Howling Giant Announce Spring Tour and Vinyl EP Release

Howling Giant Announce Spring Tour and Vinyl EP Release

Cosmic psych-metallers drop much-demanded vinyl EP and break in their new bassist on the road; full album due this summer. If ever there was a band who seemed to be following a treasure map from humble origins to future psych-metal stardom, it's Howling Giant. And 2019 is shaping up to be their biggest year yet.

First, the interplanetary riff-rockers will see their self-titled debut EP get an official release from Blues Funeral Recordings.

Featuring EC Comics-inspired artwork by Darren Merinuk and all tracks fully remastered by Dave Shirk (Mastodon, The Obsessed), the March 22nd release of this glorious slab on digital and wax marks the band's first-ever vinyl offering, giving longtime supporters the chance (at last) to bring home a tangible piece of Howling Giant heaviness after watching them tear up yet another stage

And speaking of tearing up stages, the band is just starting to gear up for a huge year on the road, with a clutch of dates in March leading straight into an almost month-long tour in April/May.

Featuring a string of shows with Indiana's Archarus, the back-to-back tours include slots at the ever-popular South by Southwest Stoner Jam as well as the fest you're guaranteed to forget (or you're doing it wrong), the Psycho Smokeout (from the folks who bring you Psycho Las Vegas).
