It’s shaping up to be a big year for Sydney’s heavy groove merchants Black Rheno, and make no mistake, the boys are levelling up beyond all expectations. The guys have just returned from an epic mission of self discovery to Austin Texas to record with one of heavy music’s most prolific and influential producers; Machine (Clutch, Lamb of God, Everytime I Die, The Amity Affliction…). By all reports the results are absolutely electrifying and the album should see the light of day in the second half of 2024. In the meantime, Black Rheno are long overdue for a road trip and they’ll be doing it in fine fashion the only way they know how, by laying every stage they hit to waste with one of the most encouraging live shows around.
First up in March they’ll be shaping with a trip to Adelaide to play alongside one of the most legendary heavy bands of all time Pantera. The show at the Adelaide Entertainment Centre will be a contender for show of the year and is Pantera’s only non-festival date on their Aussie tour. From there, all through May, Black Rheno will pummel the east coast with their sonic rockin metal fury on a further 9 dates. With whispers in the wind the guys will be road testing a new tune or two off of their upcoming new record, this is a chance catch a sneak peak at whats to come.
Be sure to get your tickets early as Black Rheno are cramming into some of the country’s most intimate venues to make these shows sweaty and swinging as it gets.
