Just home from completing a tour with Kobra And The Lotus, Bay Area natives and thrash metal band Hatchet are preparing to hit the road September 22 for a six-week tour with Doyle, the namesake band of Doyle Von Frankenstein (formerly of The Misfits), alongside supporting acts The Family Ruin and Calabrese, with select dates featuring Hatchet with Lich King. The tour falls in line with the release of Hatchet's highly anticipated third studio album Fear Beyond Lunacy, out October 30 via The End Records/ADA.
Says Hatchet's founding member, vocalist, and lead guitarist, Julz Ramos: "We definitely learned a lot from Kobra and that tour's diverse metal bill, who all had their stuff dialed in tight. Now we are proud to announce our next tour supporting Doyle. Being a thrash band you always have that hardcore punk influence somewhere in your sound and it will be exciting to play to more of that crowd. We will be hitting some new territories this time around as well. Look forward to seeing the Hatchet Legions in full force!"
