Dead Cross are bringing their frenetic blitz of thrashing hardcore fury to stages across Europe this Summer, appearing at major festivals including Primavera Sound (ES), Hellfest (FR), Download (UK & FR), Grasspop (BE), DOUR (BE) and Tuksa (FI), as well as headline club shows across the mainland, and a show in Moscow, Russia. Are you ready?
Dave Lombardo remarks, “Since Dead Cross made its rattling debut, touring Europe has been a goal. We have had incredible support from the European fans and I can’t wait for them to experience this band live. We intend on leaving the fans musically beaten and sonically battered.”
Meanwhile, as if to continue the strong socio-political commentary that permeates their debut album, Justin Pearson adds, “it will be a literal breath of fresh air to leave the US for a chunk of time in light of the political rhetoric that we are currently experiencing. Perhaps by the time we return, we can see the complete demise of #45.”

Provocative and enthralling, the self-titled album is a precise, unyielding blast of angular hardcore punk, where screeching metallic guitars, scuzzy, brooding baselines, razor sharp, full-throttle percussion, and a full-range of vocal acrobatics intersect in ludicrously entertaining glory.
Members, Michael Crain, Justin Pearson, Dave Lombardo and Mike Patton each play to their individual strengths, sounding angrier than any of them have in years, and this musical union also delivers some magical, unexpected ideas, outside the rigidity of the genre, making Dead Cross one undeniably fun album.
