The fast-rising heavy metal band, Age of Evil, will be supporting the first-ever U.S. shows for Hail – which is comprised of such renowned names as Tim “Ripper” Owens (singer, Judas Priest), Andreas Kisser (guitarist, Sepultura), Dave Ellefson (bass, F5), and Mike Portnoy (drums, Dream Theater).

The shows will take place at B.B. Kings in New York City on Tuesday, January 26, 2010, and at Showcase Live in Foxborough, MA (just outside Boston) on Wednesday, January 27, 2010. “We will tear your faces off,” declares AOE guitarist Jordan Ziff about the group’s kick-ass live show. “And if not, it’s a money back guarantee. Just kidding. But we give 150% every night we play. We are trying to rejuvenate good music into the metal scene and a certain rawness that everyone has seemed to have lost. You need to put your soul into your music.”
The Scottsdale, Arizona-based Age of Evil, which in addition to Ziff, is comprised of singer/rhythm guitarist Jeremy Goldberg, bassist Jacob Goldberg, and drummer Garrett Ziff, is riding high on wide spread acclaim for their recent release, the six-track EP, ‘Get Dead.’ “Thanks to young Arizona rockers Age of Evil, the sounds of vintage metal are alive and well as we kick off the second decade of the 21st Century,” raves Andy Secher, Editor for Hit Parader Magazine. And if that wasn’t enough acclaim, “Metal” Tim Henderson from BraveWords.com adds, “Youth Gone Wild! These school-yard bruisers are turning heads and taking vintage thrash to a new era of combat.”
Additionally, Revolver Magazine picked Age of Evil as a ‘Band to Watch” in 2010, and ‘Get Dead’ was recently deemed a “New & Noteworthy Release” for four weeks straight on iTunes. Quickly building up a solid following thanks to shows throughout the world – including European dates this past summer with the likes of Jon Oliva’s Pain, Soulfly, Arch Enemy, and Manowar – the upcoming dates with Hail! will truly be a headbanger’s delight. Judging from their rapid ascension, catch these young lads in an intimate setting while you still can! Confirmed headlining date: Joe’s Grotto in Scottsdale, Arizona on Friday, January 22nd, 2010.
