Texas Groove Metal Veterans Announce 7-Date Tour with Special Guests Single Bullet Theory and select dates with Byzantine

El Paso’s legendary groove metal pioneers PISSING RAZORS are set to make their long-awaited return to the East Coast for the first time in over two decades. The upcoming seven-date run marks their first appearance in the region since 2004, when the band was touring in support of their Spitfire Records release, Evolution.

Now, in 2025, the band returns to the East in support of their acclaimed 2021 album Eulogy Death March, a tour that’s not only highly anticipated by fans but also historic in nature. This lineup is the closest to the original Pissing Razors roster the band has had in years and features:

Joe Rodriguez – Vocals
Eddy Garcia – Drums
Mat Lynch – Guitar
Geo Gomez – Bass

The East Coast leg will feature direct support from Single Bullet Theory, the long-running East Coast metal force fronted by Matt DiFabio. DiFabio has strong ties to Pissing Razors himself, having played guitar on the 2003 tour supporting Evolution. Now, over 20 years later, the two camps reunite on the same stages once again.

Joe Rodriguez shared his thoughts on the tour’s significance:

“The return to the East Coast after over two decades would mark a significant milestone, not just as a tour to the area with our friends in Single Bullet Theory but a reconnection with the fans in regions we haven’t formally visited in a long time. It symbolizes the longevity of the band and our dedication to the groove metal scene, keeping the genre alive in new and legacy markets.

For long-time fans on the East Coast, it would be a nostalgic and emotional event, potentially the first chance to see the band live in nearly a generation. For the band, it’s an opportunity to re-establish our presence, maybe test new songs (like tracks from our 2021 album Eulogy Death March), and grow our audience geography beyond our Texas-heavy touring footprint.”

Eddy Garcia added:

It’s with great pleasure that we get to hit the East Coast for a few dates! We haven’t been that way since 2003! Many thanks to Matt and Single Bullet Theory! We look forward to seeing old friends and making some new ones! East Coast fans have always treated us well, and we look forward to playing all of these shows! Cheers!

Formed in the mid-’90s, Pissing Razors gained a reputation for relentless touring and uncompromising live shows. From the late ’90s through the early 2000s, the band seemed to live on the road, clocking in tours alongside Cannibal Corpse, Six Feet Under, W.A.S.P., and select U.S. and European dates with Anthrax and NYHC legends Pro-Pain. Their impact helped shape the sound of American groove metal, influencing a new generation of heavyweights including Lamb of God and Gojira.

The upcoming East Coast tour promises to be a celebration of Pissing Razors’ legacy, a testament to their longevity, and a heavy reminder of their ongoing power and relevance in today’s metal scene.
