If Slayer and King Crimson had sex in primordial ooze, then they might have ended up creating Nashville-based Today Is The Day.

The veteran noise-rock and metal outfit—known for doomsday hardcore driven by mathematical guitar and an equally scholastic rhythm section—is working on a follow up to its 2020 album No Good To Anyone and brings this much-anticipated summer tour to a venue that’s become something of a sanctuary for proggy, hardcore sounds.

Syntheticslamgaze Tampa project Gurm opens the show along with fellow Tampeño artists Blood Of The Earth and Deviant Libation owner Tim Ogden’s band Path Of Increased Indifference.

Tickets to see Today Is the Day play Deviant Libation in Tampa on Friday, June 27 are still available and start at $20.
