Daughters, The Body, Lingua Ignota), and mastering job courtesy of Brad Boatright at Audiosiege (Obituary, Integrity, Black Breath).

Following their extensive tour with Spirit Adrift over the summer, HIGH COMMAND announces their next new live excursion in support of Beyond The Wall Of Desolation, this time with Virginia-based Enforced. Beginning October 18th in Enforced’s hometown of Richmond, the At The Walls Of Desolation Tour 2019 will bulldoze northward through the Northeast US and into Canada before coming to a smoldering finale in HIGH COMMAND‘s hometown of Worcester on November 2nd.

HIGH COMMAND declares, “As lightning strikes beneath the crimson moon an unholy alliance of sonic devastation has been forged. Gather warriors! Harness the power of steel! For soon we unleash a vehement assault across the eastern realm…”

Southern Lord will release Beyond The Wall Of Desolation on CD, LP, and digital next Friday, September 27th. Find preorders at the label webshop HERE and at Bandcamp HERE.

SUNN O))) continues to tour across the western edge of the US this week with support from Papa M and labelmates Big|Brave. The caravan proceeds in the wake of the recent announcement of SUNN O)))‘s impending Pyroclasts LP – the companion album to their acclaimed Life Metal album, issued earlier this year – has been confirmed for October release through Southern Lord.  

Following their show in Salt Lake City tonight, SUNN O)))‘s performance in Arizona tomorrow, Saturday, September 7th, has been moved from Arcosanti to The Mesa Art Center since prior tour announcements. After Phoenix, the tour continues into Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seattle, Portland, and ends with a return to Los Angeles for a special one-off Shoshin (初心) Duo performance September 15th.  

SUNN O))) will also return to Europe this fall on the Let There Be Drone (Multiple Gains Stages) October 2019 tour. See all updated tour dates below and watch for further announcements to be made in the coming weeks.  

In other recent news, the Gold Edition of their own EarthQuaker Devices-created Life Pedal – the popular boutique effects pedal company’s first artist-oriented collaboration – after the initial run of the pedals sold out in just hours. The limited Reverb run of the Gold Edition sold out in minutes this time, and SUNN O))) is selling their stock of the pedal on the current tour dates.  

SUNN O))) will release Pyroclasts through Southern Lord on October 25th. View the trailer for Pyroclasts at THIS LOCATION and see the Life Pedal trailer HERE.
