Hitting the comeback trail after their 2014 was derailed by a back injury to frontman Tomas Hubbard, Hang The Bastard have just made a huge announcement. London’s favourite Black Sabbath inspired sludge / stoner metal riff lords have just been confirmed as special guests for sludge / groove metal legends Corrosion Of Conformity’s first UK tour with original main man Pepper Keenan in almost a decade. Having just wowed the crowds in Belgium at the Ieper Winter Fest alongside their old friends Crowbar, this is another feather in the cap of Hang The Bastard as they continue their relentless march towards being the UK’s finest groove / sludge metal band.
The tour with Corrosion Of Conformity takes in six shows across the early – middle of March, culminating in the big London finale at the Electric Ballroom on March 13th. Full details of the tour can be read below:
