The Taste Of Armageddon Tour is set to shake up the summer with a heady mix of heavy sound and high-energy performances. Promising no frills other than raw, 100% audio carnage, this full-throttle tour unites a diverse lineup from industrial and Latin-metal to rapcore and synth-goth, calling out to the nu metal old schoolers with its rallying cry: “Where are the Nu Metal old schoolers at?”
Tour Kickoff And Lineup
Fans will soon witness a revival of the nu metal spirit with established acts such as Powerman 5000, Ill Niño, Hed PE (represented on social as (h ə d)p.e. and @therealhedpe), Priest, and The Great Alone. Scheduled from early July through early August, the tour stops include widely known venues from Colorado Springs’ Sunshine Studios to the House of Blues in Las Vegas, with select dates featuring only certain acts. For instance, the July 1 Colorado Springs show is noted to not include Ill Niño, while the Columbus, OH stop on July 4 omits Hed PE. This selective booking adds an element of surprise and variety, ensuring that each city experiences a unique facet of the nu metal experience.
A Tour Built For The Pit
The tour’s design is clear – it’s made for the pit. With reference to the official announcement, the lineup is a blend of relentless intensity and diverse musical influences. The tour promises an industrial and nu metal barrage with Latin-metal inflections, rapcore grit, and a splash of synth-goth aesthetics. As the tour description urges, there is no filler: every show is set to deliver explosive performance energy.
From Mercury Music Lounge in Lakewood, OH on July 3 to The Norva in Norfolk, VA on July 13, and further down to the Concrete Street Amphitheater in Corpus Christi, TX on July 20, audiences are promised a journey across a musical landscape that is as sprawling as it is ferocious. In addition, specialized performances are scheduled as noted on the tour calendar – such as the Powerman 5000 and Hed PE only show in Jacksonville, FL on July 15, and a Powerman 5000 exclusive date in Menahga, MN on July 26. It’s a thoughtful curation aimed at keeping the set fresh and engaging.
Diverse Venues And Uncompromising Sound
The eclectic mix of venues adds to the tour’s appeal. Small, intimate settings like Hobart Art Theater in Hobart, IN allow for a raw, unfiltered connection between bands and fans, while larger spaces such as the House of Blues in Las Vegas set the stage for a carnival-like atmosphere. Each venue has been carefully selected to match the high intensity of the performances – an embodiment of nu metal’s gritty, defiant essence.
A recent Instagram post from the tour’s official handle (https://www.instagram.com/p/DJ27kGmv7n0/) highlights a striking promotional image that captures the spirit of the event: bold, high-energy, and unapologetically fierce. The image, featuring dynamic lighting and a captivating stage presence, foreshadows the unrelenting energy fans can expect. This visual storytelling, combined with the tour’s hard-hitting lineup, continues a trend seen in previous tour announcements where artists invite their followers to prepare for an unforgettable live experience.
Connecting With The Nu Metal Community
The Taste Of Armageddon Tour isn’t just a series of concerts—it’s a revival of a movement.
