Beastmaker Announce US Touring; New Album Inside the Skull Due May 26

beastmaker

Cali sky-darkeners Beastmaker have set a May 26 release date for their second album, Inside the Skull, beyond ‘summer,’ and they’ve already booked two tours to herald the record’s arrival. This March, they’ll be out in the formidably rocking company of Texas forerunners Mothership and RidingEasy Records traditionalists Slow Season on a diverse-sounding-but-universally-righteous package tour, and following that, they’ll hit the road concurrent to Inside the Skull in May in the major markets alongside Zakk Wylde‘s Zakk Sabbath covers outfit, which is sure to expose them to an entirely different audience from that which they might otherwise engage on a given night. Pretty badass.

Well earned on the part of Beastmaker, who also toured last year with with the likes of Monolord and The Well in support of their 2016 debut, Lusus Naturae (review here), which was released — as Inside the Skull will be — through Rise Above Records. Glad to have the news about the new record and awesome to see Beastmaker are going to continue to kill it in 2017. I’ll hope to have more on the album as we get closer to the release.

For now, dates and particulars from the PR wire:

BEASTMAKER Announce North American Tour Dates With Mothership and With Zakk Sabbath on Tap!

Sophomore Album Inside the Skull Out This Summer via Rise Above Records

BEASTMAKER hail from the unlikely locale of Fresno, California. Sweating profusely in a parched no man’s land about three and a half hours northeast of Los Angeles, the city isn’t exactly a cultural mecca-and yet it’s the birthplace of Hollywood outsiders and weirdos like Sid Haig, Slim Pickens and director Sam Peckinpah. Still, it suffers from an unsurprising dearth of musicians interested in heavy rock.

As the band prepares for the release of their sophomore album Inside the Skull this summer they are ready to hit the road again in North America! The first run of dates with Mothership and Slow Season begins March 10th in Costa Mesa, CA and runs through March 18th in Seattle, WA.

Following a quick break the band will return to the road supporting Zakk Sabbath (Zakk Wylde’s Black Sabbath Cover Band). These dates begin May 19th in New York, NY and run through June 10th in San Francisco, CA. A complete list of all dates can be found below.

Drummer Andrew Alejandro Saldate IV cannot wait to hit the road:

“We are pumped to go out a support our new record Inside The Skull with the rockin folk of Mothership & All star trio of Zakk Sabbath!! It’s gonna be a hell on wheels!!! Look out!!!”

BEASTMAKER released their debut Lusus Naturae earlier this year via Rise Above Records. Lusus Naturae is available to order HERE.

Though frontman Trevor Church had the concept for BEASTMAKER as far back as 2006, it wasn’t until he and drummer Andres Alejandro Saldate IV, a.k.a. Juan Bonham, hooked up with bassist John Tucker in 2014 that the band was fully realized.

BEASTMAKER’s lyrical landscape is awash in imagery from midnight movies and the dark arts, but that’s only part of the picture.
