Southern California hard rock mainstays Fu Manchu are announcing details of their forthcoming new album, titled GIGANTOID, out April 29 on the band’s own At The Dojo Records.
After almost 25 years together, and following last year’s Scion A/V Club split 7″ with friends MOAB and 2009’s Signs of Infinite Power, Scott Hill and company return with their first full-length album in close to five years. Recorded with Andrew Giacumakis, singer / guitarist for the aforementioned MOAB at his studio in Simi Valley, CA, the album features a slightly more primitive, raw and ultra fuzzed-out sound than previous releases.
In addition to the new release, the band has announced a month-long North American tour, taking the band to both coasts, and throughout the majority of the country (as well as into select cities in Canada), full tour dates below.
