Australian thrashers 4ARM are launching a North American tour tonight that runs through February 28, opening for Testament, Overkill and Flotsam and Jetsam. The band’s sound is pure thrash, but it doesn’t fetishize the roughness of the ’80s; it’s got the high-tech sheen of more modern bands like Lazarus A.D. or Evile, with vocals somewhere between Metallica‘s James Hetfield and Rigor Mortis‘s Bruce Corbitt. Here’s the video for their song “Submission for Liberty,” the title track of their new album:
