We’re now less than a month out from New Orleans heavy rockers Suplecs releasing their first album in 15 years, Hymns Under a Blood Moon Sky (review here), Feb. 20 on Ripple Music. If you’re not immediately stoked on that prospect, it’s cool. It’s been a decade and a half, after all. A generation of bands has happened in the interim. But take it from me, the fact that this band — whose roots go back to the mid-’90s sludge scene, who released on Man’s Ruin before the collapse of the turn-of-the-century’s most crucial US imprint, and who continue to kick ass all over every stage they play — are announcing any European shows at all is a big deal.

I don’t know when the last time they went abroad was, and I don’t know when they’ll go again. There are two shows with Unsane, in London and Brussels, and a trio of dates in Norway, one of them with Håndgemeng in Oslo and one of them at a ‘private party’ in Stavenger, which is kind of an incredible thought. To whoever’s getting married there, congratulations on both the nuptials/whatever and your likely-legendary taste.

It’s still up in the air how many shows Suplecs will end up doing to support Hymns Under a Blood Moon Sky, but they’re a see-them-when-you-can band, and if you ever wanted to know why a ‘power trio’ configuration became a thing, a perfect lesson in how it’s done.
