Southern California-based metal/hardcore outfit TWITCHING TONGUES will kick off their tour with Hatebreed, Crowbar, and The Acacia Strain tonight March 16th. The trek - set to run through March 29th - comes in advance of a short US headlining tour from March 30th to April 8th. See all confirmed dates below.
TWITCHING TONGUES will be touring in support of their latest full-length Gaining Purpose Through Passionate Hatred, recently issued via Metal Blade Records. A title derived from a quote by famed social philosopher Eric Hoffer -- "Passionate hatred can give meaning and purpose to an empty life" -- Gaining Purpose Through Passionate Hatred reflects the band's mentality in approaching the record: paying homage to those who supported them while belligerently responding to their detractors. With "failure" as a core theme driving Colin Young's lyrics, it also features his first foray into the political arena, motivated by the contemporary political climate. Directly inspired by film scores, the record has a strong epic feel, the band realizing their vision of having the music flow like a story being told. While still maintaining the same levels of aggression that have traditionally characterized previous offerings, Gaining Purpose Through Passionate Hatred features more immediate and memorable melodies that evoke the sound of 2013's In Love There Is No Law.
