Idle Hands

”Our last full length came out over two years ago and much has changed, including the band and I, our name, etc… so I consider this a reintroduction of ‘us’ to those who connected with our music in the past,” the band says.

Idle Hands were forced to change their name over US trademark laws, and now they’ve picked out a new one.

”This is the last Idle Hands newsletter you will be receiving,” singer and composer Gabe Franco writes.

New heavy jams from Pallbearer, Svalbard, Undeath, Neurosis’ Steve Von Till, Foretoken, Enslaved, Cunts, Valkyrie, Kommand, Unreal City, Inter Arma, and more…

Listen to new songs by Benny the Butcher, Unreal City, Katie Dey, Emmy the Great, Half Waif (Mirah cover), Liv.e, Teenage Halloween, Idle Hands, Jon Hassell, and more…

All proceeds from ‘FU*K THE VIRUS’ will directly benefit all musicians involved.

The Seattle and San Francisco stops on the 2020 Decibel Tour — which was to feature Mayhem, Abbath, Gatecreeper and Idle Hands — had already been canceled due to the coronavirus, but now the whole the tour has been scrapped, one day before it was set to begin in Denver.

Both tour stops have been cancelled as large gathering bans have been enacted in each city. Meanwhile, Mayhem drummer Hellhammer won’t be making it out on tour this time, either, due to a shoulder injury.

Including Cave In, Nick Cave, Chromatics, Swans, Kate Tempest, Lana Del Rey, Blood Incantation, Chelsea Wolfe, Purple Mountains, Spirit Adrift, Mizmor, Better Oblivion Community Center, and more.
