Midwest death continues to plague middle America as Fargo, North Dakota death metal heroes Maul set off on a US tour with Missouri grindcore freaks Primitive Rage and additional support on two dates from Dallas, Texas death metal monsters Dysmorphia. Maul is centering the tour around their appearance at the inaugural Austin Death Fest which is happening April 27-28 at The Mohawk in Austin, Texas and which will also feature the likes of Mortiferum, Outer Heaven, Witch Vomit, Tomb Mold, Phobophilic, and more.
The tour begins and ends in the Midwest, passing through the deep south, Texas, Utah, and a number of other places that are notorious for being either uptight and conservative or quiet and boring. Well that’s about to change as they’re all going to get their faces melted off by this destructive tour. That’s a lot of ground to cover in a tour that’s going to last less than a month.
