This is one one of the most anticipated metal festivals of the summer concert season, and that’s possibly because Cannibal Corpse, Between the Buried and Me, The Faceless, Periphery, Veil Of Maya, Job for a Cowboy, Goatwhore, Exhumed, Cerebral Bore and others are expected to destroy everything in their path! Stay tuned to Nasty Fancy as we’ll be sure to share any other updates about the tour as we hear about them. Metal!!!
As a bonus and to get you in the proper mood, here’s a taste of Job for a Cowboy’s new album, Demonocracy, released earlier this month.
