Napalm Death and the Melvins have announced a joint North American tour for next year.
The bands hit the road with Japanese band Melt Banana for the 2016 Savage Imperial Death March Tour on March 26 in Arizona.
Napalm Death bass player Shane Embury says: “We have been talking about doing a tour like this for a long time so we are thrilled it’s finally happening. Having been longtime fans and friends of the Melvins, we are very happy to be embarking on this six-week tour of musical madness with them and Melt Banana. Expect the unexpected.”
Melvins mainman Buzz Osborne adds: “Napalm Death sound like a gorilla on LSD firing a machine gun… and I mean that in a good way. We’re happy to be heading out with the ultimate grindcore pioneers.”
The bands previously collaborated on 2004 album Retroactive Abortion by Venemous Concept.
Tickets go on sale on December 4.
