Who doesn’t love some Skeletal Remains? The Californian metal machine have been killing it for a while now, from their grisly beginnings with 2012’s ‘Beyond The Flesh’ to the sophisticated death metal mayhem of future classics like 2020’s ‘The Entombment Of Chaos’ and this year’s sublime ‘Fragments Of The Ageless’, they are climbing to the top of the heap as far as extreme metal is concerned. Now they are joining forces with German prog-death marvels Obscura and French tech-metal crew Gorod for a massive run of dates, including five in the UK.
“We are stoked to announce we will be joining Obscura on their ’Silver Linings‘ tour this February in Europe!” the band says. “We will be covering some familiar grounds that we haven‘t visited in a while along with a lot of new places, so come out and rage with us! Make sure to get tickets soon as some dates are already running low on tickets!”
Catch all three bands for a night of technical extremity on these dates:
15.02. Birmingham (UK) – Asylum
16.02. Manchester (UK) – Rebellion
17.02. Dublin (Ireland) – Whelans
18.02. Bristol (UK) – Thekla
19.02. London (UK) – O2 Academy Islington
