Xibalba announce tour supports
The support acts for the upcoming Xibalba Australian tour have been announced, with Shinto Katana, Deceiver and Relentless confirmed for various shows around the country. Melbourne's Warbrain will join the Californian heavy hardcore five-piece for all shows.Perhaps the heaviest hardcore band in recent years, Xibalba from Pomona, CA are on their way to Australia for the first time in April. Having released their first full length “Madre Mia Por Los Dias” on A389 Recordings last year, they followed it up with a cracking split with NY bruisers Incendiary on Closed Casket Activities and are now preparing for the release of new album “Hasta La Muerta” on the legendary Southern Lord. Their sound has been likened to Disembodied, Earth Crisis and Obituary, with aggressive speed giving way to apocalyptic breakdowns and brutality. Australia has never seen anything like Xibalba before.
