Exhorder Rides the Final Wave: The Tour of Unsound Minds Shakes the US

The legendary New Orleans thrash metal powerhouse, Exhorder, is gearing up to unleash their fury one last time in 2023 with a headlining tour that promises to be an unforgettable ride for metalheads across the U.S. Dubbed the Tour Of Unsound Minds: Act II, the band will storm the stage starting September 25 in West Virginia, culminating in a raucous finale on October 18 in Indiana. Joining them on select dates are formidable support acts Intoxicated, No/Más, Phantom, and Parabellum, ensuring a lineup that is as fierce as it is diverse.

Vocalist Kyle Thomas is fired up for this tour, declaring, “Here we are, folks! It’s the last tour of the year for Exhorder. We are amped to be out with all of the bands on this package! Expect to hear some songs you may not have heard us play in some years, and maybe even something this band has never played before!” This is not just another tour; it’s a chance for fans to witness a unique setlist that dives deep into the band's extensive catalog, alongside exclusive merch that has fans buzzing with anticipation.

After a tumultuous history that began in 1986, Exhorder has experienced their share of peaks and valleys, including a staggering 27-year hiatus post their 1992 Roadrunner Records release. Their triumphant return with the critically acclaimed Mourn The Southern Skies in 2019 reignited their legacy, and the upcoming release of their latest album, Defectum Omnium, due in 2024, marks a significant chapter in their storied journey. As Thomas poignantly states, “The world is a dumpster fire, and we are all complicit,” encapsulating the gritty essence of both their music and the times we live in.

The new album, produced by Exhorder and mixed by the renowned Jens Bogren, promises to harken back to the band's roots while tackling the harsh realities of modern existence. Fans hungry for a taste of what’s to come can preview and purchase Defectum Omnium through various platforms, ensuring they’re ready for the chaos that is sure to ensue during the tour.

As tickets fly off the shelves, the anticipation builds for a tour that is not just a series of shows, but a celebration of Exhorder’s relentless spirit and a reminder of their indelible mark on the metal scene. Get ready to thrash, because the legends are back, and they’re here to remind us all why they’re still a force to be reckoned with.
