Brooklyn Sludge Rockers Hull Announce US Tour Dates

Three-guitar led Brooklyn progressive sludge rockers, Hull, are readying for a near two-week tour with post-doom troupe Batillus next month. The 12-date trek will commence on March 11 at Kung Fu Necktie in Philadelphia, include a run through SXSW in Austin where they'll crush the masses at the Full Metal Texas and The End Records' showcases, and draw to a close at a special Manhattan performance on March 26 at The Studio at Webster Hall.

Hull kicked off what will prove to be a busy year with a devouring performance opening for doom legends Pentagram. As previously announced, the band will release their epic "Viking Funeral" EP, initially self-released in 2005, on vinyl via Science Of Silence records later this spring. The limited edition wax version will come in 180 gram blood red/black swirl vinyl with the song on one side, a laser etched image on the other and a parchment insert with the detailed "Viking Funeral" saga as well as a sticker and digital download info all wrapped in a "Viking Funeral" poster and wax-stamped with the band's logo. To get your hands on some "Viking Funeral" vinyl (as well as a sampling of the new tunes), don't miss Hull on this upcoming run of dates.

The band is putting the finishing touches on the follow-up to their critically-acclaimed "Sole Lord" debut, issued via The End Records in 2009. Their sophomore full-length will be co-produced by Brett Romnes (who played drums on the "Viking Funeral" EP) and mixed by Billy Anderson (Sleep, High On Fire, Neurosis, Eyehategod, Melvins et al). The record is slated for release this summer with another bout of live dates to follow.
