Reunited and touring harder than ever, the band shares the stage with genre giants Metallica, Lamb of God, and Clutch in their storied past alongside Portland-based band Red Fang who capture the loud and fast, anything-goes spirit of classic rock with their heavy stoner-influenced jams. Catch them live at The Sound in Del Mar on Saturday August 15, 2026!
