Philadelphia hypergrind trio, DIE CHOKING, has finalized the itinerary for their maiden European tour with Department Of Correction this February, coinciding with the CD release of their III debut LP. The band will tackle upstate New York this weekend, and has announced a ton of additional 2016 tour dates as well.

Surrounding its initial deluxe vinyl release through Earsplit’s The Compound Recs in October, DIE CHOKING’s III has been issued glowing accolades from international punk and metal press outlets and bewildered fans who have witnessed the trio deploying the LP’s ripping anthems live. III will now be issued on CD as the band raids Europe for the first time. From February 12th through the 27th, DIE CHOKING will partner with Paris-based Department Of Correction for a two-week tour across Europe, the shows heavily concentrated in the UK and France, and including a set at the first DeathFist Fest in Nantes. The CD version of III will be available exclusively to tour attendees on all dates, and then see public availability on February 26th, in Europe via Selfmadegod Records and in the US via The Compound Recs/Earsplit Distro.

DIE CHOKING plays Syracuse and Ithaca, New York this Saturday, January 8th and Sunday, January 9th, both shows with upstate grinders, Sulaco (ex-Brutal Truth, Napalm Death). The band also continues to book gigs through the first half of 2016, this week being confirmed to take part in Berserker III Fest in Detroit in early March, joining Macabre, Black Tusk, Yautja, Mutilation Rites, Conan, Voivod, Ghoul, Fucking Invincible and tons more. Several additional tour dates with Fucking Invincible will follow the fest, with several of them now booked through mid-March. DIE CHOKING is also working on an April Southeast mini-tour with Organ Dealer, and a May New England mini-tour with Pyrrhon.
