Guhts Announce Summer Tour
First question I asked Guhts was if the record was done and, if so, could I hear it. If you caught wind of their first LP, Regeneration (review here), which came out in January last year and laid early claim to being the best debut full-length of 2024, you probably already know why I asked. The not-in-the-city NY emotively-resonant post-metallers will be heralding new material on the road this June and July, doing dates on the Eastern Seaboard around appearances at Maryland Doom Fest and Asheville Doomed and Stoned, respectively.
They’ll be with VRSA in June and Somnuri in July, both of which make for good company to keep. The album doesn’t have a release date because it’s not quite all the way done as I understand it — at least that was the answer I got when I asked — so the anticipation will just have to build until, I don’t know, maybe the Fall, maybe next year? No clue, but I am interested to see how the response is to new Guhts and how much touring the band will do around the release. The music isn’t always easy on the ear, but it is vibrantly human in a way a lot of post-metal isn’t nearly brave enough to be, couching itself instead in stoic dudeism and frowny-face intentionality.
From the PR wire:
GUHTS ANNOUNCES SUMMER TOUR DATES WITH VRSA + SOMNURI – PREVIEWING NEW MATERIAL FROM UPCOMING ALBUM
Spring into summer with GUHTS as we hit the road for eight shows across the East Coast and South, including festival stops and club shows alongside some of our favorite heavy hitters.
We’re kicking things off in June with three shows alongside our longtime friends VRSA, including a spot at the legendary Maryland Doom Fest at Café 611 in Frederick, MD (June 19), before rolling into New Windsor, NY (June 20) and Hamden, CT (June 21).
In July, we’re teaming up with the unstoppable Somnuri for a four-date run from Washington, DC to Athens, GA, including a performance at the inaugural Asheville Doomed & Stoned Fest at Sly Grog Lounge (July 12). We’ll wrap the leg with a solo stop at Banditos in Richmond, VA (July 13) before heading back north.
