COUGH, the mighty US sludge-doom band from Richmond (Virginia), and in the roster of Relapse Recs., is going to tour around Europe this next April and to appear in some festivals like Roadburn and Heavy Days in Downtown. Between the end of their "official" tour and the weekend of Heavy Days in Downtown festival in Denmark the COUGH bunch will intersect their path with the Italian sludge metal band GRIME (on Mordgrimm, Forcefield Recs.) on tour and will play some extra tours dates together with these sick Eyetalian metallers! GRIME will tour alone in their way to pick COUGH up and in their way back to Italy after the tour.
These bands do not need much introduction to you, folks, but let’s just refresh memory about the fact that COUGH are a bunch of super cool and friendly guys and that their second full-length album Ritual Abuse is one of the best sludge and doom albums of these last years. And GRIME, also cool and friendly, invaded Europe, and possibly the world, with their load of sludgy sickness and mammoth heaviness when they released their much acclaimed, overly crushing debut album last year.
