Extreme metal titans ATOLL are set to obliterate the South starting this Friday with their Southern Sacrifice Tour 2025, bringing their signature blend of slamming death metal, groove, and grindcore to a city near you. Touring in support of their latest album, Inhuman Implants, via Unique Leader Records,

ATOLL is primed to unleash chaos with their most brutal and unrelenting performances to date. Supported by DEMON KING (Artisan Era) of Nashville and RAT KING (Satanik Royalty Records) of Seatlle, this tour marks the first run with new drummer Mike Thomas, adding even more ferocity to an already devastating lineup.

The carnage kicks off in Fayetteville, AR, at Waystone Pizza this Friday, before ripping through Shreveport, Pensacola, New Orleans, Houston, Corpus Christi, Austin, San Antonio, and culminating in a Texas-sized finale at Reno’s Chop Shop in Dallas on April 20. Fans can expect a setlist stacked with pit-inducing slams, relentless brutality, and raw energy, drawing from their decade-long discography, including Prepuce (2022), Human Extract (2023), and Inhuman Implants (2024).

Tour Dates:

  • 4/11/25 – Fayetteville, AR – Waystone Pizza
  • 4/12/25 – Shreveport, LA – Bears
  • 4/13/25 – Pensacola, FL – The Handle Bar
  • 4/14/25 – New Orleans, LA – The Goat
  • 4/15/25 – Houston, TX – The Pub 529

  • 4/19/25 – San Antonio, TX – Studio 210 Bar
  • 4/20/25 – Dallas, TX – Reno’s Chop Shop

Since forming in 2014 in Phoenix, Arizona, ATOLL has built a reputation as one of the most uncompromising forces in extreme metal, sharing the stage with giants like SKINLESS, GORGASM, and ABORTED, while decimating festivals like Full Terror Assault Open Air, Denver Death Fest, and Sonoran Slam Fest. Known for their conceptually driven themes of nuclear fallout, mutations, animal aggression, aliens, and crime, ATOLL continues to push boundaries with their unapologetic approach to sonic destruction.

Tickets and event details are available at Bandsintown, with direct links to each show on Facebook Events. Prepare for slam-infested devastation as ATOLL is bringing the heaviest tour of 2025 straight to your city. See you in the pit.

RED CAIN – Drops New Single “FWAB” (Fire, Water, Air, Blood) Ahead of Hyperspace Metal Fest Performance!

Set to perform at this year’s Hyperspace Metal Festival in Vancouver, BC on April 10th, power prog storytellers RED CAIN are unveiling their new single “FWAB” (Fire Water, Air, Blood). With its heavy balalaika breakdown, downtuned heavy riffs, and soaring harmonized choruses among atmospheric industrial synth backing, “FWAB” hits hard and never lets go – a primeval ritual chant in front of cold stone, on a frozen steppe, among howling winds.

The band explains the story of the track in further detail:

“In the frozen Eastern European steppes, there stood a fell ancient god. Every ill word fed him, and every ill deed made him more potent. For millennia, he grew strong through kingship over mortal ill will, suffering, and pride, until his nourishment took a new form, unable to feed or strengthen. Without nourishment, the god was powerless, and without power, he slept. After millennia, fed full by ill words and ill deeds, searching for an awakening, the god demands the symbols of his power: Fire, Water, Air, Blood. Join the ritual sacrament of Chernobog. With this new release, the Slavic pagan ritual to call forth the “Black God” takes flight, asking the listener what they would be willing to change their fate.”

Red Cain will be performing on night one of this year’s Hyperspace Metal Festival in Vancouver, BC, on April 10th at The Cobalt alongside Glyph, Tower Hill, Serpent Rider, and Crüzer.

Red Cain, from Calgary, Canada, is a modern progressive metal project with Eastern European roots. They have been making waves since their first release in 2016, with award-winning music videos and concept albums Kindred: Act I, Kindred: Act II, and NÄE’BLISS. The albums contained a ton of genre inspirations, from gothic rock to ambient electronica, power, black, and death metal, and were universally lauded for their inventiveness, variety, and strong conceptual content. They continue this momentum with forthcoming releases.
