News : Merry Christmas thrashers; Heathen Skulls are bringing Havok to Australia
And it’s about bloody time. Arguably known as the leaders of the “New Wave of Thrash Metal” movement, America’s Havok are touring Australia for the first time thanks to Heathen Skulls, promoting their latest album ‘Unnatural Selection’.
Supporting the tour nationally are grindcore heavyweights King Parrot and thrash legends Desecrator, both from Melbourne.
With this tour, and the Wehrmacht /Grave / Primate triple-bill happening a couple of weeks before it, this is one hell of a start to 2014 for thrash metal fans around Australia.
