THE BEAST

Burning hot following their March tour to SXSW and the official worldwide physical and digital re-release of their original EP, Nashville psych-metal trio Howling Giant return to the road this week for nearly a month of dates across the Southwest, West Coast, Pacific Northwest and Midwestern United States.

The tour sees the band hitting many cities for the first time, and includes a much-anticipated slot at Psycho Entertainment's PSYCHO SMOKEOUT in Los Angeles on, obviously, 4/20, alongside marquee artists like Elder , YOB , and Monolord , among many others.  

And speaking of Psycho Entertainment, this week they pulled back the curtain on the secret lineup for the Psycho Las Vegas PSYCHO SWIM pre-party on Thursday, August 15th, revealing Howling Giant in one of the coveted slots along with heavyweights like Corrosion of Conformity , ASG , and Primitive Man also on the bill.

All this live activity is building toward the release of the band's first full-length album, due for a September release on Blues Funeral Recordings . 

With roughly eighty percent of the album tracking completed, Howling Giant is looking to make a massive statement with this record and delivering on the promise of their first three EPs and aggressive tour schedule of the past two years.
