ROYAL THUNDER Confirm US Tour



Royal Thunder, the Atlanta based quartet Brooklyn Vegan described as "Johnette Napolitano of Concrete Blonde fronting Black Sabbath," will tour with Valient Thorr and Holy Grail this Summer.

Mlny Parsonz and Josh Weaver were recently interviewed by NPR with that piece and an mp3 of "Parsonz Curse" available today here: http://www.npr.org/blogs/allsongs/2012/ ... al-thunder. CVI, the band's debut album, is available May 22 via Relapse Records with pre-orders offered here: http://www.relapse.com/label/cvi-cd.html.

"Finally! We get to tour with our new album,CVI, coming out before we hit the road," said Parzonz about the six-week U.S. trek. "I've seen Valient Thorr several times and every time they make me smile from ear to ear. To be doing this run with them , the Kick Ass and Holy Grail is sure to be a good time."
