Denver misery makers PRIMITIVE MAN will kick off a West Coast headlining tour this Spring. The journey, which runs from May 19th in Fort Collins, Colorado through June 18th in Dallas, Texas, includes appearances at Northwest Terror Fest and Austin Terror Fest. Direct support will be provided by Infernal Coil, Celeste, Wayfarer, and Forn on select dates. The tour follows the band’s forthcoming North American takeover next month with Spectral Voice. PRIMITIVE MAN has also announced a United Kingdom tour from April 25th to May 06th with Bismuth. The UK excursion includes an exclusive one-off and the band’s first ever performance in Tel Aviv.. See all confirmed dates below.
PRIMITIVE MAN will be touring in support of their critically-lauded Caustic full-length, recently released via Relapse Records. Captured at Flatline Audio by Dave Otero (Cobalt, Cephalic Carnage, Cattle Decapitation et al), Caustic is twelve songs and over seventy-five minutes of bloodcurdling howls, abysmal tones, and dense, unsettling feedback, spewing forth a cesspool of utter misery. With lyrical themes ranging from political corruption, personal struggle, and the crumbling social climate facing the world today, Caustic serves as a cataclysmic soundtrack for a world gone awry.
Watch PRIMITIVE MAN’s previously released videos for “Victim” and “Commerce” via YouTube HERE. Stream Caustic HERE.
Caustic is out now on CD, 2xLP, cassette, and digital formats via Relapse Records. Physical packages and digital orders are available via Relapse.com HERE and HERE.

**PRIMITIVE MAN only
“…an over 75-minute-long, dense, disturbing soundtrack to horror. Manic blast beats and tremolo-picked minor chords melt into feedback-drenched waves of discomfort. The weight of the album is visceral, its misery and hopelessness made audible.” – Noisey
“…filthy, ugly, brutish, and sounds like a long lifetime of hatred, pain, misery and destruction.” – Metal Injection
“It’s louder. It’s heavier. It’s noisier. Pure punishment. Musical masochism. Straight up no daylight chained to a cold, concrete, blood-stained floor…” – The Needle Drop
“…a double dose of their debut Scorn – McCarthy’s tone is still that high-end Ballou-style (from Dave Otero) production that shows the frayed ends of sanity and his roar has never sounded deeper or angrier.” – Decibel
“There is no other way to convey the realization of the vile nature of existence without tempos this slow, and of riffs so massively distorted, grotesque, and just fucking doused in nauseating hatred as these are…” – Cvlt Nation
“…some of the heaviest, grinding, industrial-charged sludge you’re likely to suffer through.” – Team Rock
“Art should reflect its surroundings, and this is a near perfect example of this: the worst of the human condition, condensed into a darkly poetic display of doom metal. Plus it’s super fucking heavy, which is just fantastic.” – Heavy Blog Is Heavy
“…an overwhelming masterwork of unbridled extremity.” – The Obelisk
“…for those who like their doom on the punishingly callous and despondent side, smothered with noise-ridden dread and bitterness, this one’s for you.” – Exclaim
“…a brutal atmospheric record, delivering a soul crushing presence of utter nihilism and darkness.” – New Noise
“…completely unyielding, unforgiving and cold.” – Svbterranean
