The Press Release:
We told you about our new album 72 Seasons, so what’s next now that we’ve escaped the studio? Hit the road, of course! You want a tour, we’ve got a tour… how about two full years worth of shows?!?!

Over the past few years, we have been so inspired by the dedication and family/community vibe of the fans who traveled to San Francisco for our recent weekend celebrations, first in 2019 with the two S&M2 shows, followed by last year’s 40th Anniversary shows. On top of that, we had a blast being a part of the 2021 Wimmer Festivals when we played two nights in one city, each with a totally different setlist. With all of that in mind, the M72 tour was born!

Most of the Metal fans know the Better Noise Music record label for notable artists such as Papa Roach and Bad Wolves among many others but they are still learning about the cinemic side of the fence known as Better Noise Films. They’ve given us a few films already with one being that Motley Crue story called “The Dirt” which was based on the bands best-selling biography and now they are dipping more into the Horror side of the fence with a release called “The Retaliators”. Since I’m upping the Horror content game in our Pop Culture features I am pleased to share the films first trailer. Check it out down below along with some casting and artwork.

The Premise: An upstanding pastor uncovers a dark and twisted underworld as he searches for answers surrounding his daughter’s brutal murder.
