In the meantime, the boys are long overdue for a road trip and they’ll be doing it in fine fashion. First up in March they’ll be shaping up with a trip to Adelaide to play alongside one of the most legendary heavy bands of all time Pantera. From there, all through May, Black Rheno will pummel the east coast with their sonic rock fury on a further 9 dates. Be sure to get your tickets early as Black Rheno are cramming into some of the country’s most intimate venues to make these shows sweaty and swinging.
