Band Welcomes Back Guitarist/Singer

Kirk Williams On These Shows!

California sludge metal heavy hitters ARMED FOR APOCALYPSE are stoked to announce a new wave of West Coast shows! The uncompromising outfit will hit the road once more on the strength of their latest full-length LP, 2022’s ‘Ritual Violence’. And for these upcoming shows, the band is eager to share a very special announcement – the return of guitarist/vocalist Kirk Williams on these shows!

Commenting on this news, the band shares:

“We are excited to announce that Kirk Williams, former guitarist/singer of ARMED FOR APOCALYPSE, will be filling in on second guitar for this run. Kirk’s a shredding guitarist, a bad ass vocalist, and all-around rad dude! We’re stoked to have him back in the van and share the stage with him.”

Listen to ‘Ritual Violence’ HERE

‘Ritual Violence’ is an uncompromising aural onslaught that sees the band at their most aggressive. Both a product and expression of their never-die attitude, it’s the album ARMED FOR APOCALYPSE always wanted to make, done with the engineer of their dreams in Kurt Ballou at God City (Converge, High On Fire, Every Time I Die) and the label they wanted to partner with, Candlelight Records.

The new album features guest appearances from Andreas Kisser (Sepultura) on “Foredoomed” and Trevor Phipps (Unearth) on “Suffer For A Living”.

It’s ARMED FOR APOCALYPSE refined to its purest form: 0 percent frills, 100 percent heavy riffs.
