WINDHAND On Tour

On a trek that will see them snaking their way across the continental US and sharing stages with the likes of *ILSA, COFFINWORM, PILGRIM, MARES OF THRACE, PRIMITIVE WEAPONS, PALLBEARER, DEADBIRD, IRON TONGUE,* and more, * WINDHAND* will be playing tuneful dirges off their critically acclaimed debut LP.

The response from the press and fans alike has been immense. *Cvlt Nation'*s review insists, "*WINDHAND* takes apocalyptic blues, puts it into a punk bong, lights it with a sabbath lighter and exhales rad clouds made out of fuzzed out bliss...WINDHAND are way more than a band that you should be on the look out for, they are group of humans that will change the way your hear doom." *The Obelisk* intoned, "The album is a distinctly American answer back to the all-consuming distortion and bleary-eyed psychedelia of Electric Wizard‘s latter-day missives that strips away some of the cult mentality and puts in and puts in its place a woodsy sensibility — not forest-dwelling silliness, but something organic and un-postured," while *Heavy Blog Is Heavy* gushed, ". This music has a certain kind of conviction that leaves you yearning for more," and *To Eleven* put it simply: "This is one of those records that is so good it doesn’t need a masters thesis of a review. *This slays*."
