Grendel announces 'The Ascending The Abyss' North America Tour

Dutch/UK based industrial-rock artist Grendel has announced their North America tour with industrial artists Striplicker, synthwave artist Glass Apple Bonzai and darkwave upstarts Esoterik in support of their upcoming album “Ascending the Abyss”.

Grendel frontman JD Tucker recently changed Grendel’s sound with their 2017 album “Age of the Disposable Body”, demonstrating a shift away from standard industrial, adding elements of rock, synthwave, post-punk, and darkwave. On the upcoming release Tucker mixes aggressive guitars, 80s style synths and intelligent percussion work.

“Ascending the Abyss” will be available this summer on Metropolis Records (North America) and Infacted Records (EU).

Since you’re here …

… we have a small favour to ask. More people are reading Side-Line Magazine than ever but advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. And unlike many news organisations, we haven’t put up a paywall – we want to keep our journalism as open as we can. So you can see why we need to ask for your help.

Side-Line’s independent journalism takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. But we do it because we want to push the artists we like and who are equally fighting to survive.

If everyone who reads our reporting, who likes it, helps fund it, our future would be much more secure. For as little as 5 US$, you can support Side-Line Magazine – and it only takes a minute. Thank you.
