Be
warned. Hell hath no fury like the “Zombie Apocalypse Tour” led
appropriately by SCUM OF THE EARTH (@scumoftheearth), with Blue Felix and
Athel. The onslaught commences August 31 in Kansas City, MO at
Aftershock.
SCUM OF THE EARTH is invading
America in support of the August 28 worldwide release of THE DEVIL MADE ME DO IT on the
Chicago-based Goomba Music, Inc. label (with distribution through eOne in North
America). Joining singer/guitarist/band mastermind RIGGS on the trek is
bassist Nick Mason (who doubles as a tattooist at RIGGS’ Monster Tattoo shop in
Branson, MO), guitarist Virus (who also plays guitar in Dope) and drummer Eddie
Travis. A trailer for the tour can be seen here: http://bit.ly/L7Y2oz.
The first single, “The Devil
Made Me Do It III,” was released last month and was heard during the New Jersey
Devils’ Stanley Cup playoff games. It was recorded at the Mansion Studio
in Branson, MO by RIGGS and Brandon Mashburn (Trust Company, The Dreaming).
A video for the song was recently shot in Ft. Lauderdale, FL at The Native
Village, which is where part of “Jackass 3D” was filmed. Directed by Tim
King (SOiL bassist and Director of A&R at Goomba Music, Inc.), viewers get
exactly what they expect (and more) from SCUM OF THE EARTH, including live
snakes, RIGGS in an alligator pit, zombie voodoo girls, fire breathers, lots of
blood, and wild animals. The clip can now be seen on the Goomba Music’s
YouTube here http://bit.ly/PuFe2H.
Meanwhile, fans who purchase a CD copy of THE DEVIL MADE ME DO IT will have access to a coupon for a free SCUM OF THE EARTH devil tattoo at Monster Tattoo. As RIGGS exclaims, “It’s their chance to bankrupt me!”
