Thrash metal powerhouse CLAUSTROFOBIA aren’t slowing down in 2025. After hitting the road last year with Sepultura, Obituary & Agnostic Front for a brutal run, the Brazilian legends are keeping their foot on the gas. CLAUSTROFOBIA has just announced a handful of brand new tour dates for the rest of 2025 with CRYPTA.
“It will be an honor to hit the road with our friends from Crypta. They’re enjoying tremendous success around the world, and it’s a joy to see Brazilian metal growing stronger. Our journey here in the United States has been very positive, and I can’t wait to start the shows. It’s going to be a lot of fun, and metal will reign supreme as always,” states singer/guitarist Marcus D’Angelo.
“We’re super excited because our brother Garrett Davis, from Unidad Trauma, will be playing bass with us on this tour. This tour will pave the way for the release of our new album, which will be recorded soon after, and then we’ll start planning a trip to Brazil. Thank you all for your support, and the march continues.“
CLAUSTROFOBIA’s latest album, Unleeched, hit stores last fall, or CD/limited-edition cassette can be ordered online https://lnk.to/claustrofobia Unleeched was produced, mixed and mastered by Adair Daufembach (Angra, Cadaver, Tony MacAlpine) with cover artwork by Alcides Burn and the domestic release contains two bonus tracks.
Check out the videos for “The Encrypted,” “Stronger than Faith,” “Riff Cult,” “Strength Beyond Strength” (Pantera cover) and the title track, “Unleeched,” which was edited from live footage from their last tour.
CLAUSTROFOBIA’s history dates back to Marcus founding the band 30 years ago in Brazil and releasing a couple demos in the mid-‘90s. By 2000 with his brother, Caio D’Angelo on drums, the then-quartet released a self-titled album kicking off a run of six albums over the next 16 years with S. American and European distribution and live shows with Slayer, Soulfly and Napalm Death and festival appearances at Portugal’s Barrocelas and the famous Rock in Rio.
Relocating to Las Vegas six years ago in an attempt to break the US market, CLAUSTROFOBIA began playing local shows, and touring around the western US with Exciter, Lich King, Vader, Krisiun, Warbringer and Heathen, in addition to festivals like Charged Noise Fest, Devastation in the Desert, and the Art of Music Fest.
In 2024 CLAUSTROFOBIA did two US tours opening for Exmortus, Generation Kill and Hatriot, as well as one of the biggest metal tours last fall – Sepultura’s final US run including support from such genre heavyweights as Obituary and Agnostic Front. In the meantime, writing is complete for the next album and the band will hit the studio to record it immediately following the Crypta run.
