US thrashers Lich King and Australia’s Hidden Intent team up for Australia & New Zealand tour

THRASH ATTACK! If head snapping riffs, mosh stomping beats & loud, drunken, rowdy shows whet your metal appetite, then this banger is for you.

LICH KING (USA) tour Australia for the first time belting out grade-A, unapologetically straight-forward thrash metal in the vein of the 80’s Bay Area bands such as Exodus, Slayer, and Vio-lence. To date, the band has released five critically acclaimed full-length albums, each of which feature fast, headbangable riffs in modern stomp anthems and a sometimes comedic yet always violent songwriting sensibility. According to Metal Observer, “LICH KING have been defying public opinion, lampooning the self-righteous, and generally snapping necks with their furious brand of thrash metal.”

 

 

Joining the furious ride is Adelaide’s thrash bangers HIDDEN INTENT. Like the riotous music they play, HIDDEN INTENT have been carving their way through the masses with their unabashedly unapologetic ’80s-throwback thrash metal, a form of music that wholly embraces its American and European roots in the Bay Area, Scandinavian and Teutonic thrash scenes. Being lauded for their “energetic” live show and the “party thrash” they play for their audiences, they combine with LICH KING for what will be the most thrashable tour of the year!!!
