Duel announce EU tour dates
Austin, Texas tripped-out heavies DUEL are set to release their second album “Witchbanger” this April 28th on Heavy Psych Sounds. The album was produced and engineered by lead guitarist Jeff Henson at Red Nova Ranch Studio in Texas, not far from the historic Texas Chainsaw Massacre house. The band will support the new album with an extensive European tour, see full list below.
Formed by two ex-members of Scorpion Child, these purists cut it right to the bone with heavy, deep grooves and blistering tunes. After their well-acclaimed debut "Fears Of The Dead" released in February 2016, DUEL are back with an even more raging full-length on Heavy Psych Sounds, cheekily entitled "Witchbanger".

Releasing their 2007 debut 'Pi Nature' and their 2013 EP 'No Kata' with a graphic novel, the band of brothers have teamed up once again with prolific producers GGGarth Richardson (Rage Against the Machine, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Mudvayne, Gallows) and Ben Kaplan (Biffy Clyro, Atreyu, Haste the Day) for their next full length 'Spüken' due out April 14, 2017.

It showed the true diversity of the band and their ability to take manic and intense music and make it tender and raw.
