Valient Thorr Announce New Album, Tour

Posted by on March 28, 2013

On July 1st, 2003, Valient Thorr released their first album, Stranded on Earth, pressing 1,000 copies and selling them at shows. Just under 10 years later, they’ll be releasing their sixth, Our Own Masters, on June 18. The 12-track album features bizarre artwork that’s actually a 1975 painting done by drummer Jason Aylward’s father John.

The band will be launching a 24-date tour on June 12, with support coming from Gypsyhawk and Ramming Speed. The ’70s-tastic sound of Gypsyhawk and the thrashy punk of Ramming Speed will nicely complement Valient Thorr, as the band’s uptempo riffy hard rock fits right in between the two. The album’s track listing is as follows:

  1.) Immaculate Consumption
     2.) Master Collider
     3.) Manipulation
     4.) No Strings Attached
     5.) Life Hands You Demons
     6.) Torn Apart
     7.) Cerberus
     8.) Good News Bad News
     9.) Insatiable
    10.) Crowd Pleaser
    11.) Nervous Energy
    12.) Call Off the Dogs
