Sacred Reich Announce UK And European Tour

Former Machine Head drummer Dave McClain's original band Sacred Reich (of which he is once again a part of) have announced a massive run of shows.

Sacred Reich Announce UK And European Tour

Last year it was confirmed that, after leaving Machine Head at the end of their North American tour, drummer Dave McClain would rejoin his original band, Sacred Reich.

Now, the U.S. thrash metallers – who are in the studio working on a new record, Awakening, due out this year – will be hitting the road throughout the UK and Europe in November.

“I’m so excited about re-joining my brothers in Sacred Reich," Dave says. "To have the opportunity to make and play music with one of my favorite metal bands was always something I hoped could happen. I can’t wait for everyone to hear the new album that we’re recording and to come see us out on the road in 2019-2020.”

Frontman Phil Rind adds: “Recording is in full swing with producer Arthur Rizk at The Platinum Underground in Arizona. We are so excited to be back in the studio after 23 years and Dave is currently killing it on the drums. It sounds sick! Our new record Awakening is due this summer. Stay tuned! Tour dates across the planet coming your way!"
