El Paso groove metal legends, Pissing Razors, are set return to the East Coast for the first time in over two decades. This is their first appearance in the region since 2004, when the band was touring in support of their Spitfire Records release, Evolution. Now back, promoting their 2021 album, Eulogy Death March, the current lineup is the closest to the original Pissing Razors roster in years, featuring Joe Rodriguez, Eddy Garcia, Mat Lynch, and Geo Gomez. Direct support comes from Single Bullet Theory, fronted by former Pissing Razors guitarist, Matt DiFabio. Find more information below.
Joe Rodriguez shared his thoughts on the tour’s significance:
“The return to the East Coast after over two decades would mark a significant milestone—not just as a tour to the area with our friends in Single Bullet Theory but a reconnection with the fans in regions we haven’t formally visited in a long time. It symbolizes the longevity of the band and our dedication to the groove metal scene, keeping the genre alive in new and legacy markets. For long-time fans on the East Coast, it would be a nostalgic and emotional event, potentially the first chance to see the band live in nearly a generation. For the band, it’s an opportunity to re-establish our presence, maybe test new songs (like tracks from our 2021 album Eulogy Death March), and grow our audience geography beyond our Texas-heavy touring footprint.”
Eddy Garcia added:
“It’s with great pleasure that we get to hit the East Coast for a few dates! We haven’t been that way since 2003! Many thanks to Matt and Single Bullet Theory! We look forward to seeing old friends and making some new ones! East Coast fans have always treated us well, and we look forward to playing all of these shows! Cheers!”
Formed in the mid-’90s, Pissing Razors gained a reputation for relentless touring and uncompromising live shows. From the late ’90s through the early 2000s, the band seemed to live on the road, clocking in tours alongside Cannibal Corpse, Six Feet Under, W.A.S.P., and select U.S. and European dates with Anthrax and NYHC legends Pro-Pain. Their impact helped shape the sound of American groove metal, influencing a new generation of heavyweights including Lamb of God and Gojira. The upcoming East Coast tour promises to be a celebration of Pissing Razors’ legacy, a testament to their longevity, and a heavy reminder of their ongoing power and relevance in today’s metal scene.
