XIBALBA Releases Brutalizing Tour-Filmed Video & Winter US Tour With Comeback Kid Confirmed

Posted on: January 10, 2014

Southern Cali’s lethal XIBALBA has just unleashed a new video for “Soledad,” one of the most punishing tracks on their Hasta La Muerte LP, released in 2012 by Southern Lord.

Filmed by Mike EYK and edited by Whobangin’, “Soledad” was culled from footage from their seemingly nonstop tour schedule over the past two years. XIBALBA’s monstrous on-stage delivery and interaction with the crowds amidst brutal dance floor action throughout the video, plus the copious amounts of partying captured between gigs, more than adequately displays the band’s incessant hard-touring ethos.

Check out “Soledad” RIGHT HERE.

XIBALBA earlier released an official video for the LP’s title track HERE, and Hasta La Muerte can be heard in its entirety HERE.

Having unloaded their downtuned, beatdown-ready death-infused hardcore onto North American audiences steadily for the past two years, in addition to tours of Europe and Japan this year, the band has just locked a new Winter excursion, set to sweep across the US this February and March. XIBALBA’s trek begins February 15th, as they cut through the center of the country with a bout of headlining dates in order to join up with the rest of the tour package in Chicago on February 20th, which sees them providing support for Comeback Kid, also joined by Backtrack, Downpresser and To The Wind. The caravan then hits East Coast and Southeast, storms through SXSW and then pushes west, closing with a round of shows in California.
