Like a voracious hellion, the mighty HIMSA have returned to annihilate the masses with their scathing new metal assault, Summon In Thunder. They kick off their worldwide touring campaign overseas this Sept. on a month-long European tour alongside As I Lay Dying, Darkest Hour and Maroon. Look for them to make their triumphant return to the U.S. in Oct. as part of a major package alongside Amon Amarth, Decapitated and Sonic Syndicate. See below or visit www.myspace.com/himsa for the complete tour routing.
Johnny Pettibone states: “Summon in Thunder – History has repeated itself in nature’s vicious circle, giving a warning to the deterioration and collapse of humanity around us all. The heaviness of inspiration and failure, the strive to succeed and the pain of defeat. A call of cleansing for man’s evils throughout the ages be it political, environmental, religious, or individual mental being. We all are guilty in the journey of survival.”
Summon In Thunder will also include such extras as a video for the track “Unleash Carnage,” a 15-minute making-of-the-album documentary, photo gallery and a bonus disc featuring tracks from an array of Century Media’s most promising new artists.
The Seattle-based metal quintet’s ferocious blend of melodic, unrelenting thrash speed mixed with old-school influences results in a savage, unique and uncompromising sound that is welcome, refreshing and undeniable. This scorching new effort (and debut Century Media offering) also marks the return of original guitarist, Sammi Curr, to the fold. With Curr rejoining and collaborating with Kirby Johnson (guitars), the group’s integrity and passion were at an all-time high, resulting in their most dynamic, yet devastating material yet.
In 2007, HIMSA are destined to leave a definitive mark on the genre.
This is the sound of American metal’s next truly great band realizing their own excellence and basking in a self-made glow of invincibility 9 out of 10
