Earlier this spring, Cleveland's own 200 Stab Wounds confirmed the follow-up to their celebrated 2021 full length barrage, Slave to the Scalpel, with the announcement of their Metal Blade Records debut LP, Manual Manic Procedures.
Championed by their converts for their obvious reverence for the greats of the genre, the band's meld of classic brutality and contemporary execution has resonated with even the most discerning among the death metal traditionalists. Delivering gloriously gory, splatterhouse grade savagery, 200 Stab Wounds harken to the genre's heyday, delivered with an undeniable modern day edge.
200 Stab Wounds first introduced the new campaign with the release of the opening track in "Hands of Eternity" - a pummeling, near 5-minute wallop that more than substantiates the hype surrounding the band current ascent.
The Ohio horde then executed another offensive, recruiting Jami Morgan of hardcore outliers Code Orange for the second single, "Ride the Flatline". Inspired by the real life horrors that come with environmental disasters, the cur 200 Stab Wounds hits especially close to home - framing the fallout of the chemical spill that resulted from a train derailment in Ohio earlier this year.
Along with the late June release of the album, 200 Stab Wounds recently completed a North American run with Dying Fetus and Full of Hell that proved fruitful in the lead up to the new album's arrival. 200 Stab Wounds is also confirmed for a European trek supporting Gatecreeper later this year and has now unveiled more dates with a North American headlining stretch that will keep the band on the road for the months of August and September.
The Manual Manic Procedures Tour begins August 16th in Houston, TX and extends through September 10th in Ottawa, Ontario. The run will include supporting sets from Balmora, Upon Stone and Stabbing.
20 Stab Wounds will then join powerviolence heroes Nails for a stretch of dates punctuated with an appearance at this year’s New England Metal And Hardcore Fest in Worcester, Massachusetts. 2SW will then take on a handful of datee with Alluvial, Torture and Killing Pace.
