For four decades, OVERKILL have been the trailblazers in producing some of the most signature moments in the world of metal. Earlier this year, the New Jersey Thrash Legends unleashed their twentieth studio album, entitled Scorched via Nuclear Blast Records.
Today, the band announce they are heading on their "Scorching The Earth" U.S. Tour with labelmates EXHORDER and HEATHEN. The 16-date trek will kick off on July 13th in San Francisco and make stops in Dallas, Ft. Lauderdale, and Silver Springs before ending in Huntington, NY on July 30th!
OVERKILL’s Bobby Blitz state, 'Hey "killers', the time has come to hit the road in the US of A! July the 13th starts the salvo in San Fran and we will be rolling down the west coast to L.A., across Rt10 east to Florida then up the east coast and back home. Been a long time kids! Keep your eyes open, and get Scorched! Cya on the R.O.A.D.!"
EXHORDER's Kyle Thomas comments "Rolling with OVERKILL is always nothing short of a family affair, but add HEATHEN and us to the mix too and it’s like a family vacation! We can’t wait to tear up the States with our family!”
HEATHEN comments, "We are absolutely stoked to continue this killer tour package with our friends in OVERKILL and EXHORDER and look forward to bringing it to the United States! We'll see you in the pit!"
Tickets for the tour go on sale this Friday at 10 AM local time.

ABOUT EXHORDER
Exhorder's enduring legacy began in the mid-80's when they defined the sound of Louisiana thrash and groove metal. Their initial formation was short-lived, lasting nearly a decade with two critically acclaimed, classic albums, but their impact on the metal genre can be felt through a generation of bands that followed. Exhorder dissolved in the mid-90's but briefly reunited in 2011. Now, the band has returned to reclaim their throne of NOLA metal.
EXHORDER's all-star line-up includes:
Kyle Thomas | Lead Vocalist & Guitar
Jason VieBrooks | bassist
Sasha Horn | drummer
Pat O'Brien | Guitar
ABOUT HEATHEN
HEATHEN will be touring in support of their latest album Empire of the Blind which was for the most part engineered, produced, mixed, and mastered by Christopher “Zeuss” Harris at Planet Z Studios.

The album features guest appearances by Gary Holt (EXODUS, SLAYER), Rick Hunolt (ex-EXODUS), and Doug Piercy (ex-HEATHEN).
