Sadgiqacea

Two Philadelphia dealers of hefty doom will be out on the road together. Sadgiqacea (sad-juh-kay-sha) and Hivelords (hive-lords) are set to tour the eastern half of the States starting June 20 at Lindenwold, NJ’s the Sex Dungeon (safe word: sad-juh-kay-sha) and wrapping up back in Philly on July 30 at JR’s Bar. The tour hits NYC on July 26 at Acheron with Dana Schechter’s (Bee & Flower, Angels of Light) Insect Ark solo drone project and Sangharsha‘s apocalyptic metallic hardcore as support. No advance tickets at the moment. The full list of dates appears below.

Sadgiqacea got some shine from Invisible Oranges last year when they released False Prism via Candlelight Records. Said Fred Pessaro, “The Philadelphia two-piece’s epic sludge-doom sprinkles in moments of post-rock, Neurosis-y riffage and black metal across their four-track effort…” For a duo, they make a heck of a racket.

Hivelords, now a quintet after the addition of Sadgiqacea’s Evan Void, lean more towards black metal, but offer a similar combination of bassy sludge, unnerving howls, and hypnotic, almost-tribal sections sprinkled with stardust. On this tour, special guest Ajax of Washington experimental metallers Ardent Vein will be lending his talents to the self-described “black smoke acid nightmare worship” group. My kind of MadLibs.

All dates are listed, with streams from all bands on the Acheron show, below…
