CLUTCH and CORROSION OF CONFORMITY have announced the "Suffer No Evil" co-headline tour, a 17-date run across the Midwest, Southwest, and Southeast United States. The tour launches April 9 in Sayreville, New Jersey and wraps up May 3 in Asheville, North Carolina, with support from JD Pinkus.
The pairing of these two bands represents a summit meeting of Southern-tinged heavy rock and metal, with both acts commanding fiercely loyal followings built over decades of relentless touring and genre-defining albums. CORROSION OF CONFORMITY will be supporting their new double album "Good God / Baad Man", set for release on April 3 through Nuclear Blast Records, while CLUTCH continue work on their highly anticipated new studio album with producer Gene Freeman, the man behind classics like "Blast Tyrant" and "Earth Rocker".
CORROSION OF CONFORMITY's new double album marks one of the most ambitious releases of their career, and the timing of the tour — launching just six days after the record drops — means fans will get to hear the new material in its freshest possible live context. The North Carolina sludge and crossover pioneers have been on a creative tear since reuniting with vocalist/guitarist Pepper Keenan.
Meanwhile, CLUTCH remain one of the hardest-working bands in heavy music, their groove-laden, blues-infused rock continuing to draw devoted crowds across the country. The addition of JD Pinkus, known for his work with BUTTHOLE SURFERS and MELVINS, adds another layer of underground credibility to an already stellar package.
This tour promises sweaty, no-frills shows packed with riffs and soul. Tickets are available now.
