Our good old friends Fister are hyper active and like to infect the world with their crushing, slow, corrosive, painfully nasty doom-sludge ballads. Year 2012 saw tons of stuff released by this band from Saint Louis, Missouri. Year 2013 started with the same overwhelming trend, with the ultra dark album Gemini, unleashed in March 2013, and the Good Friday live album out during April 2013 (as cool tape version, btw …). Beside writing killer music and looking after their own life issues, earning everyday bread and auto-producing their fine solid releases, these guys (Kenny Snarzyk, Kirk Gatterer and Marcus Newstead) found the time also for organizing a summer tour that is about to start and will involve also their mates The Lion’s Daughter. As indicated in the stylish tour poster, the tour will start on July 4th 2013 right in Saint Louis, will go through big cities in the North Eastern States and will end on July 12th in Cincinnati, OH. However the guys are working on additional dates next August together with Pallbearer.Keep Fister’s pages under your radar for dates and venues.
And if you cannot grab these guys and their stuff during their tour (because you are not dwelling at the right latitude), also check their merch page out for cool releases and, recent addition, the monster-looking Infernal Paramount LP decorated with some trvly occvlt decorations!
