Oryx Announce “Immune to Light Tour”

From Tijuana, Mexico, to Rochester, New York, there’s little by way of ground that the upcoming tour from Denver two-piece Oryx aren’t looking to cover. Unless you count Canada, I guess. Or the rest of Mexico. Or other places. Point is the tour is fucking extensive. It starts on June 30 and runs until damn near September as they head out in support of their recently-issued split with Languish (review/stream here), offered up through respected Arizona imprint Battleground Records. They’re calling the run the “Immune to Light Tour,” which if you haven’t yet stopped reading this and immediately clicked down to peruse the tour dates and watch their video for “The Singularity” from the split, should give you some notion as to the perspective they’re working from.

The PR wire slipped me this one on the sly, because it’s tricky like that. Dig it:

ORYX: Denver Sludge/Doom Duo Books Massive Immune To Light US Summer Tour

Denver-based duo, ORYX, will take their piledriving sludge/doom metal out to fans all over the country this Summer, having issued the itinerary for their massive Immune To Light Tour 2016. The bruising venture will see the twosome delivering their bruising tunes to at least forty-one cities between June 30th and August 21st, with the final venues and cities being locked up now.

The Immune To Light Tour 2016 will see ORYX delivering the tunes from their split with Languish, which was released via Battleground Records in April of this year. Drummer Abbey Apple and guitarist/vocalist Tommy Davis deliver a full backline’s worth of damage on their half of the split, including an uncannily brutal Corrupted cover, their all-encompassing hymns swelling with dynamic excursions through the slow-motion realms of demolition. ORYX floods the listener with a deluge of downtuned amplification, polluted quicksand, toxic garbage, and broken hopes, bringing to mind the works of Grief, Electric Wizard, Corrupted, Ufomammut, and the like.

The ORYX/LANGUISH split LP is available through Battleground Records in a run of 300 copies on 180-gram black wax including a digital download, available HERE.
