SCUM OF THE EARTH Set To Launch The “ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE TOUR” August 31

TO PROMOTE THE RELEASE OF ‘THE DEVIL MADE ME DO IT,’ DUE OUT AUGUST 28 WORLDWIDE ON GOOMBA MUSIC

Be warned.  Hell hath no fury like the “Zombie Apocalypse Tour” led appropriately by SCUM OF THE EARTH (@scumoftheearth), with Blue Felix and Athel.  The onslaught commences August 31 in Kansas City, MO at Aftershock. 

SCUM OF THE EARTH is invading America in support of the August 28 worldwide release of THE DEVIL MADE ME DO IT on the Chicago-based Goomba Music, Inc. label (with distribution through eOne in North America).  Joining singer/guitarist/band mastermind RIGGS on the trek is bassist Nick Mason (who doubles as a tattooist at RIGGS’ Monster Tattoo shop in Branson, MO), guitarist Virus (who also plays guitar in Dope) and drummer Eddie Travis.  A trailer for the tour can be seen  below.

The first single, “The Devil Made Me Do It III,” was released last month and was heard during the New Jersey Devils’ Stanley Cup playoff games.  It was recorded at the Mansion Studio in Branson, MO by RIGGS and Brandon Mashburn (Trust Company, The Dreaming).  A video for the song was recently shot in Ft. Lauderdale, FL at The Native Village, which is where part of “Jackass 3D” was filmed.  Directed by Tim King (SOiL bassist and Director of A&R at Goomba Music, Inc.), viewers get exactly what they expect (and more) from SCUM OF THE EARTH, including live snakes, RIGGS in an alligator pit, zombie voodoo girls, fire breathers, lots of blood, and wild animals.  The clip can now be seen below.

Meanwhile, fans who purchase a CD copy of THE DEVIL MADE ME DO IT(AVAILABLE DIGITALLY, TOO?) will have access to a coupon for a free SCUM OF THE EARTHdevil tattoo at Monster Tattoo.  As RIGGS exclaims, “It’s their chance to bankrupt me!”

“The Devil Made Me Do It 3” the new single from Scum of the Earth (featuring former Rob Zombie guitarist Riggs) will premier during the New Jersey Devils/New York Rangers Eastern Conference Finals game at the Prudential Center in Newark, NJ on May 19.

The song is the first single from Scum of the Earth's forthcoming 3rd album, titled "The Devil Made Me Do It" due out in the fall of 2012.

Being a passionate hockey fan, Mark Nawara, President, Goomba Music, thought he would send the song to the New Jersey Devils and they loved it."When I heard the track I immediately thought of the Devils and I figured the song could fit in during their upcoming home games in the quest for the Stanley Cup. On an impulse, I contacted the team and they loved the song and are going to use it in some way" Nawara stated.

"I'm excited that the New Jersey Devils decided to use the song" states Riggs. "The track definitely had an anthem feel when I wrote it".

Goomba Music will release "The Devil Made Me Do It 3" on iTunes and other digital music outlets on Tuesday, May 22.

Scum of the Earth was formed in 2003 by former Rob Zombie guitarist Riggs. The band has released two previous albums including 2004’s  Blah...Blah...Blah...Love Songs for the New Millennium and Sleaze Freak in 2007. S.O.T.E’s new album "The Devil Made Me Do It" combines the thunderous and catchy guitar riffs that their fans have come to expect, blended with a new direction of modern electronic rhythms.
